Move over Manchester United...

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Football tourism is a growing industry. For a price, specialist companies will ferry you from where ever you live to matches at famous stadiums all over the world. For many, watching Manchester United, Real Madrid or AC Milan in the flesh is the realisation of a life times dream. However if that all seems slightly too glamorous then one man is offering a rather different match day experience. Israeli Perry Shaler is the founder of the Cinderella Project and he organises trips for fans from Israel to watch English football but instead of a trip to Arsenal he'll take you to Accrington and move over Chelsea, here come Cheltenham Town.
