About a month ago we went to the FC Wacker game here in Innsbruck. They aren't quite the team that they use to be, but it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed getting out and watching another sporting event. I think I spent most my time watching the fans though. They were hooliganish, throwing batteries on the field at the opposing goalie, throwing beer at each other, an chucking countless rolls of toilet paper towards over the net after every bad call.
FC Wacker Innsbruck is an Austrian football club from Innsbruck. The club was formed in June 2002, and plays their home games at Tivoli Neu. The club regard themselves as the spiritual continuation of the team FC Tirol Innsbruck, who went bankrupt in 2002. However, legally Wacker Tirol is a distinct and separate club, and is not entitled to claim the honours won by its predecessors.
In 2007 the club was renamed to FC Wacker Innsbruck. At the end of the 2007-08 season, FC Wacker Innsbruck finished last and was relegated to the Austrian Football First League (second tier).
