M-Qualifikation Georgien gegen Irland in Mainz
Das WM-Qualifikationsspiel zwischen Georgien und Irland am Samstag, 6. September (Anpfiff 18 Uhr), wird im Mainzer Bruchwegstadion ausgetragen. Der 1. FSV Mainz 05 springt als Organisator kurzfristig als Ersatz für den ursprünglich ausgewählten Spielort Karlsruhe ein. Die Partie wird aufgrund der unsicheren politischen Lage in Georgien an einem neutralen Ort ausgetragen. Der georgische Verband will die Partie in Deutschland absolvieren und hatte sich an den Deutschen Fußball-Bund gewandt.
„Wir freuen uns, dass wir dem georgischen Verband kurzfristig aushelfen können. Auch für unsere Fans ist diese Partie sicher ein interessantes und außergewöhnliches Fußballereignis“, sagt 05-Präsident Harald Strutz. „Darüber hinaus freuen wir uns auf den Besuch von vielen Fans aus Irland, die durch dieses Spiel unsere Stadt kennen lernen.“
Derzeit laufen Abstimmungen mit dem georgischen Verband und dem Weltfußballverband FIFA zu diesem WM-Qualifikationsspiel. Informationen unter anderem zum Kartenvorverkauf folgen, sobald sie vorliegen. Da ausschließlich Sitzplätze zugelassen sind, beträgt die Kapazität des Bruchwegstadions zu dieser Partie nur 10.400 Plätze.

Lads for fecks sake, unless you are travelling on the saturday think outside the box, you do not have to fly to Frankfurst. This is Germany, trains run on time and are fast and reliable. You can fly to fecking Berlin and still make it.

Its mainly just saying that the match is scheduled for a 6pm kick-off (German time) in Mainz as a substitute stadium for Karlsruhe and the president of Mainz 05 is happy to be able to help out the Georgian FA and looks forward to the visit of many Irish fans for the match and they can get to know their city. Information regarding advance ticket sales will be issued soon. The stadium only has a 10,400 capacity. Thats about it really.
We are sorted as we will be in Vienna German trains are great just bloody expensive!!
Here is a translation
World cup qualifiers: Georgia v Ireland in Mains.
The world cup qualifier between Georgia and Ireland on Sat 6 September (kick off 1800), will be played in the Bruchwegstadium in Mainz. 1. FSV Mainz 05 is replacing the Karlsruhe as organisers for this game. The match has been moved to a neutral place due to the political situation in Georgia. The Georgian football association had expressed the wish to play in Germany and approached the German Football Association.
"We are pleased to be able to help the Georgian Football Association at such short notice. For our Fans, this game should also be interesting and unusual", said 05-President Harald Strutz. "Moreover, we are looking forward to welcoming many Irish fans to our city, which they will be able to get to know at the same time."
Currently, the Georgian Football Association and FIFA are voting on issues relating to this game. Further information, for example relating to advance ticket sales, will be made public as soon as decisions have been made. As there will only be seated areas in the stadium, the current max capacity is 10400.
