How to Do Football Away Days Right

Theres nothing quite like heading to a football game. The atmosphere, the crowd, the joy, its all something that simply cannot be replicated or replaced. As football fans, some of the best days in your life will be ones where you see some great goals scored in the flesh. Of course, there is nothing quite like sitting among your team’s home crowd surrounded by your fellow fans. However, that doesnt mean that away days cannot be extremely fun, too. 

Away days really are a unique experience. The journey, the new stadium, the new city, its all part of the excitement of the away day. At the end of the day, what you will be hoping for the most is a positive result. Theres not much you can exactly do to help attain that however, bar giving your support to the team. What you can do is make the most of your day. If you are heading on a football away day, here are some ways you can do it right. 

Get There the Right Way 

Part of the excitement of the away day is the journey getting there. Some away days will see you travel to local rivals, while others will send you across the country. Either way, they are equally exciting. You are going to have two options when choosing your mode of transport to the game. First of all, you could get on an organized coach for the game. This is a really great and fitting experience. A bus full of all your team’s supporters getting ready to go into enemy territory. Nothing quite sets the mood like a coach.

Alternatively, you could drive up. This puts the journey more in your control. Get some of your closest friends and head up together, enjoying the journey on your way. You can even plan on going up even earlier, this way you can take in some of the town or city you are heading to. If you are constantly driving to away games, you want a car that will be able to keep up with you. If you need to upgrade, check out a used car Essex dealership to make sure you can get to the stadium in style. 

Bring Food 

Supporting your club is hungry work. Some of these trips may have you on the coach or behind the wheel for a few hours, it can be a really good idea to bring some food for the road. Although the town and stadium will have food, its best to fuel yourself throughout the day. This is especially recommended for those having a few beers. 

Do Something After the Match 

As mentioned above, you cant control the outcome of the game. Sometimes this can leave football supporters very disappointed. A good way to prevent this is to plan to do something after the game. This way, even if things do not go your way, you have something to anticipate. You could plan on heading to a bar, stay in a hotel, or even see some sights.
