Should of gone and seen Fc Salzburg rather than the plastic Red Bull version.
Now I may be a football tourist for this BVB/Schalke derby but I REFUSE to buy a half and half scarf.
No need to worry about that.

Hi Chief,
Can I ask where you live in France - I am wondering what the,weather is like there and whether my little house in The Limousine is suffering! Do you get to see many French games? I am dancing a Les Verts game but haven't got round to enquiring about tickets sect. Any tips?

well done sir
drive through luxemburg up the a 48, past my house in Mayen and on to the a61
you will go past köln but do have a night there if it fits, its great for a night out
in fact it´s a must
have only been to borussia dortmund once, but it´s right up there with my best footie experiences ever
it wasnt´BVB but liverpool beating alaves in the uefa cup final, unforgettable.
could be trouble with Schalke in town as its Palace v Brighton x lots
over the years it has had it´s moments but normally it will be well policed & peaceful
so hoping BVB are still in the bottom three ... that is so very very funny !
whatever ... enjoy !

I live near Limoges! French footy I find rather dull to be honest. My nearest league club is Chateauroux and although I have been a couple of times it just isn't the same as the Goldstone/Withdean/Amex. Weather is like a summesrs day in Northumberland at the mo - cold and wet
Probably not a good idea - Dortmund is not in Bavaria.

I thought all Germans wore Lederhosen? Are you suggesting this could all end in tears?
Great Stadium ... Go to the square before the game ... Plenty of vendors selling Bratwurst with some kinda curry sauce ... Head to the ground about 2-3 hours before on the metro and go to the 1 of the fans zones outside the ground .. Huge bars that serve beer (about €4 a pint) and great atmosphere .. you'll see all kinda nutters dressed from head to toe in yellow and black ... great in side and you can have a beer or 3 at your seat .... enjoy and just take in the south stand ... Its stunning

Chief,
Glad to hear the weather over there is not too bad. I get over to Limoges regularly but it will be spring before I get back. I know what you mean about the French games but I have heard good things about the atmosphere at St Etienne. I will check it out one day.
I've been to a few games in Germany and it is different class - you'll love it.

Did exactly the same with my 12 year old son last season. We got an early flight into dusseldorf and got the train to dortmund. All easy enough if you do a bit of research beforehand. Hardest bit was the tickets for the shuttle tram from the airport to train station. Once in dortmund we did the same as sherbet outlined above. The whole town wears yellow and black. Even met a old chap selling scarfs on a side street who originated from Brighton but moved to Germany 40 odd years ago. Small world. We stood in the yellow wall...amazing experience. Everyone friendly throughout the trip. We saw them play borrusia MG. Only downside was they lost. Weirdest thing of all was the the football was a bit of a sideshow to the crowd. Metro train works fine but again do a bit of research as to which stations to get off and on from or follow the crowd. After the game we got the train back to dusseldorf and stayed in an airport hotel before flying home the next morning.

As others have rightly said, nothing plastic about it as you are a true footy fan and are going for all the right reasons. And what a great Dad you will be in your son's eyes after this treat! I am very jealous. I've promised my two lads (11 & 8) that we will do something like this one day so will be interested in a full update on your return!
