As mentioned a few pages back, planning a trip round the continent with my sons in October trying to take in as many games as possible and have my eye on the Schalke v Mainz game on the 22nd. Can any of the more experiences Bundesliga attendees confirm whether tickets are likely to be on general sale? Any advice much appreciated.
 
I think @Ruhr or one of the other helpful Schalke fans on here would be able to advise you better than me on getting tickets.

One thing I would say is that the game will 100% be moved to the Sunday as both Schalke and Mainz are in the Europa league on the Thursday before. Sorry if that messes your plans up. The German fixtures are only confirmed up to the end of September at the minute.

Even if the tickets dont go on general sale( which I can not say for sure at the moment) you can check at the Schalke "Ticketboerse"
http://www.s04-ticketboerse.de/fansale/?language=en

Tickets sold at Face value from Fans to Fans a few weeks prior to the match
You have to register there first

Thanks everyone for the help (I do love this forum). Europa League rearrangements means I'll probably need another fixture so I will no doubt be back for more advice!
 
1860 seem to be putting together a decent side. Ivica Olic signed already along with two others, and sounds like Aigner is going back from Frankfurt too. I'd imagine they would both do well at that level. Have you signed a replacement @Bembeltown?

Should be an interesting season. I'm getting itchy feet to go back but nothing booked just yet.
 
I havent followed 1860´s transfers to be honest, but if they get Aigner it would definitely be a good signing. I personally would have kept him. His last season was pretty hit and miss but it was the same for basically every other player. If he leaves I would assume that Castaignos might play on the wing but not sure...

So far the only thing I am happy with is our coach as he leaves a very good and grounded impression. We seem to have a lot of promising and young players in the squad, but I am afraid that our season will be either really great or a total disaster due to so many players having to adjust to another country/league.

Seems like the wrong club in Manchester will become our feeder club in the near future...Just signed Varela from them. ;)
 
While we are at it and as League 3 is about to start:

I presume you’ll be staying around the Dusseldorf/Dortmund region.

Leverkusen v Hoffenheim might be your best bet, as a train journey from Dusseldorf to Leverkusen is like Manchester to Stockport. The stadium is a fifteen minute stroll through a country park.

Also, Leverkusen rarely sell out so obtaining tickets is a piece of cake.

However, keep your eye on Fortuna Dusseldorf v Arminia Bielefeld in the 2nd Division.
You can buy tickets from the main tourist information centre, opposite the hauptbahnhof.
The stadium is about 20 minutes on the tram, or 10 minutes in a taxi

A little bit of trivia
What distinction do the following footballers share?


Wolfgang Overath
Franz Beckenbauer
Sepp Maier
Miroslav Klose
Franco Baresi

Maier once was a woman - the others weren't?
Klose loves to go fishing fishes.
Whereas Beckenbauer was famous for fishing for some other species especially at Bayern's Xmas parties...

----

So what is it? It cannot be clubs or positions - not even countries they played in. Some started early - some late. Different number of kids - other hobbies - different numbers of wives.

What they have in common is that all of them were World Champions.

The answer is certainly World Cup related. bur as far as I'm aware they're the only players.
 
Stuttgart had their first match in the second BuLi yesterday evening against St.Pauli.

Sold out ground with 60000 and they started the season with the traditional "Karawane Canstatt"



If you watch it with earphones turn the volume down. Megaphone is pretty loud.

A couple of hundred of us outsang them last year in the pre-season game (losing 4-0 at half time).

Not true about outsinging them, really.

Great day.
 
To be honest the preseason games are not really a good measurement anyway as the Ultras usually don't show up to the games or dont start any organized support.

In my opinion Stuttgart one of the better grounds for a decent atmosphere, but thats just my two cents. :)

Okay, I'll be a little more specific.
I've been to Stuttgart twice, and on both occasions, I've drank in the Palm Beach Sports Bar, next to the stadium before the game.
Name me a bar in Germany (nay northern Europe), (nay, nay, the whole of Europe), (nay, nay, nay, the World), with more attractive barmaids, in matching white tee shirts and red shorts?
