The club left the Munich Olympic Stadium and moved to the purpose-built modern stadium in 2005.

Referring to a comment by a shareholder who claimed the atmosphere was better at games involving 1860 Munich with whom Bayern share the stadium, Hoeness said: "Who do you think you are for criticising us when we work our socks off to create this stadium?

"You are the ones responsible for putting the atmosphere inside the stadium."

Last year, Bayern transformed several areas of VIP seating into areas for normal fans, but certain quarters believe enough is still not being done to allow true supporters to see their team in action, rather than those who can pay the most.

Every one of Bayern's home fixtures at the Allianz Arena this season is already a sell-out with a large proportion of seats taken by sponsors and club partners whereas it is near impossible for fans who are not official members of the Bayern supporters' club to see their heroes in action.

Anybody simply wanting to see a live game in the Allianz Arena would have to buy tickets for 1860 Munich who play in the second division.

However, Hoeness angrily reacted to claims that the atmosphere at the 1860 games was far superior to Bayern games.

He said: "Give up saying that everything is better at 1860. There is absolutely nothing better there.

"They are practically bankrupt and it is we who have kept them alive.

"This is populist rubbish and you would be better off finding yourself another club."

As a matter of fact, Bayern did lend 1860 a hand when they were on the brink of bankruptcy last year.

The Bundesliga giants offered to take over 1860's repayments for the Allianz Arena, which was a joint project originally undertaken when both clubs were still in the Bundesliga, but the Lions' drop into the second division had left them close to financial ruin.

The same would be the same for Bayern if they did not have such a large marketing department and were not able to earn money from other sources since ticket sales would never be able to fully finance the stadium anyway, as Hoeness explained.

"You cannot refinance that with tickets for the South Stand at only seven euros," he said.
