Banner initiative: 'Your support for the Werkself'

The political authorities have decided: The rest of the Bundesliga season will be played behind closed doors. Home games at the BayArena without any support from the fans? Unthinkable actually. And that's why Bayer 04 have had an idea: Under the motto, 'Your support for the Werkself', a huge banner of support will be sited in the East Stand.

While the team under head coach Peter Bosz will be looking to secure a Champions League spot in the remaining four home games, supporters will be cheering the team on from in front of their televisions. Their seats at the BayArena will be empty. But support at the ground is possible – by optical means.

Bayer 04 fans can submit a photo to be part of a gigantic banner of support that will cover the whole of the East Stand with its width of 100 metres and a height of 20 metres. With this visual support behind them, the Werkself want to extend the perfect home record in 2020 of seven wins in seven games in the matches against Wolfsburg, Bayer Munich, FC Köln and Mainz 05.

And this is how to do it: Just send a photo in landscape format on an email with the subject heading 'Unterstützungsbanner' (banner of support) to info@bayer04.de. The closing date is Sunday, 10 May at 19.04 CET. Please make sure the photograph is of sufficient quality. The best way is to take a photo with your smart phone or a camera and submit it uncompressed.

Every supporter has a chance of their photo being on the banner. If more photos are submitted than there is space then a draw will be held.
