TWO MEN IN SEARCH OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME

The Cold End recommends you take a look at the fantastic website 'Two Men in Search of The Beautiful Game'. It follows the travels of Daniel and Tom fans from Arsenal and Tottenham who like many people they have been driven away from the Top Flight game due to the rise in ticket prices.Their website describes as follows with a link below -

"One Spurs fan, Daniel, and one Arsenal fan, Tom, from each side of the North London football divide, in search of the Beautiful Game. We hope with the aid of our blog, photos and videos we will be able to share with you our experiences of different leagues, grounds, fans and atmospheres.

Tom a life long Gooner since the age of 9, after his Dad took him to a home again against West Ham. Tom admits not remembering much of the game, but says he will never forget the passion of the fans and the songs being sung.

Daniel has been a Spurs fan for nearly 20 years. Not really from a football family, and cursed with two Chelsea supporting uncles, it was not until a friend at school took him to his first game in January 1996 against Sheffield Wednesday, and he was instantly hooked.

Like many fans the both of us have become disillusioned with the top flights apparent only goal to become bigger and richer, and by this killing the atmosphere in it's wake. We are both ex season ticket holders who have been priced out of following our teams, and are saddened by the apparent loss of that all important connection between a club and it's supporters.

We hope by exploring the lower league's we will rediscover that supporter - club relationship, enjoy the atmosphere and match day together. Hopefully with out breaking the bank at £60 a ticket!"
