RB Leipzig 08:00 - Jun 5 with 4867 viewsCheshireR

It looks like we may have a pre season friendly in Germany coming up.
I hope this gets confirmed - it would be a top weekend away.

lovely, out of a country with loads of attractive away fixtures we are chosen by one in the nazi armpit.

I went to Leipzig for a WC2006 game, it's a nice enough city these days. Close to Berlin too, which is always good.

I went in 2012 and can confirm it is a fine city.
The ground was built for the world cup in 2006 and the original intention was that it would be a new home for Locomotiv Leipzig.
Unfortunately for Locomotiv their poor league performances and low crowds prevented this from becoming a reality.
Red Bull recognised the opportunity of a massive catchment area without a Bundesliga club so bought another (far less prestigious) Leipzig team and have promptly pumped millions into the venture.
After years of league climbing - RB were promoted last month to Bundesliga 2 - but it is fair to say they are widely disliked across Germany.
They are viewed as being a "plastic" team and simply a marketing vehicle for Red Bull.
All that aside - I'm sure it would be a good away trip

Some might say we're perfectly suited to each other......Not me though.

Promoted last season, but not as Champions.
Spent loads. Owner investments.
Changed the Club Badge.
Upsetting other Clubs & Fans......

Think I'd prefer Oireland.

I've got to disagree about Leipzig.
There is not much there compared to other German cities, though the trip to Colditz is worthwhile.
The stadium is quite good, like a miniature Wembley.
As a club they are despised for not being a real club, like MK Dons.

Can't we play Freiburg, or Paderborn or Greuther Furth where I haven't been or Union Berlin, HSV, or Fortuna Dusseldorf where I like going, and we'd have a better party?

I agree that there are more attractive cities to visit in Germany (although RB Leipzig would be a new ground for me) but it's only 1 hr 30 or so from Berlin on the train so we'd be back for currywurst and Berlinerweiss in the blink of an eye! Good chance of a game somewhere on the Sunday to take in and all...

The only other game you would be likely to see would be a friendly. The German second division starts pretty early, ie July, although it may be a bit later because of the WC.

Erzgebirge Aue is the team I would love to play.
