That's a good read. Watching football in Germany is everything we should be aiming for.
Imagine a beer seller with a back-pack moving through the crowd here! We can't even drink bottled beer in our own stadium with no away fans and without a game being played without dozens of idiots throwing bottles!

Never mind that watching football in Germany is all that we ask for. I'd settle just for the getting there.  It was amazing. Not a single employee, walking around, on any station I visited. Yes that means that there were no barriers at stations, free trips on public transport for all who produced a match ticket and trains not only running but on time. The downside is that I'd never recover from the shock. |

i went to see FC koln vs 1860 munich while i was over there. koln play in one of the world cup grounds, there was a 46000 crowd for a second division match. good atmosphere, especially from their terrace, you can drink during the game (nice kolsch lager too  , it doesn't take long to get served (although they did have this annoying system where you had to load up an electronic card to purchase food and drink with), and their hot dogs knock lumps out of a rollover. shame there wasn't a goal in that game, i wanted to see the place erupt (not to mention the back of the net). went to a pub in centre of cologne later in the evening and had a good sing song in german with the local fans - their signature tune was quite a cheesy eurovision song though. to be honest when you go to germany there are quite a lot of occasions where you wish britain was like that. On the down side i went out with some british blokes from the hostel the next night and we got turned away from one pub because one of teh lads was black and then the next pub we got surrounded by a bunch of meat head middle aged blokes who gave daggers until we left, so it's not quite utopia. |
