There is a direct public bus line from Stuttgart airport to Reutlingen: About 45 min to 1 hour, costs less than 10 Euros. Asking at the information desk could have helped.

[@MurphyBWFC]

I did wonder this - why anyone would get a taxi from an airport unless it’s unsociable hours is beyond me

[@dylanragsdale3964]

I just think the mentality around hospitality at a lower level club makes you feel more at home. That even they might not have the massive stadium and the greatest players in the world that you are part of their family. Thats what its all about.

[@rob-yk8qf]

*the mentality around a lower level club Support your local. Forget about the Prem.

If you consider "no hospitality" worse than "worse hospitality", then yes, I guess it would work a Romanian/Moldovan 2nd tier club. But hey, you might not even pay to watch a game

For a 5th tier going down to 6th thats some great support.

I would have never expected to see a video about Reutlingen on your channel but I'm here for it. Tell me when you're around Stuttgart again, I will happily take you wherever you need to go. And you should visit VfB Stuttgart or FC Heidenheim, both our regional first divison clubs are doing really well currently and have a great story to tell.

[@owleyes5923]

Oh, let's go, you're doing Germany, I hope you had a great time here! I'm going to my local 6th tier club (SpVgg Landshut who is also fighting relegation) next weekend for the first time in my life as I was inspired by your videos visiting little league clubs. Love your vids, keep it up!

[@steviemick8074]

Another fantastic video lads. I love visits to Germany, as you said the people are so friendly. Ive still never managed a game there yet, but its high on my list of "must do's"

[@ReeseJamPiece.]

I'm a Slough Town fan from Dundee, 463 miles away. Non-league football is beautiful. I love these videos. Cheers.

[@Marky1886Shirts]

That's so random! I unfortunately grew up there ha!

[@CloudyyyEdits]

I’m a Maidenhead fan

[@ReeseJamPiece.]

@@Marky1886Shirts No one ever thinks of football when they think of Slough. Gets a bad rep since it's a new town for the London overspill, has high crime and an ethnic minority majority population. It was the setting for the UK version of the Office and the poem has the line "Come friendly bombs fall on Slough", which says everything you need to know about the town. I follow a Japanese street busking channel who travels around areas of the UK and one of them was Slough. Became fascinated with the place and wanted to learn more. It's a bit of a concrete jungle, reminds me a bit of Basildon or East Kilbride. When you look into it, Slough is really like any other town in Britain and a lot, a lot more affordable than London. Better housing, good schools, lots of good food options. I would rather live there than a London borough to say the least. It's a large place and highly underrated imo. Realized they had a non-league club and started watching them during lockdown back in 2021 and have watched every game since. Slough Town were in a limbo of bad finances and relegation limbo but the fans got together to bring them to their new stadium. It's odd because I have grown a passion to a town and club I have absolutely zero connection with. I live all the way up in the northeast coast of Scotland, knew nothing about the town. Now I'm making plans to visit Arbour Park in the Summer for pre-season. Nice modern stadium, only gripe is it's a little on the small side with just 2,000 capacity. But I'm sure it will grow with time. This is what football is about: locally-owned and supported teams, not money. Smiv did a great video on us a few years ago. We knocked Millwall out the FA Cup way back, held Grimsby to a draw recently too. 10th in the league with a solid squad. Proud to be a Slough fan, 'mon the Rebels.

[@V-O-V]

Germany is the closest to England in terms of footballing culture in Europe in that they also have support all the way through the pyramid which is great to see

[@espben360]

2. Bundesliga also on par with the championship! Both leagues have massive clubs in them now, so basically it’s what the top tier devision of each country used to be

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

Exactly. In France tier 5 would be in front of a couple of dozen, even in Spain clubs don't have much support below the top two divisions. In Portugal, forget it, strictly friends and families only.

[@FlatDerrick]

As a Brit in Germany you couldn't be further from the truth. Very, very different footy cultures in almost every way possible. Ellis even pointed a few of them out. Simlarities pretty much end after attendance sizes and willingness to consume beer (not even consumption of beer, due to English laws). Sweden, Denmark and of course Scotland are the closest footballing experiences to England I've experienced, and I've watched games in most Euro nations.

[@SamSned97]

Mental that the atmosphere was better there than anywhere in England

Since binging your channel 6 months or so ago you reminded me of the joy of live football/sport. I missed if from back home after I moved but since then Ive become basically a regular at Jong Ajax, a really nice night out, cheap and family friendly vibe, and Ajax will have some great players coming through I can claim to know before football manager does. I have a champions league quarter final coming up with Ajax Womens vs Chelsea Womens in the in the Johan Cruyff Arena and had some great fun going to FC Amsterdam in the 5th (I think) tier. Cheers for re-igniting my love of going to live football.

I don’t know, it looked like a 25 Euro spread to me including the beer. Which means you pay 40 Euro for a fifth tier league game. OTH, if they are friendly and welcoming that makes a lot up for it.

[@joshjacobson9846]

Being from the States that looks like an amazing deal. €65 in USD would get you a standard seat, a couple small items of food, and maybe one beer. That’s for mid market MLS. Go to NFL and you’d get inside and maybe a cold hot dog.
