Last tour I think they played a game at the Millers training complex, then one at a proper club ground a few miles away, so may be doing the same again? Whatever, I guess it will be in the Hanover area, probably against German lower division teams. Takes about 40 mins on train from Hanover to Barsinghausen

It's all based in Lower Saxony, so if we are to be playing teams from League 2, then it's from this lot:


FC Köln
SC Paderborn 07
FC Union Berlin
Hamburg SV
FC Heidenheim
St Pauli
Holstein Kiel
SSV Jahn Regensburg
Arminia Bielefeld
SV Darmstadt 98
VfL Bochum
FC Erzgebirge Aue
Dynamo Dresden
SpVgg Greuther Furth
SV Sandhausen
FC Ingolstadt 04
1. FC Magdeburg
MSV Duisburg

If it turns out we were crap and lose all our games then the squad will be left behind to play in Stalag 13.....


and if we're really good then we can play Hanover 96 from the Bundesliga, which is just up the road.

What he's not told them is that the plane lands at 6;30 just in time to get through customs and then a steady jog to the hotel

[mikemiller]

Bielefeld is close geographically, but if previous tours are anything to go by, we could be playing teams from the divisions below that one

[mellowmiller]

Is Bundesliga 2 the German equivalent to our Championship or is it a lower standard than that?

[mikemiller]

Same as Championship, I think. Some fairly big names in there, that's why our opponents may be from divisions below that.

It's the equivalent of our Championship mellow.
Their average crowd is ever so slightly higher.
