Football: Blackburn Rovers vs. Armenia Bielefeld

Don't ask me why, but Blackburn Rovers are playing a friendly against Armenia Bielefeld (a german team in the first Bundesliga) on Sunday 15th July at 6pm (not 7pm, as in the title!!!) in Heimstetten, which is on the S-Bahn. I will definitely be going, perhaps a few TTers would be interested in joining me?

I'm in Nürnberg, but would still be interested! Count me in please!

I hope Armenia Bielefeld win.

BTW this comes from a BURNLEY fan!!!

This might be a good laugh actually, i could be up for this.

I will be going oy yes as a stout Rovers fan.fozzy4u so you are the Burnley fan always wondered where it got too.Shame Accy Stanley are not over here either

Which clearly makes the comment null and void.

Directions for you all...

If you are coming from Town on the S-bahn... Exit at the front of the train and go throughthe under pass...

As you come out on the other side... Keep walking.. Down the One way street.. Follow it past the Church...Past subway and into the REZ.. Just keep going straight..

When you get to the Räter Hotel, Turn left and keep walking! Straight over 2 x roads and you come to the sports ground.

The food there is excellent! or if you want the Best Steak in Munich... IMHO "La Piazza" in the REZ is King!

Enjoy our village!!

G

Will you be joining us Grinner?

Quite possibly...

G. do you want to borrow a hat and scarf from Rovers?

been trying to find out what league Bielefeld are actually in its not the 1st or 2nd division.

Yes it is they're top flight, 1st Bundesliga

Hooray, long time no see!!

i might make the trip - just to see what mid table mediocrity will be like for Arsenal next season

Quite possibly more exciting than you think Lassie

Are tickets on sale or can one just purchase them at the gate?

What gate... We play on a field out here.. Jumpers for Goal posts!!!

Man , you got it easy I dun got George Bush , yeah you heard right , he want see me beatin´off...on the the web . you know! Bad man Eurovol or summit!.I don´know... Bad man.

Are you Pished Sea_king or this that one of the Craptic messages of yours!!

I really don´t know , I think I annoyed eurovol( easy thing to do) may have landed on the wrong thread, happens when one is sober and , bored.

YAY! I used to work up in Bielefeld for 6 years in the 90's and went to games at The Alm quite regularly. I've got the scarf, a couple of shirts and a deep hatred of Bayern München... so I guess that makes me an Armenia fan then.

Conveniently, I had also promised to take Sinette to a footie game, and with United having no chance of coming to Munich next season this might just be The One.

Anybody know prices and information?

Don't know the prices Sin, only have the information in the first post. Rovers play a friendly most summers in Germany - I watched them play a tournament in a stadium near Stuttgart a few summers back, and seem to recall entry being something like 12€. Other than that, 15th July (Sun), 6pm at the sports ground in Heimstetten.

We dont have a stadium..

And the bloke who usually collects the cash on the turnstyle is having his hair cut that afternoon...

I dont think there is an entrance fee.. I will ask tomorrow..

Just been reliably informed that my friend thinks its 10€...

OK, stadium was a bit of an exaggeration for the ground near Stuttgart too, automatic word for it but I think pitch and 1 seating area that xould loosly be termed as a stand would be more appropriate!!

Seating...

LMFAO!!

I ain't doing no flirting.

With relegation I mean...

oh fook - this is going to be like watching those Touch Rugby people isn't it?

do they serve beer in the tent by the side of the pitch?

Standing to watch a football match? The way it should be done? This is sounding more and more attractive.

a game involving an english side in Germany add beer and it'll end up as a punch up, I tip no beer in the ground. Still sounds like an interesting evening out.

There is a bar at the Ground as well... the food is quite good too!!

For the lazy ones ...

If you make sure yours is the train that arrives on the hour, there will be a bus that drops you close to the Ground.. It the Räterstr Stop!!

We only have 1 bus an hour on Sundays!!

G

That would be this one then:

16:32 ab Hauptbahnhof München S-Bahn S2
16:55 an Heimstetten
17:01 ab Heimstetten, Nord Regionalbus 263
17:04 an Heimstetten, Räterstraße

Genau!! innit !!

And then have an hour for beer and eats before the game? Sounds like a plan!

More info here!

You better be there now Kathie, me, the wife and the 2 girls will be there.Wife never been to a footie match and this will be the girls second outing watching Rovers.'Get into em' as we say at Ewood park.

Wild horses couldn't keep me away

OK, so this is on Sunday. I will be taking the S-Bahn Jeeves listed above. I don't have a monthly ticket or anything, so if anybody wants to meet at Hauptbahnhof, we could get a Partner Tageskarte between us. Please let me know, as I would buy the Tageskarte when I leave Aubing.

Kathie lass see you there.Me bro in law and a mate are going too.God i do not think that Bavaria is ready for this as the little un gets a bit wild at the footie match.Only 10 but well in to it.See ya there folks.Hope its better than a kick around at Edisford Bridge

Nothing is better than a kick around at Edisford Bridge, unless it's a game of pitch and put. Still, should be a laugh

Do not reckon that they will be selling a decent tatty pie for half time though eh?

Sadly not...

Ok guys if you see a fat bald headed good looking bloke wi 3 females in tow shouting his head off you will know its me.Hope it gets lively and the hermans show a bit more life than normal.So 6pm be there or be square

Come on you Bluuuueeeeeees

Kathie/Jeeves Im thinking of driving fron Pasing if you want a lift PM me

Reet then we all up for it.Gonna make a bacon delivery in Riem at 5.00 pm and then on to the ground for me.Where we all meeting?Gonna have to behave myself as i have the trouble and strife + the 2 daughters with me.

OK, Jeeves and I will be taking the S2 from Hauptbahnhof at 16:32. We are meeting on the platform at the front end of the train, and will be sharing a Partner Tageskarte. They are valid for up to 5 people, so if anyone wants to join us (Bluedave, Lassie, Sin?), feel free! PM me if you'll be joining us, so I know whether to look out for you, or for a mobile number if you want to meet up at the ground.

Come on you Blues!!!

We were robbed i mean rightoeusly robbed.The bloody ref had no idea.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I've been melting the whole day (and looking after the kids), and getting prepared for a business trip.

Who won?

2 - 1 for the others but we scored first and although we were seriously out numbered we out sung the Hermans

I'm an Arminia fan, mate.
