MalcolmW Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 If Dortmund win the final they will become top seed for next year's competition. This would push ManCity down to 19th or 20th on the list. So unless there are numerous upsets in the 3rd and 4th qualifying rounds City will be in Pot C. Again! Ha ha. Quote
AylesburyWhite Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Where are the Dortmund Boo Boys? Poor effort by the crowd. Quote
EyesRight Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 While it's far from perfect, I get the impression that the German FA worked with the fans when modernising the stadiums, trying to eliminate crowd trouble etc rather than the "put up or fuck off" over here. Bang on. And the fans seem to really appreciate it. Never seen a stadium so full so long after FT when there is nothing being presented. Well done ze Germans these last two days, hopefully it will give our FA a kick up the arse. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Late goal for Newport County. Grimsby beat them 3-0 four days ago. Oops. Quote
anewman Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 £96 for a season ticket at a german team and you get a complimentary beer upon entrance to the ground our atmosphere has been killed by stewards and police and knobhead supporters Quote

I fear the bubble has to burst before we can reinvent the matchday experience. Quote
L/H White Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I've just read that the polish lad was offered to blackburn for 5mil in 2010, but he couldn't get over due to the ash cloud He was also offered to spurs Quote

L/H White Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Anyway, can we stop praising Germans now? #2WorldWarsand1WorldCup Quote

I fear the bubble has to burst before we can reinvent the matchday experience. Some things I think just couldn't be replicated here, next to the away end is a mixed stand and outside both sets of supporters are encouraged to mix together to drink and socialise. Police and stewards seem to be pretty easy going too. Some clubs, ours included, seem to have realised that cheaper season tickets especially for young fans are the way to go at least. Quote

If had pretty much 50/50 split of bremen and dusseldorf fans on it all drinking and mingling together (there was a bar on it), not a bit of trouble and a great atmosphere. That was two bog average bottom half sides as well. Quote
anewman Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 i can see a big uproar against ticket prices and seating soon Quote
gonzo Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 i can see a big uproar against ticket prices and seating soon A mass boycott is the only thing that would do the trick. But as long as the middle class muppets queue up get in Old Trafford etc and wave their flags about that will never happen. Its all too late in this country if you ask me. Quote
Carlos Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I wonder if people watch the games in Das Flying Flute rather than actually go? Quote

Things will only change when crowds slip and the money starts going elsewhere, like you say there are now to many middle class people watching the top clubs, and that's all the FA care about the top clubs.

Considering it will be 3-4 times that at most high end premier league grounds. Don't think anyone does actually think all German grounds are 2 bob to get in,they are just a hell of a lot cheaper than ours. The clubs don't give a flying fuck....that's the problem. Quote

The tickets are similar to UK. I paid 54 euro to be sat in the gods for the hamburg Bremen game. The posh seats are dear too. Plus German football is pants Quote
smithills_gent Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Mourinho's not quite as good as he thinks he is.It wouldn't surprise me if he gets sacked again. Quote
