Eintracht Frankfurt v Hoffenheim

It's this Sunday. I just wanted to let you all know that I have a free ticket to my company's VIP Lounge. Free food, drink and a gurt big comfortable leather seat.

Enjoy! German football is quite entertaining, I manage to watch a fair bit on BT sport. Frankfurt have a big stadium, 50k I think?

Yeah. I think it's about 55k for League games and 50k for European/International games (all seating for European/International v standing area for league games) They sell-out most games, but the club do not own the stadium. It's owned by the Council, and Eintracht pay 12 million euros per year to use it. The stadium was re-built for the World Cup in 2006.

I'm like AxeGas, I like watching German football.
It's the closest football to our Premiership, excellent footy, and the attendances are excellent too.
Hope you enjoy Nobby!!!!

The first 2.45 of this video clip is the Frankfurt fans singing the Eintracht Anthem, basically their Goodnight Irene. It's quite impressive when in the stadium, as they all bloody sing along ! It's only sang at the beginning of the game though, and not 150 times during the game !

How does that translate, Nobby? "As we go marching through Poland"?

Strangely enough, no it doesn't ! There are bits that mention the 'heart of Europe' and 'Masters of Germany', so maybe it is being alluded to......also, the badge of Eintracht is an Eagle.....Hhmmm.
