German football

I’ve been to one game in Germany and very much recommend it.

Beers good, transport to the game included in the ticket, nice orderly exit afterwards. What’s not to like?!

The running water.

I can confirm there is running water and plentiful paper towels at the stadium of my local side.

Plus decent food and Bier, of course.

I had a gander on the Everton forum and was reading a thread on their proposed new stadium.
They’ve started selling packages for different season ticket options. Looks like the patrons will be paying through the nose for the upgrade from Goodison. They expect ST’s to start at £800 for adults and they seem to be aiming for extensive corporate packages ranging from £4.5-7.5k a season with a commitment for 3 years.
For that they get access to the bar for 3 hours pre match and then again at half time ( any drinks post game they have to pay for. )
Depending on which package they either get a food voucher or a 3 course meal.
Either way we need to expect a major hike in prices when we do upgrade our facilities.

They’ll be needing 3 hours at the bar once they get a taste of championship football for a few years

Just want to say a massive thanks to Strummer for recommending a lot of places in Koln to visit. We ended up on this stag do with Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig and it was absolutely incredible. The Germans are on another level for their passion and support which is totally different to what we have here in England. The beer, food and culture is fantastic. I would reccommend anyone who is possibly thinking about it, just jump and go for it. The 14 of us who traveled to watch "Die Fohlen" are now fans for life. We're going back again to watch Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg in November. Some pics from when we were there. Again, thanks Strummer for the recommendations!

I am glad you enjoyed it Josh!

Some cracking photos, and yes, I recognise a few of those places!

Typically 5/6 weeks ahead - but of course it’s going to be either Friday, Saturday or Sunday, either way.

It’s the match-weekend of May 3rd-5th, as yet, so I would guess mid-end of March-ish, the league will set the fixtures.

The way that Die Geißböcke have started the campaign, that might be a „must win“ for them!

I would suggest, that if you „do“ X/Twitter, follow @Bundesliga_EN on there, as the fixture announcements will be publicised (that’s the English-Language version).

Can’t see picture of the cathedral without being reminded of a comment one of my old American colleagues made to me whilst on a tour of kolns breweries / bars “how the f*** did we miss that!“
It is very impressive.
Glad you enjoyed it josh - Germans do football, beer and food very well.

The Dom is right across the street from the Köln central station, which itself was heavily bombed.

You literally cannot miss it; although somehow, the allies did!

By the way, the banner says:

„I’ll get a sick-note - I continue stealing one note after another“

(It’s one of many anti-DFB rants, from supporters who are critical of the ruling-body‘s seemingly endless appetite for cash, whilst ignoring the concerns of supporters).

Indeed they do. Very knowledgeable on footy also, had some good conversations at the game about Forest.
