Trip to Germany to watch fussball

[ivansneck]

A number of posters have indicated that they like german football. I'm happy to organise a trip for PON members next season to a Gladbach home game once their and Notts' fixtures come out in June/July.

Who would be interested, and what sort of budget would you be prepared/able to pay to cover transport, match ticket and accomodation?

I would be interested, Theres a Saturday 0700h flight from Birmingham to Dusseldorf, budget say 80 pounds but maybe cheaper way in advance. could allow people to book own accomodation, eg Ibis hotel, meininger  etc

I generally use the 2000 Friday night

I best get saving some pennies, as I would love to do this - including possibly seeing @super_pie wants to watch the game also.

It would be a good laugh. I suppose I'll have to roll on with my passport sooner than I expected.

That said, I would need advice on cost(s) - I've only been to France once, so Germany would be a new location. I'm sure @Joe Jones can manage PON whilst I'm away for it. haha

I'm up for this, it's not too far from me. No doubt once Deutsche Bahn has ripped me off, it'll cost more than your lots flights!!

Hah I'm coming along! I love Germany and I'd love to see a Bundesliga game. Anything to get the mind off this shambles of a club...

I'm up for this too! Obviously I won't need a flight, but I'd love to add a new ground to my collection. Providing Waldhof aren't playing Karlsruhe in the 3 Liga that day

Maybe @ivansneck has a better tip, but B&B Hotels are pretty decent, always close to public transport / sporting venues and are about as cheap as anything you'll find. The one in Mannheim doesn't have a bar, but it does have a beer dispensing machine! There's one in Mönchengladbach too: https://www.hotelbb.de/en/moenchengladbach

Good idea, it could be a laugh!

Good idea, I have no particular recommendations except to be central like this one is. I think each person needs to suit their own budget. When we pick a date I'll do a proper investigation!
