@cptaidan88: We got so many problems that I honestly cant see us staying up. We still play Dortmund and Leverkusen. Coming weekend we need a win in Hoffenheim or we are screwed. If we manage a win against Hoffenheim we need to beat Darmstadt as well in the derby. We play them away from home and we are not allowed any fans at their ground, which doesnt make things easier.

Even if we somehow manage to play relegation against Nürnberg I doubt that we will stay up. Nürnberg has not lost in 17? games and are full of confidence, while we are exactly on the opposite end.

If we play them the atmosphere will be electric both in Nürnberg and in Frankfurt, but I am afraid as well that there will be violence. Both Nürnberg and us go a lot of dickheads and it will definitely kick off. Either because we go down or because they dont go up.

Enjoy Paris! Great place hope you have some good weather coming up. Sitting at Monmatre, sipping coffee, eating croissants and watching footie in the evening. Could be worse! ;)

I seem to recall attending a goalless draw between Eintracht and Nurnberg around March 2013. There were thousands of Nurnberg fans, and a buzzing atmosphere, that never quite went over the edge

Haha. I'd forgotten I posted that! From memory I think I stole it from a tweet, so can't claim responsibility for the poor translation!

Changing the subject from my poor attempt at the German language....

you've been caught years ago :-)

 
Just got home from the Cologne-Leverkusen fixture,and my first ever experience of non alcoholic lager.

Strange how even at City v United, you can drink alcohol, but not within viewing distance of the pitch.

In Germany you can drink alcohol at your seat, but not in the powderkeg fixtures.

The real paradox was that despite this being a local derby, there were still dozens of Leverkusen fans in the home end, without a hint of trouble. Compare that with the City-Everton 2nd leg.

Also, in Germany, the home supporters get frisked before the game. I can’t remember the last time that ever happened at City.


So similar, yet completely different.
 
Question for our German friends, or Scaring and Aidan as you'll probably know. If City get Bayern in the CL; we'd be looking at flying to Stuttgart. Where would the free travel cover from? The Munich metropolitan area, or Upper (I think Munich is Upper) Bavaria. As if it's the latter we would only have to buy train tickets to Ulm.

We did the reverse itinerary for the Stuttgart friendly. About 2 hours on the ICE train.
As far as I can recall from previous games at the Allianz, it only covered us for the inner city travel.

However, whenever we travel to Cologne games from Dusseldorf, we have to buy a ticket to Langenfeld (even though our train doesn't normally stop there). Our match ticket then covers the journey from Langenfeld to Cologne.
There might be a similar scenario between Stuttgart and Munich, although realistically, it's a longer journey.

There is no free travel with the match tickets for the Bayern matches. In difference to a lot of the other Bundesliga teams a lot of the Bayern fans come from a bigger distance so to include the metropolitan ticket into the match does not really make sense (it is a calculation model as it is not free for the clubs and when only a few of the fans need the ticket and all would have to pay it does not make much sense).

There is different possibilities to travel cheap in Germany - train or with busses. The busses from Stuttgart airport to Munich start at 9 EUR when bought online (24,50 EUR at the bus station) and take about 3 hours. ICE is faster but more expansive.

Greedy Bayern dont offer free travel.
Nothing to with the distance Fans travel to a match
