TSV Held to Goaless Draw

Der Lowen could only mange a 0-0 away draw against SV Wehen, who are currently sixth. This point means that the Lions are now in third place, two points behind Borussia M‘gladbach, who have a game in hand, and four points behind leaders SC Freiburg. From what I can make out in my limited German, it was a tight game, the Bender lads both played the full ninety minutes, but young Lars picked a yellow card. Next week is a crunch game as Der Lowen welcome Borussia M‘gladbach to Allianz Arena, in a top of the table clash. My plans to visit Dusseldorf in April (the weekend beginning Friday the 25th) for the return fixture are up and running. Shouty, The Boy Dazzler and El Grande Queso are up for it, and Aki's bantams posse are showing more than a little interest. The flights with Jet2 from Leeds/Bradford are currently up at around £80, and I will happily book them on receipt of cash. Be aware though there are no refunds on cheap air tickets, so once you pay, you go or loose. The hotels will probably be in the £80-100 range each for two nights, depending on location and the like. Will book these at a later date, although it would be a great help if everybody paid for their own room on departure. There is however one fly in the ointment. There is a possibility the game could be played on a Monday night. The flights return to England at 9pm, so we either go for the weekend and hope its played Sat/Sun, or go Sunday and come back Tuesday and hope it's on Monday night. The flights for the second option are priced at £45 at the moment. My instinct says go Friday, but my pocket is shouting for a Sunday. Consultation is required.
