    Here's a wee map I did to give you an idea what to expect.
    Walking from Rheydt central station to St. Marien church via Bahnhofstrasse takes you 4-5 minutes, 30 if you'll have a jar in any of the pubs along the way. From the church it's only another 5-6 minutes until you reach Rheydt mark(e)t platz, dunno exactly what they're providing there.
    Have a 'halber Liter' (~pint) Altbier on me.
    Go n-eiri an t-adh leat

    Don't know if anyone can beat this but at Monchengladbach station I met a guy (not pished either) who jumped on a bus earlier thinking it was going to the stadium, turned out it wasn't even going to Germany but Venlo in Holland, so a 4 mile trip took him to another country :57:

    He said he just stayed on it and came back to Monchengladbach to try again:56:

    My brother went to the game last night, he wont tell me how much he paid for the tickets, but he said it was expensive. He doesn't even support Celtic either he's just went for a laugh. He said the atmosphere was absolutely incredible and the irish bars were rammed last night, as you would expect.

    He is now in Dortmund and hoping to get a ticket for their game tonight and then going to Schalke tomorrow. He's having a little German Europe adventure while at home with a week off work thinking why the * did I not go with him!! :31:

    Absolutely fantastic day. Started with mass, sang 'you'll never walk alone' there, even the local priest joined in:50:
    Went to Rheydt markt, met so many Celtic Supporters from all over the place, had a wee chat with 3 lads from Livingston about Altbier, and why it's the besht. Then headed off to the irish bar near the station for a jar, hoops jerseys all over the place.
    Went home on me scooter, got prepared for the match, banner and all. Met me mates @ the fanhaus and into the park we went. There again loads of Celtic fans, many amongst Borussia supporters having a drink/bratwurst and the craic together, before, during and after the match. What a blasht.
    Go raibh maith agaibh to all involved for making it so special for me to see my two favourite clubs having so much fun together.:57:
