Yes the poor naive Cologne fans things is a bit tiresome. There are mixed sections in German grounds but a small bit of internet research would tell them they weren't going to get in (easily, anyway). They may be a bit backward up there but FFS an abacus could have helped with the whole 20,000 into 3,000 doesn't go. Quite remarkably, little trouble in the effort and the majority seemed fine. Quite how that totally excuses the behaviour of the minority who were ****ing idiots is beyond me
