TheEnchanter Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Slightly unrelated but on the subject of anglo Italians I was in a bar in Catania when the 2018 world cup was on and England were playing. The whole bar, full of locals were all madly cheering for England and celebrating with us when we won the game. Spoke and drank with a lot of them who were ultras for Catania and some supported other teams like Roma. But the friendliness and banter and love for England and English football culture was great. As was ours for their culture! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Went to Feyenoord v Fortuna Sittard last Oct with a couple of Dutch friends - Rotterdam is good for a weekend and you can get to it on Eurostar too.De Kuip ground has a decent atmosphere,but you probably wont find any away fans for the big games there like Ajax as due to violence they decided to to allocate them tickets anymore same for Feyenoord fans at Ajax. A good magazine out each month which I've written articles for is called Football Weekends which gives plenty of ideas for trips to matches at home and abroad https://footballweekends.co.uk .They even do trips abroad if you fancy going with others - latest one is Krakow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Thanks for all the info fellas. Looks like we're going to Fankfurt. They've got a derby the weekend were going. If we can't get tickets, we're gonna try for Stuttgart and get a train there. Some great tips for future trips though, so thanks for all ypur advice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously looking for decent beer/pubs/nightlife, friendly locals, and a good chance of getting a ticket. Germany is looking the favourite at the moment, but if not, Spain, Italy or France. If anyone's had a good experience, please let me know. Cheers. We went to Cologne. Brilliant place to go and went to a match. Was a great but bizarre experience as they have a goat for the mascot and all sing to it. Surreal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely we'll get a ticket for their game, as it's their derby v Mainz, so might be going to Cologne on the train for their match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I went to a Polish game. Legia v Kielce. I was impressed to be honest because the ultras continually make noise that isn't reactive to what is going on during the game. I was sat near ultras when I went to watch Rangers and had a similar experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their trains are better than ours too, mind that's not hard. Also if you have a ticket for the match, you get free tram travel that drops you right outside the ground. Enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than our carp railway system. If possible book your tickets in advance on the Bahn website and you can get some really cheap 'Sparscheine' fares. Though they are for a specific train, like Advance fares here. https://www.bahn.com/en I've been to a Cologne game but it was about 20 years ago before the stadium was renovated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Dortmund (bought tickets on Viagogo), St Pauli (tickets outside the stadium) and Herta (never sell out) Cheers mate. How did you find Viagogo? We've got tickets for Stuttgart on the Sunday, but really struggling for tickets for Frankfurt on the Saturday. I've seen tickets on Viagogo for £63 standing up. Happy to pay that amount, but a couple of the lads have had bad experiences with Viagogo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
