    Have spent some time out in that part of the world. If I remember the route I used was Luton to Dortmund, and Gelsenkirchen is not far from there. Its part of the Ruhr valley area which used to rely on heavy industries especially steel so is a down to earth working class kind of place from what i can remember. Passed by the stadium quite a lot but never went to a game or anything.

    The 64,000/62,000 is the stand up, football, terracing figure.

    I wonder what it will be for the boxing...

    It will be sold out like the other Klitschko fights. Would not sell well in America though.

    I was talking about Vlad Vs. Haye.

    When Vitali fought Kirk Johnson at MSG, New York, it was sold out in a big snow storm, Klitschkos sell tickets.

    Got my flights out. 1p return flight haha (£14 tax tho :bart). This fight will cost me about £40 in total. £20 for the fight and £20 for the flight. **** staying in a hotel, the flight back home is at 6.40am on Sunday I'll just do an all nighter in DUSSELDORF WEEZE WHEREVER THE **** THAT IS! :happy
    Oh, one thing I need to know though, the Germans are having the fight at a decent time aren't they? If it's a 4am one to suit America I'm stuck there lol. Didn't think the yanks would be too excited about the fight so gambled on the 6.40am flight back.

    Have fun with cattle and farmers in Weeze (aka middle of nowhere, has nothing to do with Düsseldorf) and tell us how it was. ;)

    The fight should be around 11 o'clock in the evening, we're never considerate of American TV in Germany.

  10. Ahhhhh

    Thats a usual Ryanair trick.

    Calling an Airport Milan, Barcelona-Girona, Dusseldorf-Weeze etc..... when actually it is an airport many miles away in the middle of nowhere

    Ryanair once advertised flights to Copenhagen and they actually landed in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY (!) - Malmo in Sweden!!!!!!

    :patsch
     

  12. :rofl

    Although there is a pretty sweet rail bridge over the Sea between Copenhagen - Malmo

    But this "Dusseldorf" Weeze airport looks to be about 40-50 miles away from Dusseldorf.

    Also they call an airport Barcelona-Girona !! Girona is nowhere near Barcelona for heavens sake

    Guys... I'm ****ed. Ryanair have done me a gooden lol. There's no trains or buses back to this Weeze place after the fight time. So my 6.40am flight is in jeopardy! I thought Weeze would be like a town in Dusseldorf. It isn't apparently. Been on other forums and fans are having similar problems. 150 euros some are being quoted to get from the arena to Weeze. Looks like my trip isn't gonna cost £40 :bart
    Are the Klit team really making it this hard for UK fans to just simply get to the fight and back on purpose? I know they like their fights to lack any sort of atmosphere what so ever but come on!
    Really hoping Wlad gets KTFO now.
     
  15. Unlucky Smudger..... I did warn ppl on this site, because I was going to book it until I realised were Weeze is.... because it's a usual Ryanair trick.

    Maybe the Germans may get some coaches sorted out for the fight
