Tour Day Trip Planner for Traveling Supporters
An itinerary planner for away supporters attending midweek trips, pre-season tours, or regional derbies — bundling cheapest travel, nearest away-friendly pubs, and match ticket collection points into one plan.
Lower-league away supporters planning trips to away grounds across England and Wales
- Multi-modal route builder combining trains, coaches, and shared lifts from supporter forums
- Away-day pub map with community ratings for away-fan welcome
- Ticket collection and stadium turnstile reminders for the specific away end
- Budget tracker across typical away-day spend categories
Pre-season tours and friendly trips like Swindon-Orient draw traveling fans who currently stitch together Trainline, forums, and Google Maps by hand.
Demand is validated by at least 7 live products already serving this exact niche (Follow Away, Awayplanr, Awayday Trips, Away End, One Fine Away Day, AwayPlanner, AwayDays), and Follow Away covers hundreds of English/Welsh grounds at every level — but the market appears saturated with the existing apps serving it.Follow Away — English Football Away Day Guides App ↗Awayplanr — Football Away Trip Planner ↗
Market is heavily contested — at least 8 direct competitors offer the same combination of travel directions, away-friendly pubs, and stadium guides (Follow Away, Awayplanr, Awayday Trips, Away End, One Fine Away Day, AwayPlanner, AwayDays, Away Games with interactive pub maps). Differentiating a new entrant is hard.Awayday Trips — Football & Sports Fan Travel Planner ↗Away Games — Away Day Guides ↗
Follow Away proves a freemium subscription model works at £1/month (Premium tier) with a free single-club tier — proven willingness to pay but extremely thin ARPU at this niche; no premium pricing benchmark found elsewhere.Follow Away Pricing ↗
Lower-league football in England/Wales is structurally stable with 92+ grounds across multiple tiers, and away fan culture is deeply entrenched — but the feature set is now commoditized, so longevity depends on differentiation rather than category growth.Follow Away stadium coverage ↗
Highly feasible — Follow Away already aggregates train times, Google Maps directions, away-friendly pubs, and stadium info for all English/Welsh tiers using public APIs; no licensed data needed.Follow Away Features ↗
