That’s a shame if the case, done it in 2017 & it was a superb tour for all ages.I've seen alot of recent reviews on TripAdvisor with folk saying the Real Madrid stadium tour is a waste of money at the moment.

Try for either of the curve. Good views and the cheapest. Distinti has the best views but can be pricey.Heading to Bologna next week to take in their game against Udinese - any tips on best part of the stadium to get tickets for would be much appreciated!
Just got back late last night from my trip. BFC were so far ahead in the game but last 15 minutes they let Erfurt in and the home crowd was not happy. Babelsberg were completely outplayed, Cottbus should go up I'd think now. Although I think they've still to play BFC. The atmosphere in Potsdam was cracking, like an old-school British game used to be, with both sets of fans giving it to each other.Can’t believe Dynamo flogged that at 2up. That match on Sunday will probably have Police overkill but what a big one it is even more now.
That sounds brilliant! Hopeful of going to some lower league German games at some point too. Do you have any pictures of the stadium etc that you took?Just got back late last night from my trip.

I went to see Hertha Zehlendorf on the Saturday, they won 7-1, nice wee club. Good fans, and a good wee social club as well for a pint.

Would love to make it back for the last weekend of the season but can't do it, so it'll be next year for me. Regionalliga Nordost is just brilliant.
I'm quite lucky when it comes to Chemie tickets as my mate supports them. I've not been to one yet but I think I'll schedule a trip for next year around one. It's a proper derby match in my eyes. I'd rather do one at the Bruno though. As tidy as it is, the Sportpark is just too small for it.It’s a great league. Noticed Leipzig Derby tickets were on sale last week, was surprised you could get one in general sale easy enough. Always think it’s a very underrated Derby.

It really is. It's funny the Chemie fans believe they're the "people's" club of the city due to how much the fans basically built the club back up, and they actually did finance one of the stands. Like you, I've only had a look around the Lok stadium but there's something a bit special about old Eastern bloc football grounds. That's why I love the Sportforum in Berlin so much.Been for a look around the Lok one, quite interesting getting tram back up to ZentralStadion when RB are at home and seeing the contrast in things. One of the most interesting Football cities in Europe.

I do fancy Dresden. My aim is to get around most of the grounds in the league.Bit like going back in time some of the places that way, Zwickau was an experience and Dynamo Dresden is an eye opener.

I did and the first thing that struck me was "this is money"Did you take a wander around Zehlendorf? It has some of the maddest houses in Berlin — the "Bonzen" (or bigwigs), it's where the proper rich live.
Maybe going a bit off piste, but Onkle Toms Hutte nearby is one of the best/most underrated sights to see if you're in Berlin and enjoy you're architecture. It's basically a housing estate imagined by the Bauhaus. Incredible to walk through in summer:
Alternative sightseeing in Berlin: A little known Bauhaus estate by Bruno Taut
It's one of Berlin's most impressive modernist housing estates, yet few realise it even exists. Welcome to the colourful, clean-lined world of the Waldsiedlung Onkel Toms Hüttewww.secretcitytravel.com

I was staying in and an around Charlottenburg so quite close by.
I did take my first stroll along Prenzlauer Berg as well. I did the Kulturbrauerei as they had a Heavy Metal in the DDR exhibit on.
I went to the Mommsenstadion a couple of months ago and they let me in for a look aroundHaha, yeah, Prenzlauer Berg is... I still love it but it's now yuppie to the point it's almost a parody. You literally hear more American accents here than you would in Brooklyn. I moved from Neukolln about 5 years ago and while I'm glad to be away from the madness of there, you do miss the "proper" grungy Berlin side of it.
Class you went to the football, though. Tennis Borussia is the only one I've went to watch consistently... not sure they'd be FF's cup of tea, haha.
Doesn't look as though they'll get promoted, but I'm hoping to get to a Dresden game next season.Bit like going back in time some of the places that way, Zwickau was an experience and Dynamo Dresden is an eye opener.
HSV v St Pauli next week for me now, £42 return flights, back in time for the Rangers match on Sunday.

Can you post some more info...I'm hoping it was an eye opener in a good way?
Wow, sounds a bit intimidating, but good!! Cheers for the infoMainly referring to K Block there, which is their Ultras end. They basically run the end to a degree, you can see people being thrown out for not singing, told to cover up certain colours, arguments going on over not supporting enough. There is a bar in it which opens right out on to the terrace, bar is full of memorabilia - it’s excellent. Be wary if you go in as an outsider, you’ll be alright just don’t go bang in the middle of the terrace would be my advice if you go in K Block, don’t take photos and don’t go in a large group.

Just reading up on it...interesting, I like the rules, especially on cell phones.It’s worth experiencing mate. All ages and sexes in there but the middle part is the hardcore.

Went a few years ago after Rangers played Leipzig. Wasn't it in K-block but wandered around their ultras section pre match. Concourse etc was amazing. Think I've got pictures on another thread on here somewhere. One of my favourite German grounds. They create some atmosphere!
Had a ticket for ultras section at Magdeburg in Feb. Was taking a few pics in Concourse pre match and got told by some ultras that section wasn't for tourist. Just moved a few standing blocks along nearer corner flag and had no issues.
I was there last April for the derby and tickets were pretty easy, I think it was down to ticket prices more than anything.On my bucket list to do that derby some day. Tickets easier than normal next week due to the league situation?
Posted this in the Bundesliga thread last night. Grim times for HSV
