Friday: flying to Stuttgart Saturday: Freiburg v Mainz Sunday: Eintracht v Schalke Monday: flight home from Stuttgart Really looking forward to it. We’ve got about 24 hours in each of Stuttgart, Freiburg, and Frankfurt. Does anyone have any tips on must-see sights, pre-match bars, pubs/areas to aim for on a night out, etc? Was over for Stuttgart v Hertha in January, there wasn't a lot there but it has a zoo and a couple of car museums (Mercedes and Porsche) if you're into that, The stadium is also very nice but more from the inside than the outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Early December I'm going over to Germany for 2 games: Friday 7/12 Werder Bremen v Fortuna Düsseldorf & the next day Schalke '04 v Borussia Dortmund. Got tickets for both, can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I believe the away end is lower tier with no covering, so expect 90 minutes of trying to avoid shit being thrown. Hopefully not literally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a decent bunch - he can usually get away end tickets for the big games through family still there so we went to see them get hammered by Dortmund under Klopp - so it should be a decent day out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Aiming for the Düsseldorf game and the Bochum game on the 6th/7th Oct. Any advice on where best to sit for a bit of atmosphere or any tips in general will be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any tips on must-see sights, pre-match bars, pubs/areas to aim for on a night out, etc?Right, have asked my mate about Freiburg and he said this:Hi local brewery called Feierling, very central, has a beer garden and I think they serve food too. Nightlife I don't have many tips, too long ago, sorry. Other cool central pub is the "Schlappen", again I think they serve food for good value. Best beer is "Rothaus", signs are outside the pub, but local beers like Martinsbraeu or above Feierling are great too. If it's a nice day then you should hire bikes and cycle to the stadium - have you ever seen a bicycle traffic jam? Hope this helps a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely check those pubs out, and probably amuse myself about the word 'Schlappen' a fair amount if we end up there. I think biking to the game sounds fun too although not sure if the others in the group will agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 My extensive German vocabulary suggests that’s Rothaus means Redhouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few pubs and craft beer shops around where I live sell it. It's good stuff. Didn't realise it was from Freiburg.

Been there a couple of times and it’s always busy and a good night out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would absolutely agree with this having just watched this now having recorded it as I could not watch it earlier live. Could not ask for much more with 6 goals and a red card and other decent wasted chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yep, agreed with you both. I watched the match too and it was absolutely excellent, thoroughly entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Köln v Paderborn was great entertainment. 8 goals, 2 more disallowed and a red card. Sat near the away fans, made a great atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Disapointing to not get a point in Leipzig on Saturday. Plenty of possession, shots, corners etc. but no killer touch. And giving players like Timo Werner the space & opportunity is always going to get punished.And a photo from twitter. which translates as „take all our money, even with that we have something you can‘t buy“ for the benefit of the Franchise FC ‚fans‘. Next up a trip to Nürnberg. Time to get a win on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A little pic from Sunday.Also my messages aren't working on my mobile, German jag... I don't think I'll be available for the Leverkusen game in October unfortunately. [emoji20] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get a win on the board. I've been to the Zentralstadion (as it was called back then) in Leipzig. Quite a nice ground actually and Leipzig is a really nice city. I've been for a Liga Pokal final, a few years before RB Leipzig even existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
