This October, Global Sports Experiences hosted an extraordinary EPL Fan Experience in Manchester, UK, giving fans the opportunity to dive into the heart of English football with exclusive access to iconic stadiums, unforgettable matches, and the vibrant city culture of Manchester. Here’s a look back at this unique journey.
The group’s accommodations in central Manchester set the perfect tone for the trip. Guests enjoyed the convenience of a 4-star hotel near the famous Arndale Shopping Center and the lively Printworks district, known for its array of dining, pubs, entertainment, and nearby landmarks like the Manchester Arena, National Football Museum, and historic Manchester Cathedral.
A major highlight of the trip was the exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of two legendary stadiums. At Old Trafford—the storied home of Manchester United—the group had a private guide to lead them through the club’s rich history. At the Etihad Stadium, the group got an exclusive look at the executive area where the players arrive before the game. One attendee shared, “My favorite part, besides being dazzled by the pitch and stands, was the Locker Room at Etihad, the real locker room where our favorite players get dressed for the game! We walked down the mirrored steps that the players use to enter the pitch.”
The matchday experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Fans attended Manchester United’s game with exclusive hospitality access at the club’s famous Museum, enjoying complimentary drinks and a variety of food options before and after the game. The next day, the group headed to the Molineux Stadium for Wolves’ face-off with Manchester City, securing seats right behind the goal. “Nick Dunbar of Global Sports Experiences did a fabulous job in getting the hospitality tickets for this match,” a guest remarked. “We walked straight from the gift shop to the stadium, and security was easier due to the smaller number of people at other gates.” Once inside, they enjoyed the top-tier hospitality suite overlooking the field, as another fan noted, “We were one of the first people into the hospitality suite, which takes up most of the area on the goal line, giving us a second-level view right over the field.”
Beyond Manchester, fans ventured to Liverpool for the “Magical Mystery Tour,” a two-hour journey exploring Beatles landmarks, including a visit to the iconic Cavern Club. To cap off the Liverpool experience, fans toured Anfield, Liverpool FC’s world-renowned stadium, walking in the footsteps of legends in this cathedral of football.
From stadium tours and matchday hospitality to seamless accommodations and personal touches, the October EPL Fan Experience with GSE offered fans an experience beyond the ordinary. For football fans dreaming of complete immersion in the game they love, these trips with GSE offer memories that will last a lifetime. Looking ahead, GSE’s upcoming fan experiences promise even more exclusive adventures, inviting fans worldwide to make the journey unforgettable.
