With the cost of rail fares and the uncertainty that you can even book a ticket or that they'll even run-on Saturday, how many are choosing to fly to Europe over a trip in the UK?
I've just priced a trip to the North East for early December and before any expenses like food and other visits I won't get much change out of £250 for a League Two match and hotel for one night.
If I look at prices to Berlin I can get a flight for £50 a train for £30 and hotels for 2 nights £80, match in Bundesliga £20
Not far off a similar price for two days
There are cheaper to other countries but i've only done a quick serc
Travel time isn't much different and its two days in Berlin over Hartlepool.
I'd gather if anyone's looking at a weekend away and wants as to be certain they'll get there and back a trip over a weekend in Europe is comparable or can be cheaper than one in the UK. And if you live near an airport a lot less hassle getting there.
