Had a fantastic experience at 1860 Munchen at the start of November. The game was 1860 v Freiburg II. Before the game, the fans were in good spirits at the local pub around the corner from the stadium. Beers and schnitzels were served at very reasonable prices. I consumed a few before the game and had a schnitzel to keep me going for a few hours. Security was quick and efficient. Covid checks were in place and passports and vaccination status had to be shown. The game itself was quite an exciting affair. 1860 came out of the blocks very quick and by half time they were 2 - 0 up. The crowd were in fine voice and the flags kept on waving. A good thing with german football games is that you can drink beer in the terraces (and smoke drugs if you wish ). I stuck to the beer and sang along with the loyal fans. Half time, and a quick trip to the fan shop to buy a scarf and a beer bottle opener (as well as a pee due to the beer drinking). Another beer purchased and on with the second half. What a game it was, the final score 6 - 0 to the mighty 1860 !. Met a lot of new friends / fans that day. What a fantastic support this club has. This really was a day to remember!!! Back to the fan pub after the game to celebrate with more beer and schnitzels. The fans were happy to mix together without any trouble which is always good to see. One place worth going to after the game is the "Giesinger" brauhaus, just North of the stadium. The address is Martin Luther Strasse. 10-15 min walk and has one of the best Wiener Schnitzels in Munchen.

I always admired the dedication of fans of visiting football teams. They mingle, vastly outnumbered, with the home team fans, unperturbed by the danger they are in. The cops in riot-gear always look more concerned than they do. Preussen Munster fans had the task of turning up to Grünwalder Stadion, Munich 1860 turf. There can be no more dedicated fans than Sechzig’s. On this occasion Preussen Munster prevailed, but with some dodgy refereeing decisions if you ask me. Everyone got out safely. There’s a €1 deposit on the plastic beer mugs. Fan’s kids queue up near the fence to catch the empty mugs. Some do quite well, I can tell you. I suggest you sit as high in the stand as possible.
