This is a post in collaboration with James Moore.

As any football fan will know, travelling to the games is part and parcel of the excitement. However, if you have a long journey ahead of you, it is vital that you think ahead and have something to keep you busy and entertained while you’re travelling to the match. Likewise, when you actually get to the match and you’re left waiting around in the stands you may find yourself growing impatient as you wait for things to kick off. However, there are ways in which you can keep yourself amused and entertained – and even ways in which you could cut the cost of going to the match – with the right mobile apps and sites.

With so many different apps available these days, travelling to a match and even waiting around in the stands can be far more fun than it ever used to be. Providing you have a mobile device such as your smartphone or tablets, you can make the most of match day by getting into the spirit right from the off. You can even enjoy cut price travel, accommodation and effective route planning to get to the match with a range of travel apps such as National Rail or Travelzoo, which can offer some great deals on hotels if you plan to stay over after the match.

Apps and mobile sites to keep you entertained

When it comes to keeping yourself entertained on your way to the match, when you are waiting around for kick off or even while you are at your hotel, there are some great apps to select from. For instance, the official Manchester City FC app has recently been completely revamped, enabling users to enjoy an enhanced and more exciting experience. You can use this to catch up on the latest news, information, events and more.

If you’re in the mood for some entertainment and you want to set the tone with some football gaming, you can try your hand at games such as FIFA 14, Score! and Flick Kick Football. Alternatively, you might be feeling lucky and be keen to try and win some money to make your day even more exciting, in which case you can head to an online casino site such as Ladylucks where you can look forward to a variety of exciting games and the chance to win loads of cash.

Of course, if you’ve got a long journey ahead of you or you have a few hours to kill in your hotel before the match, you might even want to settle down with a movie or watch a few episodes of your favourite show. The Netflix app is the ideal way to do this, enabling you to watch the shows or movies you want on your smartphone or tablet.
