In the relegation match between the 16th-placed team of the Football Bundesliga and the third-placed team of the second league, 1. FC Heidenheim and SV Elversberg will face each other on Thursday and Monday respectively. The fact that neither of these are heavyweights of German football has not escaped the notice of Deutsche Bahn. The company saw an opportunity and even had a joke ready.

Deutsche Bahn apparently has no worries about trains being too crowded. But 1. FC Heidenheim didn't want to let that slide and had a well-intended tip for all travel-hungry fans. After that, the amusing beef went to the next round.

However, one thing the social media managers of DB had forgotten in their high spirits. Elversberg, or rather the municipality of Spiesen-Elversberg, doesn't even have a train station. At the last stop before Elversberg, the fans would have to switch to the bus or walk. If Elversberg were to be promoted, it would probably be high time to connect the municipality of Spiesen-Elversberg to the railway network.
