Although I won't be doing this trip (I have a job now), I am planning to visit London for the Cowboys vs Jaguars game on November 9th and will try to see Man City at Loftus Road the day before, so if you are in London at that time maybe we can meet up.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218333922385511590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233369948762796892.post-78117399561154255272014-08-16T19:58:58.767+09:002014-08-16T19:58:58.767+09:00If you are prepared to watch some teams compete in...If you are prepared to watch some teams compete in UEFA competitions, you can get round the 20 clubs a little quicker and return to the US quicker (saving money), plus tie in the first of Wembley's 3 NFL games. I've tried to change as little as possible from your original schedule in case you had already started acquiring tickets and have posted my amended schedule below.<br /><br />Aug 16 WBA Vs. Sunderland (The Hawthorns)<br />Aug 17 Newcastle vs. Man City (St. James' Park)<br />Aug 18 Burnley vs. Chelsea (Turf Moor)<br /><br />Aug 23 Crystal Palace vs. West Ham (Selhurst Park)<br />Aug 24 Sunderland vs. Man United (Stadium of Light)<br />Aug 25 Man City vs. Liverpool (Etihad Stadium)<br />Aug 26 Celtic Vs. Maribor (Celtic Park) - I stuck this in as something else which may interest you, the Champions of Scotland Vs. the Champions of Slovenia, I'm planning to go too, I should add.<br />Aug 27 Arsenal Vs. Besiktas (Emirates Stadium)<br />Aug 28 Tottenham Hotspur Vs. AEL Limassol (White Hart Lane) or Hull City Vs. Lokeren (KC Stadium)<br /><br />Aug 30 Swansea vs. West Brom (Liberty Stadium)<br />Aug 31 Aston Villa vs. Hull (Villa Park)<br /><br />Sep 3 England Vs. Norway (Wembley Stadium) (I put this here as it's in London when you plan to be - England are away to Switzerland on the 8th too!)<br /><br />Sep 13 Liverpool vs. Aston Villa (Anfield) or Southampton Vs. Newcastle (one of two chances to go to St Mary's I listed both in case you have already bought tickets for Anfield or Arsenal - see below for that match)<br />Sep 14 Man United Vs. QPR (Old Trafford)<br />Sep 15 Hull vs. West Ham (The KC Stadium)<br />Sep 16 UEFA Champions League (UCL) match day 1/4 One of Chelsea/Man City/Liverpool will be at home across the four days, with Arsenal being at home on the 4th day should they beat Besiktas <br />Sep 17 UCL match day 2/4 As above<br />Sep 18 UEFA Europa League (UEL) match day 1/2. Everton will be at home on one of these two days, and Hull/Spurs will be at home on one should they beat win in the last round.<br /><br />Sep 20 QPR vs. Stoke (Loftus Road Stadium) 1245 followed by West Ham vs. Liverpool (Boleyn Ground) 1730<br />Sep 21 Leicester City Vs. Man United (King Power Stadium) <br /><br />Sep 27 Arsenal vs. Spurs (Emirates Stadium) or Southampton Vs. QPR (See above - I listed both Southampton matches in case you had already acquired Arsenal tickets for this match or the Anfield game above)<br />Sep 28 NFL: Raiders Vs. Dolphins 1800 (Wembley Stadium)<br />Sep 29 Stoke vs. Newcastle (Britannia Stadium)<br />Sep 30 UCL match day 3/4 As above<br />Oct 1 UCL match day 4/4 As above<br />Oct 2 UEL match day 2/2 As above<br /><br />Oct 4 Tottenham Vs. Southampton (White Hart Lane)<br />Oct 5 Chelsea vs. Arsenal (Stamford Bridge)<br /><br />You then have the opportunity to go home earlier (and presumably make things cheaper!), should you not have already booked flights - having visited all 20 Premier League ground (all for a EPL match beside Goodison Park, which would have been UEFA Europa League) and had the opportunity to visit some of the big teams twice by seeing their respective UEFA matches in addition to a EPL match. Should you be booked in the UK for the following weekend already, I've included the international matches that are occurring in the British Isles that weekend too - plus England's away match that weekend.<br /><br />Oct 9 England Vs. San Marino<br />Oct 10 Wales Vs. Bosnia<br />Oct 11 Scotland Vs. Georgia or Ireland Vs. Gibraltar or Northern Ireland Vs. Faroe Islands<br />Oct 12 England @ Estonia<br /><br />I really enjoy reading your blog from the UK, so as you plan to make a trip over here the least I thought I could do was to help you with your tightening your schedule should that be a requirement you would seek to make in an ideal world!!!<br /><br />All the best,<br />Philip BrownPhilip Brownhttp://www.twitter.com/BrownPhilipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233369948762796892.post-28849264413581444552014-07-01T14:11:09.794+09:002014-07-01T14:11:09.794+09:00Awesome!Awesome!Bipohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672164875328104689noreply@blogger.com
