Suppose it's not relevant now (until we get Bayern in the group stage next season) but I've seen city fans get fined for not having train tickets from the airport to the city centre, trying to claim their match ticket covered the journey (the day before the game). Whether they actually believed that or were just trying to dodge the fine I'm not sure.

Are you allowed to you use an 1860 ticket?

Big weekend at both ends of the table. Frankfurt have Mainz tomorrow and Darmstadt next week. Big Derby games that will determine whether they stay up. Viel glück @Bembeltown

Expecting Hertha to get beat by Bayern. Hopefully Leverkusen and BMGB drop points this weekend too. I'd prefer Schalke and Hertha to qualify for top 4 - assuming City qualify too!

Does not have to do with being greedy because if it is offered it makes the tickets more expansive for everyone. It is nothing the club pays for.

It is a calculation and it is fine when it is a bargain fof a lot of people and not a big financial burden for many others. But if not many can profit from it and it costs too much for the ones that do not need it it does not make sense.
 
Just watched the Hamburg v Werber Bremen game and in the crowd was a half/half scarf - Manchester City / Hamburg 14-9-09 I think
 
Mathematically assured of Bundesliga football next season, and a great tifo to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot to boot! Not a bad weekend, at all.

Here is my educated guess for the outcome of the season

1. Bayern München (if Pep wins only one title, he is a clown)
2. VFL Wolfsburg ( if De Bruyne stays)
3. Bayer Leverkusen ( as always satisfied too early)
4. Borussia Dortmund (Tuchel must have some problems, at least i hope so)
5. Schalke 04 (if Draxler stays)
6. Borussia Mönchengladbach (Champions League will hurt them)
7. VfB Stuttgart (surprise team for me this season)
8. 1. FC Köln ( sadly they have a good management now)
9. Werder Bremen (middle of nowhere)
10. FSV Mainz 05 (the same)
11. FC Augsburg ( pay the price for Euro League)
12. 1899 Hoffenheim (don´t rate their coach very high)
13. Eintracht Frankfurt (never good, when a coach comes back for a second time)
14. Hannover 96 (Michael Frontzeck, first to be sacked)
15. Hertha BSC ( Pal Dardai, next to be sacked)
16. Hamburger SV (laughing stock)
17. FC Ingolstadt (unless Audi pays more)
18. SV Darmstadt (every fairy tale must come to an end)

Some interesting predictions in here ;)

You seriously think with the problems they have right now finding seats for those oversold season passes at discounted rates it is a good idea to include a free bus ride á la Dortmund? Greedy? From an EPL fan? Really? :)

If i remember right, there was a time, when the train and bus companies had big problems with football fans not buying tickets or with the costs of destroyed trams and busses. So they had to find new ways of transporting football fans. And so the idea was born, that the football clubs have contracts with the companies and pay in advance and then include a free travel in the match ticket. That become especially popular in the Rhine and Ruhr Region with so many clubs and where there is network of different transport companies cooperating. That you can have a free train ride from Düsseldorf to Dortmund has more to do with the organization of public transport in that region than with the clubs. It is different in other parts of germany.

Hertha was my biggest error. Some others were not so bad, especially the "ifs"

500 years purity laws for german beer. Some fans really know, what football is all about

Hertha was probably all of our biggest errors. I don't think anyone could see how well they'd do.

They look a good bunch of fans them, anyone know who it is? ;)
 
One more win for Bayern to win the title, boring. At least BVB made a better fist of it this season.
 
Hannover 96 now relegated. After 14 years. And in their 28th Bundesliga-Season. Not so long ago (2011) they had their best season ever and qualified for the Euro League. At least they have their derby with EIntracht Braunschweig (50 minutes from ground to ground) back.
 
Still alive! At least its not the clowns from Mainz sending us into almost certain relegation.

Great showing by their fans today bringing even less than Hoffenheim who are considered to have shit support. And this is what they call a derby...

When their manager got asked what he thinks about the massive away support he just said that they keep hearing that their fans feel uncomfortable coming to our ground at evening matches.

I mean its perfectly valid...its all dark and there is a forest nearby! Bunch of clowns!

Be a shame to see Werder go down.

Agree completely.
It only seems like yesterday, when I saw Werder outplay Barcelona, yet somehow lose 2-0 (Ronaldinho, and Deco, if I recall correctly) in the Champions League.
Actually,now I've checked, it was 2005, (the day after England reclaimed the Ashes)
Lovely ground as well, not dissimilar to Craven Cottage, or the City Ground, basking alongside the River Weser.

Then it must be. The thing is it makes no sense to increase demand (for tickets) for so little supply (of seats) by further discounting what is already one of the more affordable tickets in Europe. Try that in England. Sure Germany has different scenarios, specially in the Ruhr (I'm not walking into a discussion about Germany with a dude named Ruhr) but surely filling up that wall at the Signal Iduna Park requires just a few cents more than ten Euros a pop doesn't it?
 
Lots of stuff happening around the derby between Darmstadt and Frankfurt during the week.

As people might know we are not allowed any away fans in Darmstadt due to the events when they played at our ground. Now in order to prevent further riots and because police is afraid of Frankfurt fans coming to Darmstadt anyway even without tickets, we are officially banned from the whole town for 36 hours around Saturday which caused a huge uproar as this banning order is against the law.

Result was that a group of 70-90 Frankfurt fans went to watch Champions League in one of the Darmstadt main pubs yesterday evening. Well...you can imagine the rest of the night. ;)
 
It's very late, but never got posted in here but Hasenhuettl's leaving :(((( & It looks like Leverkusen want da Costa back.

Surely, with Jedvaj, he'd only be back-up. I realise Jedvaj has struggled with discipline and injury but he's a markedly better player than Danny.

In terms of manager, I'm too sure what to think. Well I am actually, Fick dich Leipzig. Just hope the club don't go and appoint someone like Felix Magath, Schaaf or Michael Fontzcek. Personally, I'm not sure who's available or who I'd want more importantly. Perhaps if Hecking gets the sack at Wolfsburg, he'd be a good appointment. He knows the area well (FCN connections) but I wonder if he's as pragmatic as RH. Would like to see the club look at Rene Weiler at Nurnberg; they play similar (ish) football to us, at the moment, and would be good for continuity. The most important thing is that we strengthen on this season, not forget the work Hasenhuettl has done, and stay in the Bundesliga next season!

Normally keep an eye out for Frankfurt results but been busy recently and only just seen how bad it is. At least it looks like all the other teams down at the bottom have to play each other and the game against Werder Bremen looks like it's going to be a huge game.

How do Eintracht feel about FSV?
I've seen two FSV away games this season, and their support was er..........more than a few taxis...., but less than a couple of coaches
