Nürnberg 0 - 2 Hamburg

On Saturday, we managed to get to our first FC Nürnberg home game (never mind that it was the last of the season!). It was something which we had never really got round to before, but one of the teachers from my school very kindly offered us 2 free tickets, so naturally we jumped at the chance!

Nürnberg play in the German Bundesliga (Premiership) and are 6th in the table. Luckily, they didn't need the points from this game, as they lost 2-0 to a much more dominant Hamburg. But it was still a great experience, as the stadium is fantastic, and there was a sell out crowd of 47,000.

But best of all was the free beer at the end of the match! The sponsors said that for every home goal scored since Christmas, they would give 100 free litres of beer to the fans. Only in Germany!!

So many thanks to Christa for the tickets!
