I can only add to toon_craig's comments, thank you very much Frankfurt you were charming hosts to say the least. The game itself was poor and Frankfurt should have won but a combination of poor finishing and the World's best keeper saw homours even. But lets not get a game of football get in the way of a good piss-up eh lads? I sincerely hope that we created a good impression ourselves and the we will remain good freinds and rivals.
Once again, Cheers Frankfurt hope to see you in the near future.

Hey Jimmy,

YES, your ticket includes free local transportation for the match day (buses, tram, metro, s-bahn)!

Have fun in Frankfurt.

Tuaniz, thanks for your reply.
Will the free transport be for the whole day or just for a certain period of time? I don't want to be fined €40 for not having a valid ticket!
We WILL have fun in Frankfurt.

Now that it has been confirmed that the game will definitely take place on the 30th is anyone able to tell me if (like the World Cup) posession of a match ticket entitles the holder to free travel on the local transport?
Your help is much appreciated.

My dear Frankfurters there are rumours that the game will be switched to Weds Nov 29. If this is the case there will be a lot of angry people (like myself ) who have already booked flights/hotels for the 30th.
Any information will be gratefully received:

Fans warned on Germany tripOct 12 2006
By Lee Ryder, The Evening Chronicle
Newcastle United fans have been warned to take care when making their arrangements for the trip to Eintracht Frankfurt next month.

The UEFA Cup match is still scheduled for Thursday, November 30 which means United face a gruelling trip to Chelsea on Saturday, December 2, less than 48 hours after the game in Germany.

United would love Chelsea to switch the game to the Sunday but with the Stamford Bridge side facing Levski Sofia in the Champions League at home on Tuesday, December 5, Jose Mourhino's side are naturally reluctant to change things around despite their mammoth squad. An alternative for United would be to move the Eintracht game to Wednesday, 24 hours earlier than the scheduled date.

But that would leave several groups of United fans in limbo because many have booked flights to Frankfurt on the day of the game with easyJet from Stanstead which means they would arrive in Germany the day after the game.

The date is still subject to final confirmation but United said today: "Any fans planning on going to Germany for the Frankfurt game are reminded the date of the game remains subject to confirmation by UEFA, and supporters must remain mindful of that when making their travel arrangements. Usually, whenever an English team plays a UEFA Cup game on a Thursday night their next domestic fixture is put back to a Sunday - but this can only happen where the other team does not have another game within three days.

"As a result, Newcastle have made representations to UEFA, the FA and the Premier League in a bid to resolve the matter.


"If it is decided the Frankfurt game goes ahead on November 30, then another possibility is for the Chelsea fixture to be rescheduled for a date in the new year and for the weekend of December 2/3 to be blank
