This isn't just any banner; it's a meticulously crafted flag, spanning an impressive 3.5 meters in width, ensuring it captures the attention of fans and cameras alike. Schallenberg, the man behind the flag, consistently secures a prominent position for it, often choosing a spot directly behind the goal, maximizing its visibility. His motivation is simple: a deep-rooted pride in his hometown. Because he is from Spenge, naturally "Spenge" had to be written on it.
