'Try telling these fans there’s anything other than a party to be had'

Harry De Cosemo, BBC Sport

I’m at the Old Market Square in central Dortmund, where Newcastle fans are beginning to congregate before the match later.

The Magpies really need a win after defeat in the reverse fixture two weeks ago. But try telling these fans there’s anything other than a party to be had at the moment.

All good natured, plenty of Dortmund shirts dotted around too. They’ve just played the Champions League anthem over the big speaker.
