The Football Tourist

Posted byfootballtouristlondonerPosted inUncategorized

As a football mad Londoner now living in the north I am taking the opportunities presented by my new location to visit many of England’s Football stadiums that I have always wanted to visit but never had the opportunity too before.

Why do this?

  • As an avid football fan for my entire life I have often wondered what the fan’s experience is like in other parts of the country and now I have moved up north I have the chance to find out what I’ve always wanted to know.
  • The blog is about sharing my experiences at these new grounds with other football fans to give them an idea of what to expect when visiting the ground in question. Is the ground worth the travel and what are the pitfalls to watch out for whilst there?
  • I’ll be visiting as many grounds this season as possible across both the Men’s and Women’s games.
  • This blog will serve as the record of my experiences at the grounds I visit and I hope it will inspire other football fans to take the chance to visit some of these grounds as well, maybe to visit teams you’ve never thought about visiting before.

I'm a Londoner by birth, but I now live up in the North West. So I'm taking this opportunity to explore the football of the North and blog about my experiences as a neutral. For most of the matches I am a neutral, but when I have an allegiance to one of the teams I flag that up on my post. I have never been one to do reccies for the games I go to. I just pick a game that looks cool look up the route on google maps and head to the ground. Sometimes I buy the match ticket in advance, but not always. The Blog charts my experience as a mainly first-time visitor to the teams and grounds of the North West football landscape. All opinions in the blog are my own and you are welcome to disagree with them.
