It's nothing extraordinary but it has sentimental value for me

Bonus point for Grolsch

it's 76€ + a one-time admission fee of 20€ when you join for the first time.

I think both Sol and Corona are both very mediocre bland beers but I do enjoy a Corona with a wedge of lime on a hot day; especially on the beach. Or as a part of long drinks. Michelada Goes really well along spicy food too. Or if you want to spend the whole day pub crawling. So yeah I agree; there's a place and time for different kinds of beer. Weirdly enough Heineken tastes good during a flight for some reason. There are some that are absolutely horrid at all times and in all situations though.

Attention seeking. Especially when it's done by grown ups on social media.

Honestly the worst beer I ever drank was Finnish. Lapin Kulta was the name of the brand I think. Watered-down, bland and disgusting to such a degree that it's barely even drinkable - even at 6am in transit at the airport after a long haul flight which normally means I'm not very picky anymore at that point. Oh and the price of 11€ for a glass didn't do it any favours either. Horrific. Should be a crime to even call it beer as it's false advertising.

Everyone knows that that's why nobody outside Köln drinks it

https://www.transfermarkt.de/2-bundesliga/daten/wettbewerb/L2 That second big image you posted isn't accurate I think. I see they still put Frankfurt at less than 60000 but they're at 80000 now; so there might be some other errors as well.

The names of the membership tiers might vary from club to club but when it comes to Werder the only difference between the two is having a right to vote - Fördermitglieder don't have this right whereas Vollmitglieder do. Being a member has a few advantages in general; the main ones being discounts on season tickets, two free match tickets, priority in getting tickets for top and away matches, discount on merchandise and then some other small stuff like club magazine etc. A full membership with voting right obviously gives you a direct say in how the club is run so there's that. Back when I became a member I was living nearby and going to matches from time to time but to be honest I never had a chance to use any of the membership benefits anyway (other than free stadium tour). For me it's just about supporting the club and being part of it hence why I'm still a paying member and probably will be for life (depending on how silly the cost gets of course).

That chart is accurate. For the part in bold: I'd say Frankfurt benefits from the fact that there's a lack of higher-profile clubs in Hessen so they are more likely to attract fans from all around the state whereas Bremen is the smallest federal state in the country and is surrounded by a geographical area with a number of other historically successful clubs with strong fan base. Hamburg is just over 100 km away and have HSV and St. Pauli; Niedersachsen have Hannover which is also just over 100 km away and also a few other traditional clubs in lower leagues + Wolfsburg. That said, the costs of the membership aren't helping to attract new members ever. I've been a "Fördermitglied" for years and wanted to upgrade to a "Vollmitglied" but the membership fee of 168€ a year is fucking ridiculous. It's the most expensive one in the league as well; more than double of what some other clubs charge ffs.

McLaren really doing well with Seidl.

yeah that was the initial reason why I decided against it but just watched the trailer and it looks pretty good... Might give a try then.

I saw it but decided against watching it. Is it any good? I also meant to watch Treadstone. The new series connected to the Jason Bourne universe. Oh and BBC's War of the Worlds.

Christian Groß in NDR Sportclub on Sunday. Should be an interesting talk. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/sportclub/Sportclub,sendung954754.html Every week watching him I wonder how he never made it into 1. Bundesliga before. Good positioning, solid technique, good passing, intelligent, solid both in defense and going forward occasionally. Happy he got his chance so late in his career; hope he stays in the first team after the winter break as well.

There will most likely be mods for that at some point anyway...

Currently finishing my latest LOST re-watch; maaaaybe will get back to it after that...

Sounds very encouraging! I was already optimistic after seeing the first footage as I thought it looked fantastic and so it's nice to hear it getting positive reviews already. Can't wait for it to be released...

Yeah I stopped watching. They're all just too fucking mental for me.

Toro Rosso name change for next season confirmed now after all teams agreed to it.

Team LaRusso or Team Johnny?

You should watch Wayne next!

That's a beautiful set of chess... My grandpa taught me how to play when I was a kid too. Good times.

Yeah me neither; but it's an entry level series he's driving in so it's not surprising haha. Will be interesting to see if he makes it to a higher level...
