Clubhouses are an integral part of the sports world. They belong to every amateur club and are an elementary component of club life. We are happy to give you an insight into who fills your clubhouse with life.
The landlords: The landlords are often a married couple who have been running the place for 20 years. They get to know everything about the club and are helpful people. They'll even call you a taxi in the evening if you've been drinking too much. They'll also put your drinks on a tab if you're short of cash at the end of the month. The landlords are pure identification and reflect the face of the club for many people. In short: nothing works without the landlords!
The regulars: When the first team plays, they are there to open the match with a cold beer. Whatever the weather. After the game, they discuss the substitutions and substitutions, just like the professionals. By the way: the regulars also remember who scored the decisive goal in the 1997 cup final for the B-youth team!
The storymakers: Former players who have experienced everything in their amateur careers and recount the promotion to the Kreisliga B as if it had been a Champions League victory. Cup victories and dramatic relegation matches are of course also part of the story. The regulars and the landlord and landlady can now sing along to the stories.
The team: Whether after training or after the game, a few drinks in a cosy atmosphere are a must. One or two of them might even give up training and matches altogether. After strong performances on the pitch, the coaches also like to pop a pint.
The couple: He has been a club member for 50 years and enjoys his free time as a newly retired person. She is also retired and has been by his side for over 50 years. Both come once or twice a week and always order the same dish.
The ‘second’ men: The second men are often the team coaches who form the heart of the team structure. After the game, the first thing they do is have a cold beer to help with the frustration or to celebrate the victory - regardless of how the team played. The later it gets in the evening, the more generous the carers become towards the other guests.
The wise old man: he still knows the grandfathers of today's coaches and players and played on pitches that no longer exist. He remembers what the atmosphere was like in derby matches and talks about the club's old sporting greats. Even the storymaker pauses at a moment like this and nods in agreement.
The pub gamblers: Skat, Doppelkopf or Rummy - every Friday, the gamblers meet in the clubhouse to play cards together over a beer or two.
The family: The family live right next to the football pitch and come regularly with their two children. They don't necessarily have anything to do with the sport, but enjoy the flair of the club and the children like to eat schnitzel with chips.
