Bundesliga 2018/19

Gladbach.?

I don’t think so. It looked like it could be a Norwich away kit. I didn’t recognise the badge.

I tried to go direct through Dortmund but they said we had to join the membership and even then we weren’t guaranteed to get tickets. We did the Augsburg game when they won 4-3 with the last kick of the game. You’re right, it was epic. So much so that I wrote this about it....

I’m attempting to get the same group that I went with to do a trip next year (I have to pay for my missus to go on a jolly 1st). I’d go pretty much anywhere and we did speak about doing more days and more games.

One thing you could help with - on the Friday night in Cologne, I saw a lad with a white top with green and yellow panels on it. I wanted to ask him what team it was but we were in the middle of a funny conversation. Who would you suggest this is?

That's strange. I simply went to the BVB ticket website and bought a ticket. Unless the policy has changed in a month. I just went to the site to check and the only Bundesliga games available are Bayern and Freiburg, both of which say currently no tickets available. Possibly because you were booking mulitple tickets? I don't know. Maybe I just got lucky?

Sorry I can't help you much with the shirt. I know 1. FC Koln have had green and yellow on away jerseys very infrequently in the past. Could have been a distant throwback? Not sure. I don't think the other two main Cologne teams have worn green or yellow in my memory.

Just read the article mate. Good stuff. Brought back memories of the post-game currywurst. So damn good. The more I travel around going to games (in Turkey at the moment), the more I realise just how shitty the fan experience is in the UK and I just get more jaded. Expensive tickets, travel and the price we pay for some truly awful food is horrendous. Not to mention the atmosphere of negativity we generally harbour. So the sentiments expressed in your article really hit home.

Thank you Sir. It was a truly incredible weekend.

Maybe the Dortmund thing was them trying to make money. I emailed them direct.

I have a look on the highlights on BT Sport and can’t say I’ve seen a ground that I wouldn’t love to visit. There’s even Hamburg, Köln, St Pauli and more in Bundesliga 2 that I know will be amazing. I had a look on Köln’s website earlier and tickets are 13 euros.

Bayern could only manage a draw at home, Dortmund won and Leipzig won at Hertha 3-0

Dortmund v Bayern next week.Lets see what Bayern are made of.

Was it like a cloverleaf badge ? There's a couple of 3rd, and below, teams with similar badges that play in green, but I can't find one that has green and yellow this season. I follow a third league side, who were Bundesliga and in Europe when I lived over there. There are lots of small regional teams, so it could be one of those even, the team I follow (Uerdingen) did a stint as low as 6th level.

Well I fucking hope Bayern lose every week for the rest of time.

Bayern is approaching full meltdown. They play Dortmund next weekend and the shit is still boiling behind the scenes.

Lisa Müller (Wife of Thomas Müller) posted on Instagram during the match with a photo of Kovac talking to Müller and the caption:
"Takes him (Kovac) 70 minutes to figure out the obvious (subbing Müller on).

Press immediately picked this up and confronted Kovac at the press conference with it and asked him what he thinks about this and he just smiled and replied "Nothing".

Feel honestly sorry for him that he has to endure this shit show at Bayern. He was not ready to coach Bayern, but he is made the scapegoat for literally everything including the lack of investment and the players who are past it.

Best player for Bayern was Gnabry which says a lot. The old guard does nothing but play shit and sulk. Müller is a shadow of its former self....

I've done two trips this season to see home games at Dortmund, Fortuna Dusseldorf, FC Koln (2. Bundesliga) and Schalke (CL) over the course of 5 days in September followed by Union Berlin (2. Bundesliga), RB Leipzig, Hertha (my team), Wolfsburg, Dynamo Dresden (2. Bundesliga), 1860 Munich (3. Liga), Dortmund again (CL) and Bayern. All over the course of 12 days in late Sept/Early October. I realise it's not easy for most to take the time off to do such things but if you can it's a great way to see new places. On the first trip I couldn't get a reasonable ticket to the Monchengladbach-Schalke (derby) game due to members only so went to Fortuna and on the second trip I couldn't get a ticket to Hamburg-St. Pauli so went to Dresden instead.

Dortmund atmosphere is a great place to start, if only we could get the Etihad rocking like that it would be truly unique in the English game.

Sounds like a good couple of trips. Hertha remains one of my favourites.

I'm going to Greuther Fürth in a few weeks (before we play Lyon) which will be my 37th different stadium that I've seen a game in Germany. Love the place. Normally try and get more than one game in like you but heading on to another country after that on this occasion. Dresden is high on my list to get to, but I'll be back before the end of the season. There is much more to German football than Bayern and Dortmund.

My mate runs this website German Football Grounds which might help you plan your trips in future. He is German, but thinks he is the 3rd person from German to have completed the 92 in England which is an impressive feat.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread but which ground was/isthe best you've been to?

You obviously get about so I'm expecting something like an Estonian second division ground ;)
