1320Lichtie Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Was a cracking game and our seats were in the Stretford End so the atmosphere was pretty good as well. We were pretty high up, but still had an excellent view. Took a couple of photos near the start while it was still 0-0, obviously got a wee bit rowdier after Man U scored. Really glad we got the tickets, was one hell of a weekend.ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1456763115.325889.jpg ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1456763009.653698.jpg OTs a great stadium, perfect mix of being really quite modern but still with plenty of character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not sure that I should add to this thread now as I watch Aarau on a regular enough basis that I can't say the matches are random. Anyway, away to Schaffhausen on Sunday. Another 3 points will likely move them to 4th in the league, which isn't bad considering it's only 2 games since they were bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Being a Blackburn fan I would obviously say that but more for the drinking den options than the actual game Although you get a really good view of the game from practically anywhere in the ground. £1.99 a pint in the town centre although about £3 nearer the ground. Only been to Blackburn and Preston in that area so can't really judge anywhere else. All the other sides in L1/2 from that area seem to be having pretty poor seasons except Accrington so they might be worth a shot. Go to Burnley. They are playing some good stuff at present and look to be heading for promotion. I think I'm going to see them play against Blackburn tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 http://www.nwcfl.com/fixtures.php The next level down is nearer junior or LL standard. Still some worth a visit though. I live in Padiham and go to some of the games. They got relegated to this league last year and aren't fairing too well this time round either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Finding out that all those diddy no-mark towns like Rochdale have their own, even diddier town rivals in the depths of the pyramid is always an eye-opener. Two teams fighting it out to be the best in Runcorn really tops the bald men and a comb analogy. It's like when you first discover that Forfar sustains more than just one laughable pub team in the village at the same time. Truly bizarre. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbermoresaint Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Paderborn v Greuther Furth in Bundesliga 2 yesterday. An enjoyable 1-1 draw in front of just under 8,000. Paderborn dominated and scored early on but never looked sound at the back so no-one was surprised when Furth got a late equaliser. 37 euros for a seat and 2.50 for a bratwurst. The ground's miles from the station but they put on a ton of shuttle buses. A newish stadium with seats on both sides and standing behind each goal. Cramped and cheaply built. Who still builds stands with pillars blocking the view? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got relegated to this league last year and aren't fairing too well this time round either.I should get to some NW non league games next season. In the meantime I've got a Northern League extravaganza of 3 games in as many nights in a couple of weeks, then City v WBA next month. That was a present and it's a 5.30 ko, I might try to squeeze in Abbey Hey at 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 3-1 and have moved up to the heady heights of 5th in the league. 7 games undefeated in the league, and scored 3 in a league game for the first time in around 2 and a half years. Shame they were absolutely rotten in the first half of the season and have no chance of challenging for promotion. Possibly the coldest I have ever been at a game of football yesterday. It was absolutely fucking freezing up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Paderborn v Greuther Furth in Bundesliga 2 yesterday. An enjoyable 1-1 draw in front of just under 8,000. Paderborn dominated and scored early on but never looked sound at the back so no-one was surprised when Furth got a late equaliser. 37 euros for a seat and 2.50 for a bratwurst. €37 seems quite a lot for a BL.2 game. Fortuna Düsseldorf was €12 in the stand or €15 seating, and Union Berlin was €12 in the away end. I guess they were relegated last season so using Bundesliga prices still but it's possible they're going to get relegated again this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor1874 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Going to Germany again next month for Schalke vs Dortmund and again in May for Schalke vs Augsburg. Getting to the point that it's not really random anymore I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbermoresaint Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 37 euros at Paderborn was a lot but not as much as 39 at Bochum. Can't remember what we paid at Dusseldorf but think it was 35ish. These are all for seats along the side. I daresay there are other cheaper seats and standing would be even cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Assuming we won't get Liverpool tickets , I might look into the city PSG game. They don't tend to sell out and should be a decent game. Enjoyed my last trip there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
