Wolfsburg away details

[paf1965]

We arrive in Berlin on Wednesday morning, so have got all day and night Wednesday there before getting the train to Wolfsburg on Thursday. Would appreciate any advice as far as bars and the likes. We'll be staying in the Mitte district

Doing the same myself with 3 others, staying near Alexzanderplatz, will be going here on Wednesday night http://www.hofbraeuhaus-berlin.de

Got digs in Wolfsburg, be there from lunch (flying into Hannover). Is ANYONE actually staying in wolfsburg? Couldn't be arsed with the trains after match, but sounds like there's some good options. Tempted to switch plans if it's going to be a ghost town!

Nice one, I'll look into that. Have you been to Berlin before? I've heard the bar scene is very scattered with no specific clusters of bars. Might be an idea to find somewhere decent and stay put?

I think the hotels are sold out so there must be a good few blues staying over. We're staying over on the Thursday and just plan to make the best of it

From Everton:

We have been advised by our German colleagues that cash cannot be used to purchase food and drink inside the stadium.

Instead, a pre-payment card system is in use.

Everton have received 300 cards which can be purchased by fans. They cost £16 which covers €10 of credit and a €10 deposit.

Any unused credit and the deposit can be reclaimed at the ticket kiosk outside the stadium. Cards can also be topped up with additional credit if required.

The pre-payment cards are on sale to personal callers only from the Park End box office from 8am on Monday 18 November.

If you aren’t able to purchase one of the 300 cards Everton have received, you can purchase a card at the Volkswagen Arena.

They can't sell ale at European games, can they?

Hardly seems worth it then

Was in Berlin last week and went to that place. Very good for a drink! Can be hard to find the bars as a poster above said as they are not clustered together but tend to be scattered about. Found the transport system in Berlin to be first class though.

Local paper just trying to get a few more clicks...

If they really wanted to know what the score was, they might ask the local Nuremberg paper (or even the FC Nürnberg fans who are making the journey up to Wolfsburg because of the friendships forged during the EL game there).

Luckily, the police spokesmen seem pretty relaxed about the whole thing.

Agreed. Lazy/poor journalism. Never let the facts spoil a story.

They weren't selling any in Lille. I remember years ago in Nuremberg they were though. Maybe the rules have changed since then.

It was alcohol free in Nuremberg.
