Title: Useful, but not a travel guide
Review: I bought this book as an American who wants to see an English soccer game on a trip in September. This book is essentially a guide to all of the different English Soccer teams in all of the leagues. It helped give me an idea of where the different clubs are, and what the experience of going to a game might be like. (In particular, I'm steering clear of Millwall because of the history of violence.)But I was expecting (perhaps naively) that because it's a Rough Guide it would be a travel book. It's not -- it's written for the English "away fan", but not the sort-of-bewildered American fan. In particular, the information about tickets is always from the perspective of sitting in the visiting section.Knowing that, however, it's a very comprehensive guide that could only be more useful by being updated for the current '00-'01 season.
Is the review positive or negative?
