Soccer while in England

My wife and I will be traveling to London and Birmingham, between June 12-23, 2009 with our three children (11, 11, 13) and would love to see a Football (soccer) game.

Any suggestions on league and/or schedule while there? Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt - The football season usually finishes in late May - so you won't be able to see a premiership game, unfortunately

There is no professional football game played in June. Every other year, there is an international tournament (European Championship or World Cup) played in June/July, for which England USUALLY qualifies and every game is televised, but there's nothing in 2009.

to make up for the lack of football you may be able to do a Stadium tour.
friends did the Emirates Stadium tour (Arsenal) earlier this year and very much enjoyed it.
