Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

[cptaidan88]

No city match in germany this summer?

Not as it stands. Not much space in the calendar looking at things.

Hoping for the annual trip over in the Champions League though. I feel like Ive seen enough of Munich for a while so Leverkusen ideally as we've not been there yet.

We'll be over in June for Berlin anyway :)

living in Berlin i really would appreciate the place full of city fans :-)
Leverkusen as a club and ground is a bit boring, but 30 minutes away from Düsseldorf or Cologne it should be a great trip

Good curtain raiser for Leipzig, playing at home Infront of about 10 people all with Red Bull in hand..

What connection do the Südkurve have with Bochum. I always see the Bochum flag in with them.

 

[Ruhr]

Bayern and Bochum fans had a friendship in the 1980s. Not very alive anymore, but seems it had survived with some fans.

Think the new thing (well not really new, but replacing Bochum) is Ultras St. Pauli....Their banner can be seen both home and away quite often as well.

Guess the reason is that Schickeria/Südkurve consider themself left wing as well, so its the perfect match up with the ticks.

They will ride into the sunset together, waving gay pride flags, chanting anti racist songs and show their women´s rights banners. :)

Its all about football in the end.....

I'm planning on going to the Bayern vs HSV match next season in February. What would be the best way of getting tickets, as I'm a member of the UK Fanclub. But to stand the best chance should I apply when everyone does or have I missed that date?

I honestly have no idea how the ticketing for Bayern works and if you have a better chance of getting tickets as a member of a fanclub.

At least for the normal daytripper it seems to be almost impossible to get tickets. I would assume the best would be to just give them a call and ask for the details. Or drop them a mail at least....

They got english speaking people in their offices, so you will be fine both on the phone and via mail in English.

In worst case drop Bayern Blade a PM, he is one of the few (couldnt resist) matchgoing bayer fans and I am pretty sure he can help you out as well.

Schalke with a good piece of business selling Szalai for £6 million to Hoffenheim and getting Choupo Moting in on a free. With Sidney Sam coming in, and if they can keep hold of a few players, with good management Schalke could actually challenge Dortmund and Bayern this year. Highly unlikely with Keller in charge though.

Levurkusen look to be assembling a decent team, with Calhanoglu and Roger Schmidt being recent arrivals. Again if they can keep hold of Bender they have a decent chance of a high place finish.

Wolfsburg are a team that excite me, however with Leverkusen and Schalke somewhat strengthening it looks as if they wont be getting back to the Champions League soon. Isn't Gustavo being linked to someone?

New times for Stuttgart as Armin Veh returns, what do we think will happen there? And will HSV be back with the newly signed Lasogga leading the line?

Still early, but it's shaping up to be an interesting season next year.
