As more and more new airlines appear in the UK, and as the giants of Ryanair and Easyjet expand their route on an almost weekly basis there has never been a better time to escape for a weekend away to watch some football. Whether it is a short overnighter to watch Thierry Henry playing in Barcelona or a longer weekend break to catch a match or two in Denmark, this site and the accompanying books will help you plan your trip.
The site will take you through a number of the places where cheap weekends away are within the reach of many of us. Our publications are available to buy chapter by chapter and delivered to you in pdf format, or as a complete volume - at a cheaper price that you can find at Amazon or in the high street.
Thinking of getting away to see a match? Check out Footballscores.com to find information on all upcoming fixtures across Europe as well as back here in the UK.
Many people pick up the Sunday papers, or turn over the TV channel to see football being played abroad, and wonder what it is like to experience it first hand. This site will try and guide you on how you can do that at a fraction of the cost that you find elsewhere on the web. We know it can be done, because every listing, every hotel and every bar has been visited by us.
