On The Ball Travel - For All Your Sport Home & Away

On The Ball Travel - For All Your Sport Home & Away Providing Coach Travel To Sporting Events in The UK & Abroad - Follow Us On Twitter (Yeah England were playing in Slovakia).

On The Ball Travel, located in Wolverhampton was formed to provide travel packages to sporting events across Europe. We are not an overpriced corporate travel company and I do not supply the match tickets. I just do my very best to source a travel package that is both affordable and good quality. About Me

My name is Mark Griffiths and I am a 54 year old married man and a passionate supporter of t

he England Football Team. I have been travelling abroad to watch England since 2002 (Why Did I leave it so long?). In general I just love sport and organizing events, hence I put the 2 together and came up with On The Ball Travel. Throughout my time travelling to watch England I have picked up invaluable experience and spent many many hours and much more trawling the internet to find the cheapest and best way to get to the games without being out of the country for days on end! (Going missing for days just brasses the wife and kids off)
I remember flying Stansted to Frankfurt for £20 return because it was cheap! Me and my England travel mate Hobbo underestimated the 10 hour drive from Frankfurt to Bratislava!! By the time we had travelled to Stansted, flown to Frankfurt and then hired a car to drive 10 hours to Bratislava and back it proved more expensive than flying direct! Did we learn our lesson? No! 10 years later we are still searching for the cheapest and best (normally long winded) routes, so I know from firsthand experience what most fans are doing when they plan an away trip to follow their team. I have enjoyed my experiences but it has taken 10 years to realize there are easier ways to get to a game. It is for this reason I have taken the step to organize my own trips to not just England games but for supporters wishing to travel to Champions League and Europa league games and Heineken Cup games for the Rugby. No matter what the event, I have vast experience and the enthusiasm to organize a trip to cater for supporters just wishing to travel to see their team in action

ROME UPDATE!

If you have booked on and not received my e mail regarding the now one way trip back to Rome please contact me!

If you have not seen the reasons why Rome coach companies have bailed then check out these! Safest way now is train from Rome to Napoli and a coach back directly from the stadium as we will no doubt be kept in until streets are cleared and then get a police es**rt away from Naples

North Macedonia Away - Potential coach from Pristina. Iv been asked by a few if this is possible as they loved the place when we played there a couple of years back. As Dean is doing Tirana and Paul Thessaloniki then iv looked at this as an alternative. All I need for now is genuine interest. Iv a coach on hold for a match day return leaving Pristina approx 1pm however once flight schedules are out I can look at what flights land on the day of the game. Skopje is approximately 90km away. Also the night after the England game Kosovo are at home to Belarus if anyone was thinking of taking in another game
