Hosting european football

[Sheffsteel]

Arminia Bielefeld have played 19 Bundesliga seasons since it started in 1963, have won nothing before or after, and I don't think they've been in Europe. Their ground holds 27,000 but I would think they are a bit more obscure than us.

Arminia's ground is small, it only holds 27K because it has safe standing increasing the capacity (20K seats and 7K safe standing).
We better Arminia on every big club stat....so objectively we are a far bigger club. Even just using support/ fan base it shows we have much more paying customers.

Believe we're the biggest club in Europe to have, since the war, not appeared in a cup final too.
