St. Pauli's Strikeshackle Scenario
Fancy a bus ride instead of a train trip? That's the vibe for St. Pauli in the face of strike chaos. The second division team was scheduled to arrive via train, specifically the ICE, but here's a catch: a strike looms from Thursday (10 p.m.) to Friday (10 p.m.). The ripple effects could persist until Saturday morning and potentially sabotage the Blitz commute.
Coach Fabian Hürzeler spills the beans: "We've got to see if we're traveling by train or by bus. And we'll make the call on the day of arrival. If we're taking the bus, it'll be on Friday. If we can travel by train, we'll head there on Saturday. We'll have to stay tuned for what develops with the warning strike."
There's one definite point though: post-match, we're boarding a bus. There's simply no other option, as the final ICE train to Hamburg departs mere minutes after the final whistle.
