Here already. Irritatingly a number of African kids with Chelsea shirts around the Old Port. Good bit of advice, airport shuttle bus very efficient. Turn left leaving the airport to bus station, ticket machine card only. 10 Euro into town direct to rail station.
I am Schalke fan and enjoyed an unexpectedly chilled morning in the City, but I also travel away with them and policing can be firm. Sadly it needs to be.
Schalke v Dortmund last year was interesting. For Dortmund fans there were two ways to the game. Bus from their stadium to a holding pen outside the stadium. If they wanted to come by train this was permitted but they had to use one specific exit. Again they then had to wait for supervised...
Thread of the year. Thank you.

Sadly now The Blue Brazil are non league so thus qualify for this debate, as of course do the whole of the Lowland and Highland league. So a 21 hour day return to the Moo Camp for a 2-2 draw against Civil Service Strollers. (Thanks to National Express for their overnight Gatwick Worthing service...

The only private health contract I have. Started to have problems recently so upgraded last year to Denplan top tier. (£50 per month). As I suspected I now need a crown fitted and repairs to root canal. Three hours of treatment covered, all I pay is the crown itself. I can usually see my dentist...
Did HSV v Schalke some years ago. A Schalke win would have sent them down. Passionate doesn’t cover it. We bottled it, HSV stayed up, only to get relegated the following year.
