It seems that tickets went on sale to home fans at the same time, so it wasn't just the 3,3k Villa tickets.

Has anyone actually managed to buy Dortmund tickets yet? It’s not working for me.

With the cost of travelling to the Champions league away games, i would be surprised if we sold out our allocation for the Dortmund friendly.

I managed to get tickets eventually.  I think the rush of traffic from the UK made their IT systems think there was an attack and so it started blocking attempts to move through the process.  Even if you get past the "create a new password" step there's still quite a lot to get through.  It was a bit of a faff to say the least.  20 minutes notice wasn't helpful either.  Glad I was working from home today!

Still no news about Trnava tickets.  The game's in 12 days time.

I know, I blame the club for letting Dogtanian post it as an email link instead of an html one. Sort it out heck.

Managed to get 2 tickets after about 50 attempts. The confirmation e-mail (in german) doesn't actually contain the tickets. You need to go back to the ticket part of the website to find your actual tickets. Should be interesting trying to find somewhere to park near a stadium that holds over 80,000 fans. Will probably look at public transport options.

You get free public transport with your match ticket.

Why do the players always bring the small dressing case (guess what its called in English), dont they have those soap holders - free for everyone,  in the shower-rooms over there?

I'm sure they do. But I'd guess the players bring things like deodorant, hair product and aftershave as well. I wouldn't have thought the Bodymoor bogs have an old bloke with a cup for tips offering you a squirt of CK1 for a quid.
Yes, of course. I guess I just found it a bit kind of funny all the pictures of the "big" players with their small dressing cases - all seems alike and well thought true when chosen (except Italian player with us season that just gone that came with a plastic bag (opposite end of the scale)). A do struggle a bit  express my views (when complex) sometimes as English not first language - sorry for that.

So apart from the obvious international contingent, where are the rest of them?

Barkley
Enzo
Olsen
Bailey
The Serbian kid
Watkins...he surely isn't in Germany ...grrr
