Invasion of Germany

Glad im not flying today, not keen on turbulance

Well I'm up north but the weather is terrible atm, we were all sent home from work two hours early at our place due to extreme bad weather warnings, torrential rain, howling winds the lot.
The xmas market here is closed as are a few of the shops.

Looks like it could influence Bayern's match on Saturday as they are playing in Bremen. The river Weser in Bremen is expected to go up over 6m in the night - more than 5.5 m will be a problem and some parts of the stadium could get drowned. If that happens the match will get postphoned.

4 of us are driving monday, hope all the trees have fallen down by then! ferry might be fun though

I am not keen on flying at all. I am going through my normal pre flight routine, no sleep 7 days before. Can't wait to touch down on Sunday in Salzburg and enjoy the rest of my trip.

Driving home by the way...

Not many fresh numbers on this windy day. Still pushing to 600.

RUNNING TOTAL 591

Everyone is in the center near the train station as far as im aware... also from what others have said there is no bars around the stadium

Nothing at all near the stadium apart from a few crappy kiosks selling beer in plastic cups in the freezing cold. Stay in town until you set off to the game.
Head for Schwabing (underground stations "Giselastrasse" or "Münchener freiheit"), absolutely loads of bars, pubs and clubs.

Hi Bayern,
someone has mentioned Occomstrasse near Munchener freiheit to me saying there are plenty of bars and clubs. Was thinking of heading up there the afternoon of the game then back to the area again after the game, good idea or not ? Also what time will the bars be open until around this area after the game?

The security fund is running low, could you bung me an extra £59k the armoured limousine cost more than I thought.

Yes Occam strasse, Leopold strasse are the places to go for the nightlife. They should be open until the early hours but as it's Tuesday I'm not positive. It's where we used to go out on weekends in our ...ahem...younger years ! It's a bit quiet up there in the afternoons, Schwabing is an evening/night drinking area.

Anytime, glad to be of help. I hope you have a good time in Munich (apart from the match obviously !).

Yes we may well be fresher than City as Sky is reporting that it is very likely that the River Weser will rise 6 metres tonight, the stadium in Bremen is bang next to the river and the wall protecting it is only 5.5 metres high. This would mean the pitch would be under water and our game would be off.

Good to hear that, comrade

I'm there from Saturday onwards. Just mingling in with the locals.

Decked out in Lederhosen, with an "I Shot JR" sombrero and a copy of Pravda tucked under my armpit.
