If you’re going to England, be sure to stop by the National Football Museum. It’s in Preston, right next to Preston North End’s stadium, only about 40 miles away form Liverpool. It’s full of wonderful odds and ends (a shirt from the first international football match ever, a leather, gold embossed season ticket from 1897) and the entrance fee is fairly cheap. Definitely a little-visited gem.

Sweet, thanks Gaffer! Good stuff, as the wife and I were thinking of going really evil, and possibly hitting a few other games on the trip at other stadiums…hell, maybe follow the Reds around for a couple weeks.

I plan on updating the travel guide eBook later this summer before the new season starts.

As far as websites that are recommended that feature information about checking out the soccer sights and EPL matches, there aren’t any that I’m familiar with (which is one of the reasons that I decided to write the eBook).

But, if it helps, there are a couple of good ones that focus on stadiums such as http://www.footballgroundguide.com and, although not updated in two years, the helpful http://www.stadiumguide.com/ site.

Cheers,

I tried to add an image from that game, with the red and white, but my computer was acting the maggot, apologies. It was a great send off alright.
