Semi Final in Cologne

[Big90inOz]

I will be in Cologne on the weekend of the Aberdeen game, wondering if any of our German based Hibbys can advise a bar / club which will show the game ?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Try The Corkonian on Alter Markt, stopped off there on the way to Essen for the 50th anniversary game.

Make sure you pay a visit to Früh am Dom beside the cathedral too. A bit touristy but, good fun.

Cologne? FFS, when is this madness going to stop?

Yes, I know money is important in the Scottish game, but there would be no game without the fans.

Semi finals should be played at Hampden. Petrie GTF. :grr:

How's everyone getting there?

Spent last weekend in Cologne, cracking city you'll have a great time. If you can make sure you get to FC Koln game, great day out.

There's an Irish bar James Joyce on Teutoburger Street which might show it - beer wasn't great there however it's next to a fantastic burger place Die Fette Kuh which I'd highly recommend.

I watched the 4-3 Falkirk semi in the Corkonian at Alter Markt. Barney Valleys will likely have it on too. Might be a couple of German Hibees at Barney's too.

Been to Cologne a few times but not had a game to watch, I'm staying in the centre close to the cathedral
I'm staying in a hotel about 200m from the Corkonian

I daresay I'll be drenched in the stuff at Hampden as usual.

I know this bar, sat at the end of the bar and watched Hibs Tv on the pub laptop, they were committed to showing rugby so couldn't put the game on TV. Staff were excellent

Just heard from my mate, he will be there at 11, says best to get there early if you're still going, seemingly there is a right wing (not football lol) demonstration on , so could be a wee bit tasty , if you go, stay safe and enjoy the game GGTTH

[Frazerbob]

Cologne is a great city. Do not, whatever you do, go to Pacha to celebrate our win though. That would be a really bad move. :wink:

Small bar but glad uve got somewhere to watch. Great city . Enjoy. Worth going further out to
Belgen quarter and ehrenfield if poss. Only a tenner in taxi back to centre

Get the train to Dusseldorf (better city :wink:) only a half hour and head to http://www.mclaughlins.de/ in the Altstadt, always a Hi-Bee there and maybe even Matty Jack will be there. Once the game is over make use of the rest of the area, more pubs per square mile than anyware in Europe (or it used to be)

[Big90inOz]

I'll be watching the game from Perth, Australia now as the meeting I was going to has been delayed till the end of May.
Interesting about Düsseldorf , maybe I'll nip over with the train as I'm staying close to the Cathedral / train station

Dusseldorf worth a trip if poss but both great places. Id pick Koln of two but take in both if poss. Owner mclaughlins was with matty jack at hibs preseason game v vitesse few years back and was a good man.

A pal of mine over there said it won't be open in time for the game due to this so maybe worth a call.

[cheltenhamhibee]

Just been told my mate in Cologne that the pub will be closed unfortunately on police advice, they are expecting massive disorder with the protesters

Was that Tom McLaughlin? Sadly no longer with us not sure who owns it now but the staff have been there for ever! A Celtc pub but all teams very welcome.
