Hello there,
I'm a Celtic supporter currently living in Canada but originally from Scotland.
I'm flying back home in October to watch Celtic and then flying over to Germany to make a football pilgrimage. I've always been a fan of German league football and wanted to visit Berlin.
The story of Union is really appealing and I have wanted to visit the Försterei stadium for a while now.
Sadly, my trip to Berlin is at the very worst time. The game is against the dreaded Dresden!
I know this is only open to members. I'm not complaining. It's a derby game and I dislike the thought of a football "tourist" taking the ticket from a passionate Union fan.
So my trip may be a bit of a bust in watching Union Berlin live. It is unlucky, but at least I will visit Berlin for the first time.
I was wondering if I can ask Union Berlin fans for advice on my trip to Berlin?
I'm exceptionally keen to visit all things associated Union Berlin. Perhaps I can visit the stadium on a day before the game. Would you recommend this?
Also, what bar can I go to watch the game against Dresden to get an authentic Union Berlin Atmosphere?
If there is any other places or things to do I should add to my Berlin bucket list, your advice would be very welcome.
If any fans would like to trade shirts I can provide shirts from the Montreal Celtic supporters club.
Best wishes for the season. Good luck and I hope to hear some good advice!
