69,000 for a second division game!!!!! What do you think about this?

It's a unique local derby game. Average attendance for Hertha is 38,000 and for Union about 13,500 so there's an awful lot of armchair supporters come out of the woodwork for this one. To put it in perspective Union would be 19th in the Championship attendance table just below Bristol City whereas Hertha would be 8th in the Premiership just below Sunderland. Hertha are one of those yo-yo teams that jump back and forth between the Bundesliga and the Zweiteliga. Union tend to bounce around in the bottom half of the 2nd division table.
