TT No.48: Ian Hill - Saturday 20th October 2012; Dresdener SC v SV See 90; German Saschen Liga Ost;

Score: 2-2; Admission: 3 Euro; Programme: 1 euro; Attendance: 194; Rating: 2. 

 

Getting there:

This was a bonus game with the Dynamo Dresden game kicking off at 1.00pm and this a 3.00pm kick off a quick tram journey was in order using line 10. The Heinz Steyer Stadion is located near Dresden Mitte station and can easily been seen from passing trains.

 

The Stadium:

It is also used by Dynamos under 23 side and was previously the first stadium of the clubs first team. Despite being an athletics venue it is a great old ground. Outside is a plaque which details the world records that were broken by East German athletes in the 70's and 80's. The previous capacity was 50,000 but I'm not sure what it is now. Only one side of the stadium was open which is the main seated stand. It’s a bit worn in places but has distinct character. Large amounts of deep terracing surround the track and there is another old seated stand which is located on the track back straight. A large scoreboard is in place but it wasn't being used for this game. Drinks are available from the bar under the stand.

 

I had bought some items in the Dynamo Dresden shop. These were contained in a DD carrier bag. I was informed that I couldn’t take the bag into the stadium as anything with the Dynamo logo was banned inside. We compromised with me wrapping my jacket around the bag.

 

Programme:

Programmes are available from the ticket both in the stadium car park. It’s a great issue for this level of football with the 16 page professionally printed full colour glossy issue costing 1 euro.

 

The Game:

Not very good. Being kind the standard of football was rubbish.
