Eintracht fans fly the Frankfurt eagle
  The fan liaison officer Rudolf Köhler put on his thinking cap as the first person to respond to our questionnaire from Frankfurt. 

Below and on the following page are his answers.

Where's the best place to go for a drink before the game?  Which are the five best pubs near the ground?

Rudolf: The only place near the ground is the Jahnstuben. There are also quite a few good stands selling snacks and fast food. However, they've all got to stay shut during the World Cup.

Which are the best pubs in the city centre for meeting other fans and chatting about football?

Rudolf: There are loads of pubs in Sachsenhausen.

Where do fans meet to celebrate after a win?

Rudolf: In Sachsenhausen.

Where do fans meet after a defeat?

Rudolf: In Sachsenhausen.

Where's a cheap place to stay overnight?

Rudolf: There are cheap hotels around the railway station.  However, due to all the trade fairs, Frankfurt is often all booked up and very expensive.  It's better to spread out into the outlying areas.

Other than your own, which do you rate as the three best World Cup grounds in Germany?

Rudolf: ?

What tips have you got for the best things to eat and drink at half-time?

Rudolf: I wouldn't bother inside the ground - no good and expensive!

Apart from football, what else is there interesting to see or do in the area?

Rudolf: A whole host of stuff! Museums, theatre, excusrions into the surrounding area, and so on.
