Die Austria are in the Croatian city of Rijeka to play NK Opatija at the 10,600-capacity Stadion Kantrida today. Built on a former quarry site between steep cliffs and the Adriatic Sea, it is regarded as one of football's most beautiful and unusual settings 💜🤍 #svas

At @thesquareball.net we were able to source and co-ordinate documents to tell fans the story of Leeds United’s ownership more fully than the club was doing in 2011. Doing this for the club’s 2026 investors would be impossible because no such documentation is available. #lufc

In December 2024, Holstein Kiel fans held a pre-match protest march against RB Leipzig, before unveiling tifos including Red Bull GmbH’s Oliver Mintzlaff and Jürgen Klopp labelling them “Totengräber des deutschen Fußballs” (“Gravediggers of German football”) #lufc #neinzuRB

In May 2023, SC Freiburg fans displayed thousands of “Keine Akzeptanz für RB” (“No Acceptance for RB”) banners at their heated DFB-Pokal semifinal against RB Leipzig, whose striker André Silva was hit by a coin. #lufc #neinzuRB

In January 2020, Union Berlin fans staged a funeral march from Leipzig’s main station to Red Bull Arena. Supporters carried a coffin and wooden crosses behind a “Football’s dying in Leipzig” banner. #lufc #neinzuRB

September 2016 saw two protests in a week. Another silence, this time by Borussia Mönchengladbach fans, before 1. FC Köln supporters staged a sit-in blocking the visiting RB Leipzig team coach and delaying kick-off. #lufc #neinzuRB www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

In August 2016, Dynamo Dresden fans threw a severed, bloodied bull’s head towards the pitch during protests at their DFB-Pokal home win over RB Leipzig. Dynamo were fined €60,000 for the incident Red Bull GmbH executive Oliver Mintzlaff labelled “tasteless” #lufc www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

In September 2014, 20,000 Union Berlin fans wore black and remained completely silent for the first 15 minutes of their home 2. Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig, behind the huge banner: “Football culture is dying in Leipzig” #lufc #neinzuRB www.theguardian.com/football/blo...

In November 2013, 6000 visiting Hansa Rostock fans stayed outside the stadium for the opening seven minutes of their 3rd tier game before entering together as a symbolic protest against RB Leipzig’s corporate model. #lufc

At RB Leipzig’s very first game in August 2009 at Carl Zeiss Jena II, home fans blockaded and bottled the visiting team bus before police used pepper spray and escorted RB Leipzig straight out of town at full time. This was in Germany’s 5th tier. #lufc thesefootballtimes.co/2019/03/06/t...

They had to run - a wild mob was chasing them. This was no game. The actual game had been whistled to a close a few minutes earlier. On 8 August 2009, RB Leipzig experienced a vitriolic welcome to the world of football.

The beginnings of the club were far from glamorous, far away from the spotlight. No VIP lounges; no air-conditioned dressing rooms; no high-tech media areas. Only a few cameras from local outlets and regional television broadcaster MDR captured the first competitive match of RB Leipzig. Fifty-five supporters saw themselves outnumbered in the stands and their team secure a point against the reserve side of Carl Zeiss Jena thanks to a
late own-goal.

Head coach Tino Vogel, son of GDR football legend Eberhard Vogel, appeared to be distraught after the match - not over his team's performance, but over the lack of fences that normally keep enraged fans away from the players. A small stadium called Platz 3 next to Jena's main arena, the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld, was an inappropriate venue given the hatred harboured for billion-euro company Red Bull and their football endeavours.

During the match, defender Stefan Schumann struggled to take a throw-in, as fans close to the pitch were throwing a number of objects onto the field. "That players are spat upon and such things is a catastrophe. That is not part of the sport," said Daniel Rosin, an experienced midfielder who had played for Bayern Munich's reserve team earlier in his career.

From Red Bullification in @thesquareball.net: how RB Leipzig was constructed by Leeds United sponsor/co-owner Red Bull GmbH #lufc thesquareball.net/leeds-united...

After several clubs - FC Sachsen Leipzig, FC St Pauli, TSV 1860 München, and Fortuna Düsseldorf - declined proposals to become Red Bull's German club
alongside its teams in Austria and America, in 2009 the company hit upon an idea that became key to its subsequent acquisitions. They entered a partnership agreement with fifth-tier SSV Markranstädt. The tiny suburban Leipzig outfit would form the basis of a club earmarked for the city's unoccupied 43,000-seat Zentralstadion, which would become Red Bull Arena, and the club, due to DFB rules, were named RB Leipzig.

An €800 annual membership scheme open only to a select few Red Bull GmbH people ensured the club met the criteria of German football's rule requiring at least 50% +1 of a club's shares to be held by
members, even if there were only seven of them. Because everything else was expendable, RB Leipzig established two things: that Red Bull's most important asset when buying a club was not its fanbase or history but merely its playing licence; and the extremes to which they would go to achieve their aims.

Very common to see protests at RB Leipzig away games in Germany. Will Leeds fans follow Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin, 1. FC Kôln, Borussia Mönchengladbach etc etc in actively opposing Red Bull GmbH or will we remain passive on this company’s presence at the club? #lufc #neinzuRB

Ares provided $500m to BlueCo. Around the FA Cup semi final it was remarked by fans how Leeds’ ownership contrasts with Chelsea’s when in fact it is also majority private equity. @pbsportswriter.bsky.social’s piece indicates 49ers Enterprises move in similar murky circles - and Red Bull GmbH. #lufc

btngnrtn@btngnrtn· May 27

Red Bull GmbH yet again described as an energy drinks manufacturer when it is absolutely not. Leeds fans need the media to do their homework on this basic fact if nothing else. #lufc thesquareball.net/leeds-united...

So why do they do it? And how? To understand that you need to know a bit about what Red Bull is. In the 1980s, Austrian toothpaste salesman Dieter Mateschitz found that a Thai drink, Krating Daeng, eased his jetlag. He did a deal with its producer, Chaleo Yoovidhya: his company would make an adapted, fizzy version of the drink that Mateschitz would market to Europe and beyond. The company, Red Bull GmbH, was split 49% Mateschitz and 51% Yoovidhya, but Mateschitz would run it. Red Bull is still produced today in Thailand by TC
Pharmaceutical and canned in Europe
and the USA by the Austrian firm, Rauch.

In the end Austria Lustenau beat Amstetten 2-1 and the Vorarlbergers are promoted as champions #ligazwa

btngnrtn@btngnrtn· May 14

On head-to-head, Lustenau have the advantage over St Pölten and FAC, but FAC have it over St Pölten. I <think> 🤷‍♂️ #ligazwa

btngnrtn@btngnrtn· May 14

Instead the focus is on promotion to Bundesliga, which is complicated not only because it involves three clubs but because of how Austria uses head-to-head records and <then> goal difference/goals scored to separate teams level on points 🤯 #ligazwa
