Almost one in five British football fans will be jetting off for European football clashes with their other half this week, new research has revealed.
With Spurs away in Monaco, Man City in Germany and Southampton jetting off to Prague, many blokes have seized on the opportunity to book a city break with their partner.
According to new research from Expedia, 52 percent have travelled to a football match with their partner in the past, while 16 percent have plans to do so in the future.
Just half of couples will watch a football match together, however. A quarter of partners would prefer to head out to the shops surrounding the stadium, while a fifth take those ninety minutes to head out and explore the city.
But coaxing a partner to the match is easier said than done. A third have to plan a distraction that their partner will enjoy around the time of the match in order to appease them, while a quarter plan a romantic activity to make it up to their beleaguered beloved.
Spain is the most popular away day for Britain’s loved up couples, while France and Italy also provide a draw.
