The SVD has a new Bundesliga record player! In addition, Paul Fernie can't just be happy about his new job as sports director at the Lilies this week. And the second team would like to stay in touch with the top places in the C league in the upcoming away game. You can find out all this in our weekly section “Lilies across the board."
The SVD has a new Bundesliga record player. Thanks to his appearance last Saturday in Mainz, Lilien captain Fabian Holland now has 66 Bundesliga games for Darmstadt 98, overtaking Marcel Heller, who once played in 65 first division games for the South Hesse team. In total, Holland now has 295 appearances for the 98ers, only three players can boast more appearances in the lily jersey: Edwin Westenberger (373), Dieter Rudolf and Oliver Posniak (both 342). The 33-year-old Holland has been playing at Böllenfalltor since 2014 and was used in 50 Bundesliga games from 2015 to 2017. The Berlin native once moved from Hertha to southern Hesse.
We can’t just congratulate Paul Fernie on his new job as sports director at SV Darmstadt 98, but also on his birthday: This Wednesday (April 10th) he can look forward to his 37th birthday. The native Englishman was most recently the sporting director at Wehen Wiesbaden and is now coming to Böllenfalltor. He will officially start working for SV 98 next week. The presentation will take place at a press conference on Tuesday (April 16). We wish you a nice day and all the best for your start with the Lilies!

As part of our monthly fan evenings, we would like to provide the opportunity for exchange between the club and its members and fans. We realised how important this exchange is after the Augsburg game and are generally of the opinion that we have to constantly develop, improve and design many things together at the rebuilt Bölle. We would therefore like to focus on the various stands at intervals during our fan evenings in the future. And then we use the collected results and experiences to create the overall stadium experience „Böllenfalltor“.
