Sauzee#4 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Was at Ajax v Breda last weekend.

Utterly Baltic so I had my first-ever gluhwein at a match. Followed shortly after by my second-ever.. Sounds like a decent game to have gone to, but you really should never have to put up with Glühwein. I don't care how cold it is, the stuff is fucking horrendous. Beer and Würst all the way... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanner Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 General question to folk that travel to the continent for matches from Central Scotland - what would you say the best trips are in terms of affordability/ availability of flights and easiness to get tickets, etc? Thinking Germany but would give anything a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of cheap, short flights to Brussels from where every Belgian ground is within two hours or so travel as are places like Lille and Eindhoven. Ticketing isn't much of an issue either. There are loads of cheap flights to Poland where they have lots of nice, large stadia from having hosted the Euros. A recent trip there cost me less in travel, accommodation, tickets, food & drink than an overnight stay in Dundee for the Thistle game a few weeks later. I wouldn't bother with Nordic football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Poland is an interesting one I hadn't considered and as you say cheap as chips. I was actually looking at Eindhoven earlier in the year but it seemed a hassle getting normal priced tickets because of the registration scheme they have. Ended up offering me some overpriced package which I declined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footys not great and you have to be wary of where you sit, being in with the ultras isn't a good idea-at best youll feel very uncomfortable, more likely youll be told to leave. Due to previous hooligan problems theyre very strict re ticket sales.ideally get your tickets long prior to the game,if you turn up with 5 mins to spare at a top division game you will miss kick off! you need your passport/id to buy them too. Gdansk in the north is handy for Lechia and Arka Gydnia next door, Krakow for Wisla&cracovia with the teams of Polands industrial belt-piast Gliwice,gornik zbreze,katowice are a short train ride to the west. Wroclaw is hand for slask,lech Poznan and zaglebie lubin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen football in Poland, but I was with the ultras at Besiktas a few years ago - not long after the Leeds' fans were stabbed in the same city - and was made to feel welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 First trip to the Saughton Enclosure last night. It's rather charming in its own way...There are signs of a wee stand or terrace being installed. Playing surface was nowhere near as dire/boggy as I had feared.LTHV 1 Kelty 0. Game settled by an excellent own goal, always pleasing to see an own goal which isn't a deflection, but rather is drilled home with gusto.Top marks for the pies, and the wee quirk I enjoyed was the half and half corner flags with the crests of both home teams playing there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find the Berlin fans? We got told to f**k off before even getting in the ground when we tried to go last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
