What are you doing next season?

[ElusiveEd]

I have a mate who in his spare time travels to anything between 2 and 6 games a week, sometimes more.

 

One day he will be at somewhere like Husbands Bosworth FC or Lutterworth Town, 2 days later he'll be in a remote part of say, Norway or Greece or Romania or anywhere really, watching minor league games and then he'll pop up at Bayern Munich or Galatasaray or maybe a Spanish league game followed by some pretty much unheard of non-league teams' grounds similar to Husbands Bosworth or Lutterworth Town in whatever country he is in. 

 

Last year he visited 70+ grounds around the world (He also works in aviation which makes it a lot easier) everywhere from a tiny club in the wilderness of Suffolk to The Maracana Stadium in Rio.

 

Apparently it's a "thing" that a group of like minded friends do. They get together and look at what fixtures are on and how many games they can fit in in a certain country (Usually anywhere throughout Europe) over a period of say 3 days. Sometimes timing it to take in 3 games each day, in non, minor and that countries' major leagues.

 

Once the local small club fans know who they are and what they do and how far they have travelled, the welcome and hospitality they get is incredible. Imagine a group of say 10 or 15 Brits turn up to watch your village side play and finding out they came over especially to do it! 

 

He's asked me to come along with them.

 

I have to say, I am intrigued!

They had a great season just gone, plus Stead + Ndlovu we’re signed from Brackley, both doing very well for them.

 

Some good news for Leicester (+ Barnet) to keep us all busy… Panini rumoured to be doing a football album for the EFL!
