Hamburg Football Stadium Journey Day 3
At late night at St Pauli but no time to waste in the morning as one more Hamburg ground to get before the short S Bahn trip to Bergedorf and 2 great stadiums
DAY 3
Ground 19
Sportplatz Beim-Gesundbrunnen - TuS Hamburg 1880
Nice little sports club
Ground 20
Billtal Stadium – TSG Bergedorf 1860
This is a great setting for a ground, a natural bowl in a forest, now an astro pitch but once was the largest clay surface pitch in Germany, with crowds of 30,000 plus – now the club of Russian ex pats may be lucky to draw 50 – is there anywhere in the world where such a small club plays in such a great stadium?
Ground 21
Langnese Happiness Stadium, Sander Tannen – FC Bergedorf 85
Crap name for a ground but another great stadium and a great way to finish off 50 hours of groundhopping- where next? Brussels or Berlin?
