Hi,
A gang of us in work are heading to Berlin on the w/end of 17/18/19 Sept. Just wondering does anybody know who would be the nearest team to watch as I don't think Berlin have a team in the top tier at the moment.
Cheers.

Union v Hertha is on that weekend(19th). Battle of the Berlin sides from the 2. Bundesliga.

Berlin is a great city nightmare to get around tho its massive, 3 actual trains are needed to get from one place to another.

The Olympic stadium as one of the best stadiums i have ever been in.

S.R.F.C.

Amazing weekend to head over if you can manage to get tickets, would be very tough though.

Hardly a nightmare to get around! Amazing transport, the trains are class.

They are class as always on time but you need to get 3 of them and the middle one stops an hour earlier than the other 2. Also when pissed after a match its quite difficult to make trains

Stunning stadium tho

Obviously enough it depends where you're going but yeah i can see where you're coming from in regard to going some places. Great city though and would be some experience getting to Union - Hertha!

I will do my best to get tkts to the Hertha game, only need 11. The funny thing is we work in transport here in Dublin. Thanks for the replies.

If you manage to get to this one, keep an eye out for our very own Patrick Kohlmann, Union Berlin left back and number 7, former Ireland u21 international!

Its a brilliant city just imo too big, we did the sightseeing thing the day after the game Reichstag, charlie somfin.But serious amount of trains needed to get around.

<sad bastard moment> Berlin is actually 2 cities the old and new, when the wall was up both were built up around their own centres, when the wall came down you had basically 2 cities to be made into one. It explains why the trains run in certain ways</sad bastard moment> I paid attention on the tour bus

Theres another stadium and it may be used for that game, thankfully its not Uefa standard and we got the Olympic

Paparazzo

Knowing stuff doesn't make you a sad bastard!
What's the story with match tickets? Do you get free transport around the city, or is it the entire country? If you're a Bayern Munich fan heading up to Hamburg and you have a match ticket do you get free trains for the day?
