I couldn't find anything about it's demise except that it was in 1996.

Was your grandpa a part of the team during this period?

Was your grandpa a part of the team during this period? That wiki article actually conflates two clubs into one. The club that won all those titles was called Lima (another factory team) and it was merged with Drobe (my grandad's factory team) at some point in the 70s, so the achievements are listed there under Drobe, but it is actually Lima's... Drobe were always playing in lower tiers until the merger, my grandad played there from late 50s to mid 60s, and I'm pretty sure they haven't won anything. Like ever
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted March 1, 2023 Subscriber Posted March 1, 2023 I also keep track of Dortmund as I class that as my German team I follow because I lived in Dortmund during my army days. 13 hr 46 min (768.2 mi) via A1 by train, plane or car.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted March 1, 2023 Subscriber Posted March 1, 2023 It’s now 30 miles, used to be a lot closer. But now takes me 45 minutes to get there. Not too bad.

Scotland to Dortmund 13h 46min by plane? Do they have a stopover at Bejing?

To be honest buddy the last time I was in a plane was 1975 when I left the army I only added a plane in for the sake of it, I would love to go by train tbh, as the last time I traveled by train to Germany was around 1974 I was going back on leave from Scotland with my wife, it was a lovely journey that started off from Edinburgh to Hull, then a ferry across to Rotterdam and then a train journey from there to Dortmund, I can't remember how long it took but I love train journeys.

OrangeKhrush Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 it was meant to be 10075km the extra 0 is unneeded
