In Frankfurt from 11th-14th June and then down to Munich till 23rd June. I have tickets for: Aus v Japan in Kaiserslautern on 12th Togo v South Korea in Frankfurt on 13th Tunisa v Saudi Arabia in Munich on 14th Aus v Brazil in Munich on 18th Paraguay v Trinidad & Tobago in Kaiserslautern on 20th Serbia v Ivory Coast in Munich on 21st Aus v Croatia in Stuttgart on 22nd I've also managed to bag some extra tickets that I am looking to either swap or sell. I've got 1 ticket for the following games: Spain v Ukraine in Leipzig on 14th Czech Republic v Ghana in Cologne on 17th Spain v Tunisia in Stuttgart on 19th Ghana v USA in Nuremberg on 22nd (possibly taken by someone else now) Saudi Arabia v Spain in Kaiserslautern on 23rd The Spain games are cat 2 and the Ghana games are cat 3. PM me if you're interested. I'm don't want to make a fortune at Rovers fans' expense. I've just managed to get lucky with tickets and want to make sure Rovers fans are the beneficiaries.

No worries. Let me know if you bag another, and I'll see you in Stuttgart, if not before. PM me with an offer for the USA ticket though. I PM'ed a few yanks on the brfcs forum but didn't get much interest.

Do you want to swap for the Aus v Cro ticket that you've managed to bag? I've got a queue of Aussies who'd love to get to that game here! (as you can probably imagine!)

This game felt and looked like VE day against t'barcodes so many years ago. Very happy. Will bragg about being a Rovers fan to anyone who will listen and will make wearing my Rovers shirt at the World Cup even sweeter. Very disappointing gate though. Where were you all? I've got an excuse. I live 14000 miles away. Those stay-at-homes how watched the game on their sofas should take a long hard look at themselves, and should keep their mouth's shut if we can't buy who we really need this summer.

Lads, I've managed to bag a TST-5 for Ghana, but one of the games clashes with the Aus v Croatia game on 22nd June, so the Ghana v USA game is available. I don't want to use the resale process as I want to go to some of the other Ghana games (I reckon they will get through to 2nd round at least, and will be dark horses - no pun intended! - to go a long way in the cup) and I'd rather a fellow Rovers fan was at the game than some cashed up German. PM me if you are interested. The ticket is cat 3 so make me an offer if you're interested. We could meet up in either Frankfurt or Munich to give you the ticket, or I could post out to you before you head out to Germany. Less than 6 weeks to go......!! Cheers from steven

have you been drinking?

Thats crap. No excuse for having the wrong name though, unless you can't type! I'm still waiting for my TST-3 Spain, TST-5 Ghana, Korea v Togo, Tunisa v Saudi, Aus v Brazil, Aus v Croatia, Aus v Japan, Paraguay v T&T and Serbia v Ivory Coast tickets.

A premiership football is mostly full of fresh air, much like a premiership footballer

yes, i picked up TST5 for Ghana (includes USA, Italy, Czech Rep, Croatia (probably), and France (probably)) and TST3 for Spain for a couple of mates. very slow this morning though since then a bit like our defence last night. i can't believe that i got up at 5am to watch that!

Still waiting. Its a long way from Frankfurt to Sydney...

How have people gone with the resale process for tickets? Anyone picked up any gems? Also, anyone planning on being in Frankfurt from 11-14th June and Munich from 15th-23rd June and fancy meeting up for a few beers?

Yep, would be cool. PM me nearer the time and we can arrange something. PM me and I'll give you my contact details. I'll be the drunk one!!

I got Paraguay v T&T allocated through FIFA from my conditional ticket application. I'm also following a couple of Aus v Croatia tickets, but I think I'm going to get priced out of the market. I'm going to drink so much in Germany!!

Did anyone succeed in Phase 4? I stayed up from 10pm (when the tickets went on sale) to 1.30am before the site updated to German text and was all red, in other words all sold out. Does anyone know if there are going to be any more tickets released. Apparently there were some more released last night too? I'm looking for tickets to any games in Munich, and also any Australia games if you know anyone looking to offload any?!?!

We're out. Final score 2-1 Come on Wigan

Have you heard that the Brazil v Aus game was one of the most oversubscribed matches of the group stages? I guess there's lots of people who want to see the mighty Socceroos, and it also doesn't help the game being on a Saturday too.

I'm going to be in Germany too with another BRFC fan (Bristol Rovers unfortunately though!) I'm in the ballot for tickets and I've also got my hand in for conditional tickets but I'm not expecting too much success to be honest. Does anyone know the authenticity of online sites like www.euroteam.info and www.razorgator.com as they seem to have all tickets but just at very expensive prices. Oh, and can one of the mods pin this as I'm sure we're going to be discussing it more and more over the next few months and it would be good to use this discussion as a way of meeting up with a few Rovers whilst we're in Deuschland.

Agree completely. Legend is over the top and he isn't in the same class as Garner. He was a good player before the accident but never recaptured his best, understandably to be honest considering he nearly died!! He showed great bravery fighting back to fitness, but its time to move on.

Cheers stuwilky Lets hope we land Wigan in the semis

Can someone keep us up to date with penalty kicks? I'm watching on t'internet at work in Sydney with no access to commentary. Cheers!

I'm picking a Rovers win, by the odd goal in 3.

Rangers continue to go backwards with this signing, unless Celtic loose Petrov to Rovers. Poor Bazza.

He did like to showboat, but I think that given half a chance he'd be back here in a shot. He'd be a great replacement for when Tugay hangs up his boots (which surely has to be at the end of this season)

What about Keith Treacy? Wouldn't he be the obvious choice to step into MGP's shoes, at least for part of a game?

Blimey, I hadn't realised that the gates had got that bad at Rovers. Even Sydney FC are getting over 17000 per game!
