Events cancelled as storm forecast ahead of Scotland's Euros clash11 minutes agoBy Steven Godden,trabzonspor haberleri kimin BBC NewsShareForecast for Scotland vs Switzerland Euros match in CologneA severe weather warning has forced the cancellation of pre-match events ahead of Scotland's next Euro 2024 match in Germany.Both official UEFA fan zones where matches are being shown on big screens are closed. A ferry service connecting the two fan sites on either side of the Rhine river has also stopped running.Heavy rain, hail and storm gusts are forecast ahead of Scotland's second match of the tournament, against Switzerland, on Wednesday. But German officials insist the city is well prepared for an estimated 60,000 Tartan Army supporters now arriving from Munich, where they enjoyed better weather despite the disappointing result against the hosts. Walk north along the banks of the Rhine from Central Station and the route is lined with row after row of portable toilets. Not pretty perhaps but an unmissable sign of the city’s preparations to hostSteve Clarke’s side in their second match of the Euros campaign.The authorities in Cologne say they’ve been getting ready for this tournament for six years. Tartan Army misery over Munich fan zone 'shambles'Scotland fans fume over accommodation 'out of a horror film'Two official UEFA fans zones showing all the tournament matches on big screens have been set up on opposite sides of the river with a combined capacity of around 20,000. That’s not enough, however, to cope with the numbers expected to arrive for Wednesday night’s match where Scotland fans will outnumber their Swiss opponents by three to one. It’s led the organisers to create another viewing area capable of catering for an additional 50,000 supporters.City officials in Cologne believe they have enough facilities for an expected 60,000 Scottish supportersGregor Timmer from the City of Cologne Department of Sports explains this facility - which will also be set up for England’s match against Slovenia next Tuesday - is equipped with six giant screens featuring English language commentary as well as food, drink and, as we’ve seen, rows of toilets.“We are well prepared and everybody can feel secure and happy here in Cologne” he says.Ashley and Brian Burke from Clydebank are basing themselves in Cologne for the tournamentScotland fans Brian Burke and wife Ashley from Clydebank arrived in the city last Thursday. It’s their base for the tournament and they describe their experience so far as “really good”On Sunday the couple watched the Netherlands versus Poland match on the big screen in the city centre fan zone. “That was well set up,” Brian says. “Really decent prices as well. Hot dog and a beer for less than 10 Euros. It’s really good to see lots of fans from different areas and the Germans have taken to the Tartan Army really well.”Daniel Greig from Kilmarnock is impressed by the cityDaniel Greig from Kilmarnock agrees. “We’ve actually been pretty impressed with Cologne so far, he says “I can’t fault it. There’s all nations about now, everybody’s mingling and it’s great.”Alan and Tracy Campbell’s experience hasn’t been so positive. The couple, who’ve travelled from Vancouver, watched Scotland versus Germany in the Heumarkt fan zone. Alan and Tracy Campbell had mixed experiences watching the first gameAlan says getting a drink or going to the toilet was “easy enough” despite the venue reaching capacity, forcing organisers to turn fans away. However, he says the atmosphere “changed big time at kick off because we were heavily outnumbered.”“The German fans started booing the national anthem of Scotland,” adds Tracy.“People were coming up and booing you because you were a Scotland fan. The past couple of days we’ve been in its been a better atmosphere but Friday was uncomfortable.”Around the corner from fan zone, the tables outside the "Tunnes and Schal" pub are full of singing Scots.“Good singers” remarks Aly Sabri who works there - albeit with a wry smile. He says the tournament is good for business and on the whole the fans are well-behaved and courteous.Aly Sabry says there's no danger of the beer running outAs a brewery city he thinks Cologne will have no problem coping with thousands of thirsty Scotland fans. “There’s no danger of running out,” he confidently predicts.The footballing influx isn’t so good however for Santiago Jesus who runs the nearby Sausalitos cocktail bar. Plenty of people outside in the square drinking 5 euro beers but from his perspective too few buying 15 euro cocktails.“So many people outside watching football not many people coming inside” he observes ruefully.“We don’t make the same numbers we normally make.”ScotlandRelatedForecast for Scotland vs Switzerland Euros match in Cologne17 mins agoScotlandTimeline: The SNP finances controversy1 hr agoScotland's papers: 'Tories turn to Johnson' and 'Hansen's fightback'4 hrs agoScotland
