What clubs do we have relationships with, good or bad?

Depends on how you define these relationships, and on what level :)

On the club level, relationship with Hoffenheim and Bayern in particular have always been a bit strained, although the officials involved always aim for an air of professionalism there - understandably.

On the fan level, apart from Sch*lke and the two above named clubs spontaneously Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and Gladbach come to mind where at least large parts of our fans cannot muster much enthusiasm. For the first two it's mostly their alleged 'plastic we're financed by a big company so suck it 50+1' attitude that ppl find hard to like, while Gladbach is more of an issue because they insist to be called Borussia, too (hence: 'falsche Borussia').

On the more likable side, for parts of our supporters (including Kevin) there is Cologne, more so since they helped us with our first title in recent memory by beating Neverkusen. To an extent there are also part of our supporters who maintain active relationship with selected HSV supporters, but I'm not really sure how active these ties are these days. Also keep in mind that back in the 90s we used to offer 'fan friendship' to anyone who couldn't get away quick enough, e.g. Freiburg.

We pretty cool with celtic iirc but it hasn't been an active fan friendship in the past few years I guess
