Pre-season

[KMC-1889]

Don’t we usually put out U21s for these?

Obvs there’ll be a golf course near by, needs something for his mates to do while he’s with the team

Not everyone. There was a noisy portion of the fans base waiting for him to trip up so their messiah could be reinstated. No surprise after a couple of bad results the 5th column were starting the wilder chants.

It’s going to be the same until he retires and we gut the club of his mates and allies. If he’s here beyond the end of next season I’ll be packing it in for a bit.

Oh ffs.

No Blade ever wants their club to lose. I know plenty who disagreed with Wilder's sacking. None of them wanted us to lose games "so their messiah could be re-instated".

Can we get back to talking about pre-season? You can post your anti-Wilder rants on one of the anti-Wilder threads.

Not sure what you're asking, the tweet says "development side"

Apologies, missed that on the graphic.

Bochum just reminds me of the Bochum Parkway!

Yes, it's weird that the Germans chose to rename an old town, after a bit of our outer ring road.

Another Development XI confirmation

Like a night out in Bochum...

Decent place is Bochum, been a few times .

Direct trains to Bochum from Dusseldorf airport in under an hour according to Google

Direct trains to Bochum from Dusseldorf airport only 23 mins according to Google

Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Cologne all fairly easy.

Yep about 1.5 hrs train from Cologne airport.

 

[Wards]

Cologne looks the easiest/cheapest option to fly into

 

[S64 Blade]

Fancying this one!

 

[Dkc]

Hotels are fairly cheap. Stadium is close to centre. Good public transport. Good beer. Ryanair fly to Cologne. Not seen anything not to like so far.

Back in the day I used to be important enough for people to send a car to the airport and chauffer me to Bochum. Nowadays sadly it looks like a train journey with the proletariat and unwashed.

Ah well, times change .

Bloody hell mate, I'll drive you to the airport if you like

Joking aside some lovely beer halls and this place is one to visit.

The one weekend I'm busy, FFS

Have been to the ground before and the region many times if there's any questions. A ticket should cover travel to the ground from Düsseldorf, but not Köln, although with it being a PSF and not a league game it might be different

 

[TJB.]

Christ alive, I could feasibly do this trip if it wasn't for the fact I have to go to a wedding on the Sunday that I really don't want to go to.

Hoping that the Getafe/Valencia bit is true.

 

[Foxy]

Which one of you just increased my flights by £30 whilst checking out?

 

[Davalon]

Usually give away fans 3,000 so hopefully no silly ticket restrictions.

Didn't realise Uwe Rosler was their manager. Affectionately nicknamed 'the Nazi' by his Man City team mates.

 

[sufc323]

What time do the official club coaches set off?

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Well done SUFC for announcing this so early and for getting a decent ticket allocation. Three of us planning to drive there as it's only about 260 miles to Bochum from Calais.

Or a stop off in Bruges on the way..? Thinking Sheff to Bruges, sampling some fine beers - then up next day suitably "refreshed" (!) on to Bochum

 

[Balham]

I've genuinely been hoping we'd play Bochum in Bochum since I went there in '97. Then we finally arrange a friendly at the Ruhrstadion when I'm on holiday in Brittany and can't get there. Gutted.

I didn't realise that either. He was managing Aarhus until the end of last season. After he left they won the title.

Same. I looked earlier and found Manc to Düsseldorf for £119 looked again about an hour later, same flight £286.
