German Jag Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thanks for the heads up German Jag. What league are Eintracht Braunsscheig playing in, and are they far from Hamburg? I usually use a web site called "footiemaps.com" to find out where teams play in their respective countries and cant honestly say that I noticed them. Generally we're willing to travel about 1 1/2 hours max by train to take in a game using the "Lander pass" which makes for good value. Braunschweig are top of BL2 at present. To get there from Hamburg is train to Hannover then another 35 minutes or so eastwards. If you find Wolfsburg on the map, then Braunschweig (Brunswick) is 20 miles south-west. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I remember when Eintracht Braunschweig were in the third tier they were still getting crowds of 14,000 or so. It'll be good to see them back in the top flight, where they haven't been since I was an infant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Off to Frankfurt vs Bayern next april if i can get a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 6 of us heading over to Hamburg for the weekend of April 19th. Hamburg are at home to Dussledorf, Bremen are a home to Wolfsburg and Hanover are at home to Bayern that wwekend. As a Hanover watcher, what do you reckon our chances of picking up briefs for the Hanover game will be? With a bit of luck, we may get two games in at the weekend. Off to Frankfurt vs Bayern next april if i can get a ticket. Had forgotten about viagogo. Have never used so no idea how reliable or how quick you get your tickets. H96 v Bayern E Frankfurt v Bayern €64 for the H96 fixture isn't too bad. With Frankfurt coming up last year then more interest than usual, lowest on there just now is a hefty €139! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I've registered for Bayern tickets at their home games, but next to nothing comes up for home league games. Plenty for cup games though. That was our main decision for going to Hamburg this season as opposed to Munich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty for cup games though. That was our main decision for going to Hamburg this season as opposed to Munich. Easiest way to get a ticket for the Allianz Arena is to register with one of the other BL teams and apply for a ticket for the away section. Not the best if you're a Bayern fan and looking to go all dressed up in Bayern colours. If you go "icognito" nobody bothers, and when I was in the away end last season every time Bayern scored half the away end jumped up and down. Same goes for those looking to get to a Dortmund game at the Westfalenstadion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Lufthansa are starting flights between Glasgow and Düsseldorf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thinking of heading too Cologne for a match. Anyone got any advice? What's it like for a night out etc. Cologne is nice but a bit quiet for a lad's weekend - more the kind of place you'd go on a couples weekend. I'd advise Dortmund, Hamburg or Munich, all great places with good games to go to - you can always go and watch 1860 Munich who share the Allianz Arena with Bayern If the Bayern tickets are a bit pricey tbh though tickets for most games are ok - maybe buy them at the fan shops when you get there as it is much cheaper than the ticket sites like Seatwave. All the cities above are easy enough to fly to, for Dortmund go to Weeze airport with Ryanair, about an hour away but with Deutsche Bahn being as heat as they are the journey is a breeze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed age and group going so if the pubs are good and there's plenty of totty talent to look at it could be a plan. Cheers for he responses guys. Fine as in good. There were 11 of us, age range was about 25 to 60, majority in the 30-35 range. Heavy drinkers (I fell asleep in my dinner the first night, although to be fair we had started drinking at 7am in the bar at St Pancras) and all football supporters. Edit; Dusseldorf was 20 minutes by train, cheap, no problems, perfect day and gave us the split between Cologne on Friday and Sunday and somewhere different on the Saturday.

vikingTON Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Leverkusen is also very close to the city of Cologne, if they're playing at a suitable time on your planned weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Dusseldorf is looking the plan. Flights from Glasgow half the price of Edin to Hamburg. Taking in the Gladbach v Shalke game on the Saturday. Fortuna are away as are Leverkeusen and even Cologne so Gladbach being at home will be the option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdogunderdog underdog Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm going to Berlin derby in a couple of weeks and looking forward to it. Was really easy to book tickets though we need to collect them when we get there. I'm guessing with it being a derby the atmosphere should be pretty special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
