Think it was Monchengladbach away?

Full time whistle went, out of the ground, buses waiting near the away end, straight to the train station, *2 trains waiting for City fans*, back in Dussledorf with-in 30-45 minutes. All free. Amazing.

Yes. Back in the Old Town of Dusseldorf and in the pub in less than an hour from the ground which is 25 miles away from Dusseldorf through a built-up urban area!

LSH Mercedes moved to a brand new showroom next to the M60, Junction 1.

You're probably right. We'll find out in the coming months or years if the site remains empty, and if the showroom is demolished?

As you say, it's a decent parcel of land directly opposite the Etihad Campus and fronting Ashton New Road.

Look how big the Collar site is. Ridiculous!

Think City bought it last year. A decent chunk of land and prime location.

It was always going to be on the cards when Mercedes build the biggest dealership in Europe in Stockport!

Probably nothing. but....

The Merc car and Smart car showroom next to the main Etihad Stadium/Campus entrance is now completely empty and closed. Merc went first. Smart has now gone. I wouldn't be surprised if City either buy or have bought the Site

Was part of the MMU plan to move to the campus

Bit of a tight squeeze on those trains mind

Bit of a tight squeeze on those trains mind

The worst train for crushing on Euro trips was the last train back to Aarhus from Aalborg after that penalty shoot-out. Some City fans were on the luggage racks. Not much social distancing and it was very noisy in the "quiet" carriage.

For me the bus to Hoffenheim stadium , that packed that if it had turned over I think you would moved !
Then the train back to Dusseldorf from the Hoffenheim or was Schalke ? Packed and didn't move for about 20mins ,the doors just kept closing and opening till we eventually set off .
