    Seria A has a regular Monday night game that can be announced just 9 days previously. Tends not to be the top 4 or so. 

    Ouch! That's not good - I didn't know that.

    The Bundesliga tried it but backed down after fan protests.

    Watched HMP Belmarsh v HMP Wandsworth when I was last away. Good feisty local derby. Some crunching tackles. Not many there though. 
    I collect badges, get me one on your next visit mate and I'll collect on a visiting order.

    How do people guarantee that games don't get changed. Be frustrating to book a weekend trip to somewhere in Spain only to find the game suddenly changed to FRiday for TV? 
    I would normally book a Friday am flight out and a Sunday pm return.

    In the event of a game switched you have time to go to another game.

    Also you can make educated guesses around European fixtures eg if they're in Europe on Tuesday, they'll play the Friday or Saturday before. 

    If it's a league that gives medium notice notice (eg Germany, Poland) you can wait for the fixtures TBC before booking flights.  

    For less reliable leagues you can also build your trip around a European fixture.

    Prague is your friend for a virtual guarantee of getting football in without checking up before you go.
    You only need to know if it is an international weekend which would reduce the amount of fixtures available.

    No doubt big boys HMP Belmarsh, being a cat A, scoff at the idea of a midweek replay ignoring how important the incresed revenue is to cat B teams like Wandswortg.

    All jokes aside I once went as a charity thing to see a prison match and was shocked at how good the standard was, I asked the governor how this could be? He told me that everyone on the prisons team had trials at one point.

    Got loads of clients of my business who are sponsors of clubs all over Europe. Accor sort me with tickets to PSG games and seen them a few times in the Champions League. Been to Bayern, Inter at the San Siro, the El Classico at the Bernabeu.

    Usually combine a family holiday with a new ground with my son. Going to PSV v Utrecht in a couple of weeks. First Dutch league game
