[Albion] Best European ground to visit for a game….

[HalfaSeatOn]

Bordeaux was best atmosphere

Wait til next year and just choose one of our Champions League games.

Leverkusen very easy to get tickets but not a patch on Koln, schalke, Dortmund for atmosphere.

Essen, Oberhausen, Bochum, Wuppertal, Aachen, Wattenscield all worthy of a visit when fixtures pan out too.

I’m off there in a few weeks and looking like Bielefeld v Karlsruhe Friday night, maybe Munster Saturday early game and then Aachen and some tier 6/7 after.

A couple of mates did Duisburg v Dresden last weekend . On the Saturday they visited Wuppertal see the ground etc ,they went to the club bar for a beer . Both got presented with this years away shirt ,a very nice gesture.

Went to Wuppertal and Dortmund stadium back in July when we were camping in Holland - only 1.5 hrs away. There is a tour of Signal Iduna park but we just walked in pitchside. Also got a lot of BHAFC/Veltman love wearing the Albion colours round the campsite. But I'd go for Hamburg, Koln or Berlin.

Any decent Bundesliga figure is some experience, really would recommend it. A lot of passion and beer!!

I saw Roma win a 5 goal thriller v Messina there many years ago. Totti got the winner. Was ok but these big stadiums aren't particularly atmospheric for 'ordinary' matches (same as San Siro, way too big for all but the biggest games). Advice for Stadio Olympic - ignore the touts and go to the box office first, my group got cheap face value tickets (13 euros) for the section next to the very lively cuerva sud from the office whilst our other group paid 50 euro for what turned out to be comps in the the equivalent of the East Upper with very little atmosphere. It's a bit of a trek out to it but go earlyy as the area around the stadium is quite impressive (I thought).

Class that but also unsurprising. German football fans are just class. There’s not the same levels of support we have below tier 3/4 but always found them to be friendly, knowledgable and bloody love a beer.

Duisburg is another I’ve done but large stadium only half full which is always a shame. Sure Dresden took a few mind

Went to Berlin few years ago, moved the game to a Friday night so we jumped on a train and took in a second game at Wolfsburg on the Saturday.

Train fare was pretty cheap if I remember and took about an hour and a half.

Last time on the Nordkurve at Schalke I found the occupants of the corp boxes above were taking great delight in passing down their free beer to the masses. Nice gesture.

Went to the Allianz Arena in Munich during the off season. Couldn't catch a game but the bar was open. Paulaner taps everywhere and Bratwurst stands literally every 50m on the concourse.

Hard to get your head around a stadium that's 3 times the size of The Amex.

Just book your flights to Düsseldorf/cologne now and plan the games around 10 weeks before when fixtures get announced.

You’ll get more than one of those for sure.

Some decent lower league matches that weekend too,

As I said in a previous post - teams like Essen, Oberhausen, Wuppertal, Aachen are absolute gems and all in the same region. They’ll also kick off at different times throughout the weekend. You should get 3 decent games in….and a lot of beer.

Try bounce this thread around mid/late feb and fixtures will start getting released.

Has anyone done a trip to Union Saint-Gilloise and has any advice? I couldn't see any tickets for sale on their website but that might be because it looks like you have to register. Have applied and am awaiting approval!
