Bundesliga

Will need a huge effort to turn that score around. Read today that HSV's average home attendance is higher than Man City's and Liverpool's.

They’ve just said on commentary that it’s over 57,000 tonight

It's incredible isn't it. Fantastic attendances up and down Germany but HSV some of the best. Down the road, St Pauli average a couple hundred under 30,000. Definitely a city which loves it's football!

I suppose HSV benefit from having been one of the big clubs in German football for so long. Despite a few years hanging on in the Bundesliga and now five years in 2 Bundesliga, they’ve retained the numbers watching them.

Definitely. They aren't called Der Dino for nothing! Also big city, big catchment area. Was there in February, great city. Enjoy just wandering around the St Pauli and Altona parts of town, the Reeperbahn and the Fish Market.

Needed a goal early second half but they’ve conceded one. That should be that.

[claretburns]

Hamburg need a goal and quickly!

Can't complain.

I remember watching PU years ago. Non league if I remember rightly. About 1989/90 ish. Lived in elsen village for a couple of years. Loved paderborn.

[Pickles]

All over, if it wasn't already. Handbags after the goal.

[ClaretTony]

So close to a second just before half time but well and truly gone for HSV now.

[ClaretTony]

And another Stuttgart goal.

Gute Nacht HSV.

Astonishing scenes again after the game from the beaten home fans

Went to Hamburg last year spent time with St Pauli fans after their game, they referred to HSV as the establishment club and the posh boys whereas St Pauli are very much for the working class

That I don't know, I suppose that's how the Sheffield United fans used to describe Wednesday when I lived over there years ago. I've just had this rather weird interest in HSV since we played them in the European Cup when I was absolutely amazed as a child that we were playing against a team from Germany or West Germany as it was then. One day I will go to one of their games.

[colner]

I once did the ground tour at HSV,theres a special section in the museum dedicated to our match against them,i could even press a button and watch the goals. As impressive as the ground is,give me FC St Pauli as a club anyday

[KRBFC]

Hamburg, Schalke and Herta in the 2nd tier.

Arminia Bielefeld back to back relegations it looks like, 6-1 down on aggregate in the playoff atm.

The German fans are the best in the world and it’s not even close, real shame English fans are robbed blind for tickets.

The days of TuS Paderborn Neuhaus and the Regionalliga West and the Westfalen Pokal.

Presently watching Bielefeld being relegated to the 3 Liga Their 2nd consecutive relegation

This Friday St Pauli can seal promotion to the Bundesliga... With a victory in the Hamburg derby against HSV. Not quite winning the league like we did but what a way to do it!

[Dazzler]

Lived in elsen village for a couple of years. Loved paderborn.

Was the Musik Laden nightclub still going when you were living there?

I was stationed at Churchill Barracks, Lippstadt from 81-84. We used to go about once every month. What a fantastic place with a main dance floor & bar, a restaurant & a quiet pub/bar with pool tables.

I can't remember exactly where it was but I think it could have been between Elsen and Paderborn.

Don’t remember that particular bar dazzler… I was stationed in Alanbrooke barracks, and we headed off into town for drunken shenanigans at the Movie Star bar, the saage bunker (cider bunker) the black and white and the holzwurm just outside the camp gates.

I also believe it would be the first time St Pauli have ever finished higher than HSV! Praying it happens for them. Thoughts also with Hamburg Police on Friday night, they will have a busy evening either way

[St Austell Claret]

Hi ya Bobinho did you never venture to the Hollywood in Schloß Neuhaus or Savoy and the George in town all run by Zita? I was also stationed in Allenbrooke Barracks BFPO 16 for 5 years.

Eleven points ahead of HSV as it stands. Been top for much of the season, HSV currently sit outside the top three automatic spots.

Been to St Pauli a couple of times. The neighbourhood is class and the football good too. Atmosphere and general vibe is fantastic. The Millerntor is a great stadium too. It's what the Turf should be.

Yeah it's a brilliant stadium, I have been a few times myself and loved every minute. I have been to HSVs stadium as well for a derby game against Bremen, but it wasn't as enjoyable as the Millerntor. Never a dull minute spent in Hamburg

[Claret86]

Can anyone recommend any blogs/youtubers or their own experiences for travelling to German football?
I'm thinking of going one weekend in September and trying to get at least 2 games in. I understand the area around cologne is a hotbed for football teams.
Thought of possibly getting a game or two in around this area and then going to Berlin and getting on a hertha Berlin game due to their massive stadium. All this depends on the fixtures, obviously.
I've downloaded the bundesliga app and it posts links for each clubs ticketing site, has anyone tried this?
Cheers

Was at the Olympiastadion last Friday night for Hertha v Hannover. 60000 there for a 2nd division game and it was bouncing throughout until Hannover equalised in the 92nd minute. If you weren't watching the game, you might not realised either team had scored as the noise level doesn't change. Most excellent experience, great stadium.

Hamburg derby is live on YouTube. Kicked off about fifteen minutes ago.

I'm off to Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, they are playing against Nathan Tella's Leverkusen.

I'm in the Nord West Kurve, which is the fun bit. Got tickets through a mate who has a season ticket but he's away.

Like Quoon said, you wouldn't have a clue who is winning, as it's just noise constantly.

Video of Eintracht Here, it's long but great to watch.

I'm in Frankfurt nearly every month - and Eintracht have one of the best atmospheres in German football. If you're staying near the Hauptbhanhof, head to O'Reillys just over the road. Viel Spaß !

I live in Oberursel up in the Taunus about 15km north of Frankfurt, been here for just over a year, absolutely love it!

I've been to Eintracht a few times this season, I'm keeping an eye for a season ticket next year but they are like gold dust.

Happy to meet up at some point if you're over regularly.

Next over on the 24th May for the Toto Bayern Pokal final in Würzburg the following day. Not sure of exact plans yet but it's a good bet I'll stay in Frankfurt for the night and be in O'Reillys if you fancy a pint?

Tella in the starting lineup.

Tella in the starting lineup.

He ran the Eintracht left back completely ragged and was unlucky not to score.

Not the best scoreline but my lad loved it, so that's all that's important!
