@Piethagoram , that's great, hope they made you feel welcome. It wasn't exactly busy, a far cry from a league match, but still. It gives you an idea of the friendly co-existence with the small local clubs. It would be great to see the Pies come over again for a match.

Very happy to be of help. To answer your question, I am a foot soldier of the other lot in town (VfB 1893). But I don't mind the Kickers and I take in the odd game. I am an old codger, like the chaps that watched the Magpies/Forest or Sunderland/Newcastle, City/United, etc. in the 1950s., for the sake of the beautiful game. But definitely no half/half scarves, that's obviously a total no-no! ✋️🫣

German football fan, coming in peace. A well done, Sir, that's a cracking write up on the impending matches over in Germany. I tip my hat, @DangerousSausage 👍 A good option for drinks ynd scran prior to Kickers matches are the club houses of the small, local football clubs, e.g. SF Stuttgart (literally "friends of sports"), only a goal kick away from the Kickers ground. There's a few of them, just have a stab at GoogleMaps (e.g. 11'er Sportfreunde Stuttgart https://share.google/Mrph6qR4htdJNI5zr Also popular is "Paule" (an immobile mobile stall, literally a minutes walk from the turnstiles, an institution for the regulars. You can sink your teeth into a Rote Wurst and/or sink another beer and cheer on the Magpies inside the stadium a minute later. The "Waldauerle" is good for local, Swabian pizza (and beer and wine), approx. a 5 minutes stroll from the ground. Enjoy the trip and match, Mags ✊️🍺👍
