Fans heading for Bayern
12:52pm Tuesday 9th October 2007
Comments (117) Have your say »
Wanderers fans will have a dream trip to Bayern Munich's world-famous Allianz Arena in a Uefa Cup group game on November 8, it was confirmed this afternoon.
The four-times European champions and past winners of the competition will host thousands of Wanderers fans for the biggest game in our local club's history.
Unbeaten Bayern are five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga following a comfortable 3-0 victory against struggling FC Nürnberg at the weekend.
FC Braga from Portugal were the next team out of the hat in Group F, followed by Red Star Belgrade, when the draw was made in Switzerland this morning.
The draw as far as Wanderers were concerned was completed when Aris Thessalonki of Greece became the final team in the group.

Will definitely be catching both away games but the Crvena Zvezda game is the one not to miss! As blue said - they will definitely give us a warm welcome, and if anyone thinks the the atmosphere was 'heated' in Skopje wait until you get to the Marakana - once saw a local derby there (red star V partizan) it made an old firm game look like a teddy bears picnic!!

if you go to salzburg hauptbahnhof (main station) ask for a "bayern ticket" (bavaria ticket) should cost about 30euro and be valid for up to 4 people so works out at 7.50 each.journey time about 2 hours.
it's not a return it's just a one day ticket to travel anywhere in bavaria for the day and for some reason salzburg is classed as bavaria.
you can only get second class trains (ASK!!!) cause if you end up on an intercity (which i once did drunk, no amount of pleading ignorance will save you having to pay about 80 euros)
not bulling. i lived in bavaria 2001-2005. just wish i could go for this match.
could try nurnberg too (2 hours)- also see bayern ticket. or stuttgart (3 hours) but that's not in bavaria so the trains will be dearer.

i have watched celtic in munich in the champs league. well behaved hoops fans were able to get in the home end with no bother. unlikely to be a sellout - in fairness it's not an important match for them.
you can have lot of fun there. bayern fans will chant very loudly at you on the tube but i guarantee it won't be offensive-they just want to impress you by how deep their voices are.
the germans are well behaved, non-violent people (unlike many brits) and punch-ups are very much NOT a part of german life at all. they won't be looking for trouble.
you'll have a better chance of swapping scarves or other souvenirs than getting into a scrap so don't even think about it.
the only way you will p*iss them off is unfunny hitler impressions (germans think to make jokes about hitler is laughing at the millions of jews their grandparents murdered - they are happy they lost) or by dropping litter...not kidding either.
by the way when drinking if you want a litre glass of beer ask for "a mass" not "a stein"
. "stein" means "stone". also say "helles" not "lager" as lager is a cellar.
Macht viel Spass Jungs! (have loads of fun lads!)

How you getting to the match. I'm catching the ICE from Amsterdam Centraal at about 545 on the morning?
Whereabouts in Netherlands r u?
I'm in Almere (a city that is only about 30 years old and yes I do mean CITY!!!!)
Note: When visiting Amsterdam and don't want to miss a football match - nip to Satellite Sports afe on the Leidseplein in Amsterdam - can show up to 30 different sporting events at one time and simul cast most if not all prem matches at same time!!!!!!

Congratulations must go to Sam Allardyce who got us into the UEFA and to the players last Thursday who helped us to get through to the Group stages.
