Hooligan Watch

So what's going to be the big story of this year's World Cup? Is it going to be Theo Walcott's last minute winner against Sweden to put us through to the last round? Nah, I doubt it. It'll be a story about how English fan's are hooligans and symtematic of British society. Blah Blah.

Every four years the press love this sort of thing. They sit there behind their multiple screens waiting, itching for a riot. They criticise the nation for being voyeurs and crash-tv addicts but these guys are the one's that peddle it. If they didn't peddle it, I'm sure there would be fewer people part-taking in the activity. So you "media" types - focus on the really issues of the World Cup - dodgy ref's and over-priced tickets.

Most of the campsites are a fair way out of town so check the buss timetables. For tents, expect to pay around

€3.75 rent for up to four square metres; for caravans €6.45; plus €4.95 per person and children aged 6-14
€2.30 per night.

For a quick list of some of the campsites view the Germany Tourism website.
