That's the best draw we could've gotten. Schalke are terrible! I'm very happy with that.

Dusseldorf flights all sold out. Fuming was 50£ return.

Are there airports in Cologne or Frankfurt? Those are about 30-40 minutes by train from Dusseldorf.

What's the point in being a smart arse ? Guessing your not going. Already wasted hours this morning looking at flights etc then it all goes in seconds. Are all blues off or something..

What am I supposed to Google? How the fuck do I get to shalke without spending a grand and travelling for 2 days?

Cheers will look at Frankfurt. Even direct Dam flights on the day went as lads are suggesting flying there and then the train but only wanted to stay over one night really.

You're bolloxed if you can't laugh Nick.
The further out you land the cheaper you'll get.
Looking on Tripadvisor,there is an early morning Eurowings flight into Dusseldorf on 20/02/18 (is that the date?) but the return is very early morning next day.
€172.
Frankfurt would be €168 but it's a lot further away. Don't know about the rail links but I'm sure you could work that out.
Hotels in Gelsenkirchen don't look too dear.

Brussels a good point to travel around Europe . Regular cheap flights there for around £30 - £50 from Manchester then get a cheap connecting flight to wherever you want in Germany, dead easy pal .

That's a tasty draw for us. Happy days.
Dortmund will do spurs.
Rags chances are not great but PSG are erratic.
I think the vermin will get past Bayern.

So Berlin to Dortmund is 500 kilometers and takes 4 hours by train after already flying over Gelsenkirchen from Brussels.

not very green is it ?

Simply taking the train from Brussels Airport will get you at fastest in 4 hours in Gelsenkirschen. for 58 Euros http://www.db.de.

That takes you through Eindhoven. So better still , is there a flight to Eindhoven or possibly Amsterdam (must be the biggest airport near Gelsenkirschen anyway)
Flights from Manc to Eindhoven showing about 35 quid with Ryanair.
