Somme little mistakes:

Stadium: The current name is SCHAUINSLAND REISEN ARENA (horrible, but true!)
Previous: Meidericher SV (till 1966(!), on from the 66/67 season)
Rival: I think there's no special rival. In former times Duisburg supporters saw Schalke as their main rivals because of early Bundesliga clashes. Supporters of Rot Weiß Oberhausen consider the MSV as their biggest rival.
Cup-Finals: 4(!) times, adding 2011 to the listed ones
