    Bundesliga 2

    Might be on my own here, and mods please delete if so.

    Opening weekend. HSV beat Schalke 5-3. St. Pauli win away at 1 FCK. Hertha continue their losing streak

    I’d be interested in this thread if it continued throughout the season - for a start, I’d find out who or what a 1 FCK is

    Think this is a very rare case where a thread on here should be moved to the main board mind.

      Kaiserslautern Bob. I called them that because someone replied to an earlier post about German football on here saying they were a big 1 FCK fan. Had to look it up myself.

      I think this league will be massive this year.

            Have been over to see some German football (and keep meaning to again) and went to watch Kaiserslautern. Not much of a town but with a massive football ground on a hill. They were outplayed by Freiburg and at the end there was a kind of epilogue where the victors celebrated with their fans (including one of the players climbing the fence and shouting through a loudhailer) and the home team having to stand before their version of the Canton Stand possibly getting told off (I couldn't work it out). Sometimes a player will have to go and explain themselves. Incredible scenes.

              Be interesting to compare that to our own 2nd level average this weekend. Thing is there are 7 teams at b2 level this year that have ground capacities of around 50k or higher!

                I hadn’t realised (until I looked just now!) how big their ground is. 50k!. Yeah I’ve seen that strange ritual between a losing team and their fans as well. Maybe something from Italian football?

                  Kasierslautern are an interesting club I think. Huge ground, massive support and hosted world cup games in 2006, but I don't think it's a big place at all. So perhaps comparable to Sunderland or Burnley or something (though a little bigger than Burnley).

                    A few years ago, I flew over to Cologne and watched Duisburg on the Saturday afternoon in Bundesliga 2 and went straight from that game and by train to see Venlo in the Dutch Eredivisie. Stayed in Venlo overnight, travelled by train to watch Gladbach at home on the Sunday afternoon and went straight from there by train to see Düsseldorf's home ice hockey game.

                      That set me thinking that it must be possible to watch three games in different countries on the same day in some parts of Europe (e.g. around Luxembourg)

                        Why is this on the alt forum when weve got the main board spammed with threads like just stop oil.?

                          Hard to beat TBG's example, but - not sure about a day, but you could comfortably do Basel, Strasbourg and Freiburg and take in top level football in 3 countries in a weekend!.

                            You are assuming that all three games will be at home on the same weekend, old fruit

                              I think 3 games in 3 countries on the same day would be difficult but visiting 4 top tier clubs from 4 different countries could be possible by driving fewer than 140 miles between the first and last of them:

                              FC Wiltz 71 (Luxembourg National League - and the most northerly team in that league)
                              Fortuna Sittard (Netherlands Eredivisie - the most southerly team in NL)
                              Eupen (Belgian Pro League - the most easterly team in BE)
                              Borrusia Mönchengladbach (Germany - and the nearest DE team to the above 3)

                              Attaching images (in this case in the form of a route I created) seems not to work lately.

                              This is not a million miles from some plans I had been thinking about.....
