20th July - Stadion an der Kreuzeiche, Reutlingen, Germany

Here's some pics of the above stadium - here

If SSV Reutlingen are in it I presume we would play them on the 20th July... as it is in Reutlingen ?

[SuperStella]

I do fancy going for at least the 1st game on the 17th. Maybe fly out the Friday (16th) and come back Sunday (18th) ?

Just had a look on web and found a flight for £62.98. This goes Friday, returns Sunday

Or,

I found one (on same site), going Friday, back Monday for £55.98

May even go for all the games...

p.s. that ground looks seriously familiar to Bray Wanderers ground in Eire.

[Manchester Blue]

We're just going for second game or two I think on the same day. It looks like Reutlingen is about 30 minutes on the train from Stuttgart which would make it a good base. We got flights going Monday coming back Wednesday for £40 each.

Cheers for the info by the way Lee.

[SuperStella]

Which site did you get them prices?

[Ste B]

Ulm is 60 miles from Stuttgart. (although there are 3 other ulms around there too)

Reutlingen is 11 miles, so its only a taxi ride

Bowfinger appears to be a Steve Martin film

Bopfingen is 102km away

All sounds great to me.

Mods can you create a section for us who are going out there so that we can arrange things, ie where to get lashed and so forth and hotels.

Seems like there are only 7 Hotels in Ulm and that is the cheapest.

Take that as a no

Sorry J, missed that post.

What's wrong with this thread. We had a private thread for Turkey as we didn't want those not going trying to hijacking it and turning it into a political/hoolie debate, but I can't see that for a pre-season in Germany.

Two germans and one premiership club to face rovers in Germany

Two germans and one premiership club to face rovers in Germany

Would be fantastic if the above is true and would surely see a good following.

[Jordan]

Everything sounds correct apart from the prelimary qualifying aking place on the 21st near Nuremberg.

[Manchester Blue]

I may be wrong but my understanding of it is that both us and brum will be in separate qualifying tournaments. Dependant upon how you do will decide at what stage you come into the tournament on Friday.

I did wonder how they could guarantee we had a game on the Friday which was why i didn't book to come out then. Looks like you'll have Blues fans for company but at least it should be decent opposition for the finals.

TOUR DATES RELEASED

Two germans and one premiership club to face rovers in Germany

I talked to my counterpart at Birmingham City about this last week.

I don't think the two competitions are connected, but it could be that Birmingham are one of the teams that play in the tournament in Ulm, whilst Rovers are in Reutlingen.

The winners of each then play in the game at Ulm on Fri 23rd.

I've still no news on teams

Just been looking through this site and some really interesting stadiums on here. If you have time worth going throught the countrys and you can find stadiums which make the Dingledome look like the Ritz.
