A home match in the Westfalenstadion without Borussia

A home match in the Westfalenstadion without Borussia Dortmund?

A home match in the Westfalenstadion without Borussia Dortmund? Impossible - except on April 2, 1976. It was no April Fool's joke: VfL Bochum and FC Schalke 04 actually played each other that day on the turf of the World Cup arena, meaning Borussia's dearest enemies had the place to themselves. To make matters worse for local sensibilities, Schalke won 4:1. The reconstruction of Bochum's Ruhrstadion had made the one-off arrangement possible.
