"You can hear the echo in the background - a forklift truck beeping somewhere, metal rolling on concrete. Glenn works in a large warehouse, speaks in a calm, friendly, focused manner, and his thoughts immediately turn to football and his FC Bayern's upcoming game at PSV Eindhoven (Wednesday, 21:00 CET). "There's always time for Bayern" he says with a laugh. His voice is full of energy."
"For Glenn, a Bayern game in the Netherlands never feels like your classic away game. "When Bayern play here, it's like a home game abroad for me," he says. "I already know in the morning that it's going to be a good day." Glenn is 32 years old, lives in Vianen and belongs to the FC Bayern Holland fan club, which was founded in 2012 and now has over 650 members. A large red and white community in a country that actually thinks in orange."
""Back then, we realised there was no Bayern fan club in the Netherlands," says Glenn. "So we simply founded one. We wanted to help each other, organise tickets, watch games together, and from that, real friendships developed." Childhood memory that started it all Glenn's Bayern story begins at an early age. "I was six years old and we would always drive past the Allianz Arena on our holidays. I always said: I want to go there.""
