Odd to see so many Leicester City flags at the Bochum game this evening (it was on BT Sport over here). After a quick google search there appears to be a small scale friendship between the supporters so presumably some had made the journey over this evening.

Anyway, I'm all set for my newly extended trip in a couple of weeks - flights, trains, tickets and accommodation all booked.

Fri 19th Feb - St Pauli v FSV Frankfurt
Sat - Hansa Rostock v Aue
Sun - Bielefeld v Paderborn then Hannover v Augsburg
Mon - Fortuna Düsseldorf v Nürnberg
Tue - Fly to Kiev from Dortmund
Wed - Kiev v City
Thu - Fly back to Dortmund (not quite early enough to get to Schalke sadly)

Now staying on until Sunday morning so...
Fri - Paderborn v RB Leipzig
Sat - Bremen v Darmstadt
Sun - Fly to London and watch City (hopefully) beat Liverpool in the Cup Final.

Rostock is my first venture into East Germany, so particularly looking forward to that. I'm ticking off 8 new grounds in all and I'll hopefully witness two City wins along the way. That will take me up to 16 out of the current 18 Bundesliga grounds with just Wolfsburg and Darmstadt to go, and also take me up to 30 different German grounds in total. I had booked to go to Kiev via Dortmund the day we drew them but didn't want to publicise it on this forum in case I had to try and sneak in the ground. Thankfully it wont come to that now. In case our German friends hadn't heard, Kiev are only charging £4.50 for a ticket which means German ticket prices are too expensive as well haha!

You lucky bugger! That looks an absolute belter of a trip, especially like the look of that Hansa game. I need to get over again, but can never do any dates that are decent for a few games.
 
There are actually a couple of clubs which have connections to English/British teams.

Bochum - Leicster
Gladbach - Liverpool
Frankfurt - Oldham
Hamburg - Glasgow
St. Pauli - Celtic

Thats the ones that come to my mind immediately, might be even more...

Going to the hockey match as well or did you cut this from your schedule? If yes where are you going?

At the St. Pauli match say hello to the members of "Senseless Crew" FSV Frankfurt. Its their "Ultras". Got huge respect for them, they are usually everywhere supporting the team. Not a lot of them, but they stick to their team since they exist, which is not exactly easy in a town like Frankfurt which is dominated by one team.

You've missed the most obvious one of all...

Schanzer - City ;)

I'm sure the others will be fine with it!

I couldn't find one that fit in with my schedule unfortunately but maybe I'm wrong. I thought I'd be able to get one in at Hannover, but they 'face-off' during the 2nd half of the Hannover v Augsburg game which is terrible planning by the Ice Hockey team - surely locals would want to go to both too!
 
Flying to Dusseldorf on April 8th, and hopefully watching Bochum on the Saturday lunchtime, and then Cologne-Leverkusen on the Sunday.
Can anyone explain, the sudden rise and rise of Hertha Berlin, as Germany is traditionally one of the few countries where teams from the capital, don't normally prosper.
