Anybody have a good company to use for a football trip across the water ?

I have went in the (distant) past with Ulsterbus and found them very reasonable and reliable for travel with hotel and good match tickets. Unfortunately they have stopped this service :o

Anyone else use any other company that are reasonably priced ?
I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    I went with ulsterbus years ago, I think they bought season tickets and then just handed out the individual tickets.
    Now its all card based so you need either a ST card holders card or join the membership and apply for your own tickets that way (use your membership cards on the turnstiles).
    I don't know any way of getting tickets other than waiting to see whats released 3 weeks before a game, which is why the only trips/tickets are usually corporate hospitality ones.
    Probably nothing left this season.

    Travel Solutions do trips to Manchester United, not sure about Liverpool. Not the cheapest but always been well organised and never had a problem.

    Have you asked at any of the local (Official) clubs?

    Those clubs tend to meet twice a month, what exactly is discussed?

    Unfortunately my local club meets in a bar and I'd like to take my football mad young son.

    I have been an official supporter with the club in the past so will sign up again to get ticket access.

    The main bug bear I have is the flight price on any match days trebling :(

    Thanks for all the suggestions folk :T

    Just a suggestion Stevey, anytime I've go over to Anfield, I've booked a flexifair with Sleezyjet and changed the dates. Has always worked out cheaper.


    Say book a flexi fair a week before and 2 weeks after the match (the cheapest one going) and change the date to match day and home the day after.
