Advice wanted - 92 clubs in a season?

[drew]

Going to be hard to plan with the Premier League as at the moment, according to BBC, all fixtures are on Saturdays right up until 2nd Dec!

However, should be able to see all Premier league grounds on Sundays, possibly two in one day. Make good use of the early rounds of the league and fa cup!

Downside of this activity is that you only get to see the Albion once at the Amex (well probably only once).

£100 per game average cost (ticket, travel, accommodation sometimes, beer, pies, programme for proof). So £9200 plus contingency - £10,000.00 approx?

No need to plan Selhurst at all, never sell out and food always available in the Sainsbury's stand end

What a f**king horrible waste of time and effort that would be.

Who in their right mind wants to spend their free time traipsing round motorways watching sh*t lower league football matches consisting of teams you don't support in the pissing freezing cold rain in November.

If you don't knock some sense into him then you're not a real friend. Tell him to get some hobbies and a girlfriend, his life will be immeasurably better for it.

I have been doing something a little bit similar (visiting various clubs to see how family-friendly they are).

Be prepared to register with a lot of clubs online to be able to buy tickets, then get emails from them for years afterwards asking you to buy their new kit, while ignoring your unsubscribe requests. Best to set up a separate email address for this, which you can then ignore.

Visit the furthest away ones first, then gradually move nearer. Makes changes of plan easier and means you've done most of the legwork up-front.

Premier League clubs will charge hefty 'membership' fees for the privilege of being able to buy see premier league football, so go to League Cup games, pre-season friendlies and testimonials as they'll be cheaper and won't sell out.

Where clubs are close by, might need to pop off at half-time to another ground.
Actually, thinking about it, police make sure this doesn't happen, so that won't be an option.

I agree with others, just donate £10k to the fund and save many hours of dreary motorway life.

with the TV games on Fridays, Sundays and Mondays, might make it workable? also picking up some Prem games on the thursday european games? but then cant plan whole season due to the tv not being scheduled. and for that matter, winter rescheduling will mess things so will need alternatives. frankly just planning it will be a challenge.

You don't know the half of it, get yerself on Tony Kempsters non league forum, the ground hopping section is a scream, you'll get a bloke from Torquay discussing his following Saturday 'Hop' to Runcorn Linnets vs Cammel Laird (3pm) he's gonna double head this with a 730 ko that night between Didsbury and Chorlton FC vs Flixton, the forum will then go into meltdown as its announced that Wythenshaw Mental Hospital reserves re arranged match vs Knutsford service station XI is now kicking off at 11am.

A friend of my nephew did it and wrote a book about the experience called '92 Pies' by Tom Dickinson published by blacklinepress ( www.92pies.co.uk and www.blacklinepress.com ) . Quite a good read and shows the commitment you will need !

Says he only travelled 3000 miles. That's hardly challenging is it? I did a full season following Brighton and covered over 18,000 miles.
