Exact dates & times for the games through to the start of April announced earlier.

A friend is looking to go to the Hertha v Leverkusen game on 9th May. Any idea when those dates are likely to be finalised?

That's Hertha's second last fixture of the season. i believe the final 2 rounds of fixtures in the Bundesliga all take place at the same time on the same date. Google indicates that the kick-off time for this game is 14:30 and I would be inclined to trust that.

ETA: No games are moved for TV on the final 2 fixtures of the season.

Ah right nice. That would make it simpler to sort if so.

Thanks.

Yip Saturday the 9th. K/Off is at 15:30 though.

Heading to Mönchengladbach with my son the following weekend for the Mainz game. Looking forward to it!

Turns out I'll be at our dutch office when Borussia play Köln at home so hope to make that one albeit I'll need to drive to Denmark right after it en route to Stockholm.

Then back again in March for my wee sisters fiancé's stag doo, going to the game against Leverkusen then I hope to return again in April for the union Berlin game with my son again for his birthday! Looking like 5 games this season 😁

I just got a ticket for Dortmund Köln on Friday night. Absolutely fucking delighted! Always wanted to see a game there, for years. Hoping for a shock too.
For the away end? I've stood there with my Freiburg chums as we/they were battered about 4 nil. Still quite a good experience although the Freiburg fans did seem a bit confused that there was a random shouty man screaming abuse at the referee in a broad Scottish accent (a few beers had been taken). We were actually staying in Köln that weekend too, and got the train up then tram to the ground. A good day out despite the result.

Home end, west tribune closest to the south stand (big f**k off stand!)

Any recommendations on beering, things to watch for and getting away quickly after the game? 2030 kick off makes it a late one getting home.
We were actually flying back home straight after so had booked taxis to pick us up at some kind of convention centre just outside the stadium about 10 minutes before the end to bomb down the autobahn to Köln-Bonn Airport (do they still have announcements saying "Its Bonn. Köln-Bonn." in a bizarre German Sean Connery accent?).

Been to Dortmund 6 times, twice for Scotland games and 4 for BVB.

The only way really to get away quickly is to leave a few minutes early, last couple of times we've left on 85 minutes (none of the guys I go with are BVB fans, we just seem to get landed on a weekend when they're at home on our Germany trips rather than Schalke quite a lot) which has helped beat most of the rush. Getting back after always seems a lot less hassle than getting there from the Hbf and I've no idea how you ever get on a train any stop between there and the stadium.

Most of the time we just follow the well trodden path of necking cans outside the stadium or buying draught from the kiosks outside the ground, if you have plenty time before the game Wenkers am Markt is a reasonable pub a few minutes walk from the Hbf and also a comedy photo opportunity if you like the word "wankers"

The thing that annoyed me most last time was that inside the ground not only do they have the load money onto a card system, and you have to pay a deposit for the beer cups, those are annoying but tolerable, but if you want a second / third / however many drink , you need to take the cups back to a separate stand, get the euros loaded back onto the card,  then queue up again to get served. Surely it makes sense to hand over the cups each time.

Also them singing YNWA in English before the game is weird / nauseating (delete if necessary according to preference)
