Most of the tourists that come to England know that the country is synonymous for one thing- football. The passion for the game in the country is unique, and no other place in the world comes close to matching the love for the game. However, despite the most popular clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool playing outside of London, tourists who come to London are often stuck for a game to see, while saving their money at the same time. But, which teams offer the best value for money in London?
Leyton Orient
The club will begin the new season back in League 2, but by no means will there be a celebratory atmosphere in the early part of the season following the tragic death of their manager Justin Edinburgh. However, the club is a family friendly place to watch football and the most that supporters will be expected to pay is £40 for a matchday ticket, and that is for a seat in the gallery.
However, the cheapest tickets for adults are £21, while concession range from £15 to £30; both of which are for the North or South stand. Under 18’s tickets will be £5, while under 11’s can watch the game for free. If you aren’t interested in watching a match from the fourth tier of English football, then you can see Tottenham Hotspur Reserves play here instead.
West Ham United
Tickets for Arsenal and Chelsea fixtures can be hard to come by due to the popularity of the clubs, so the next best option is to head to the stadium that was formerly called Olympic Stadium. West Ham United famously moved to the arena in 2016 following the demolition of Upton Park. The stadium has finally been made to feel like home following crowd trouble marred the early period of their stay.
The ticket prices for the upcoming 2018-19 season have been lowered to encourage more spectators to the games and keep fans happy. Games are separated into different categories depending on the opponents that they are playing. The cheapest of the three is Category C, where tickets for adults will cost £25, and £12.50 for pensioners and under 21’s.
There are an array of activities surrounding the stadium, including the Westfield shopping centre which houses one of the largest casinos in the country. The Aspers Casino is the best place for a pre-match and post-match drink, and punters could take advantage of roulettepro.com to find the best tips to win big of their visit there.
Metropolitan Police
If you’re visiting London to get the most real feeling of being at a football match, then you shouldn’t look past going to The Met’s Imber Court. Granted, it’s not the Emirates Stadium, but the stadium which houses just 3,000 fans gives a unique experience to fans. It is housed on 90 acres of parkland surrounded by a health and fitness club.
The seventh tier of football in England is ever-improving, and while it’s not the quality of the Premier League, the standard is still entertaining. Supporters can expect to pay £9 for adults tickets, while it’s £5 for concession and £1 for under 16’s.
