Greeks and Germans in Austria for the Clarets

Bad Wimsbach - venue for the second game against SV Wacker Burghausen
The Salonika game will take place on Tuesday 26th July although the venue is still to be confirmed – it will be either Abtenan or Annaberg – and will kick off at 6:15 p.m.

Four days later on Saturday 30th July SV Wacker Burghausen will be the opponents and this is the second successive year we have taken on the Bundesliga 2 side. Last year's was a draw with Branchy scoring the Burnley goal. This year this game will be played at Bad Wimsbach and will kick off at 6:00 p.m.

It looks as though there will be a good number of Burnley fans there this year and Clarets Mad will be there for the second game against the German side although we do hope to have someone at the game against PAOK.

Our trip will also take us to one of the venues from our days in European competition as we visit the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion (formerly Neckar Stadion) in Stuttgart, where Willie Irvine scored in a 1-1 draw in our first ever Fairs Cup tie. The Bundesliga club have been very obliging and are waiting to welcome us.
