A group of Kilmarnock fans are planning a very special trip this year.
To mark 15 years since Killie played Kaiserslautern in the Uefa Cup, a bus is set to leave on Thursday, May 1, from the Kadikoi bar on Bonnyton road and travel to Germany.
The group will take in the Kaiserslautern v Dynamo Dresden match on May 4 before travelling back to Kilmarnock that night.
The trip is being organised by life-long Killie supporter Jim Mackenzie, 52, who has fond memories of the tie against the Germans in 1999.
He said: “When Killie were drawn with Kaiserslautern in 99 a lot of Killie supporters made the trip over.
“We arranged a bus there and set on our merry way to Germany for the game.
“When we got there we all gathered at the main square. Some of the stories of how the boys got there were unbelievable.
“The next thing we knew we were being surrounded by Kaiserslautern fans and fearing the worst. But then it just turned into a big party – it was amazing.”
Killie lost both games, 3-0 away and 2-0 at home.
But lifelong friendships were made in the process.
Civil engineer Jim added: “We’ve been going back over to Kaiserslautern one or twice a year since.
“We’ve met some lifelong friends, and they come over to Scotland for a few Kilmarnock games a season as well.
“And some of the boys from Kaiserslautern have been talking about maybe coming over here before we leave and getting the bus with us just for the banter involved.”
Kaiserslautern now play their football in Two Bundesliga, but are on a promotion push this season and are set to play Bayern Munich in the cup in April.
There are still places left on the bus to Germany.
It’s a total cost of £300 for the match ticket, bus and accommodation and for more information you can contact Jim on 07743553956 or the Kadikoi on 01563 534196.
