Football fans are complaining about not being able to find places to stay near football stadiums. This reduces the number of supporters able to attend away games.

Football fans are becoming increasingly frustrated by the difficulty in locating affordable accommodation near football stadiums. This is reducing away game support as supporters need affordable rooms near stadiums to be able to stay a day or two in the �away� town to justify the hassle and expense involved in long distance travel; just going for a 90 football match does not make sense for many.

According to MatchHotels.com Director Ben Jackson, �Fans want to support their teams but escalating ticket prices and travel expenses do not add up financially for 90 short minutes of action. When fans can combine an away game with a weekend away the economics make more sense and teams get more travelling support.�

The few travel companies that offer football related services usually bundle match tickets and accommodation into an expensive package and cater almost exclusively to Premiership teams and international matches. This is fine for Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United fans on a lavish budget. Not so good for the vast majority of fans.

A small selection of football clubs offer limited travel services. Bookings are usually non-refundable and non-transferable. Fans are penalised when they cannot make the trip. Fans are the lifeblood of the game and deserve more than highly priced, inflexible travel options.

Launched August 8th 2007, MATCHhotels.com reduces the cost and unbundles football travel packages in the same way that the package holiday has been unbundled by no-frills airlines and accommodation-only hotel reservation companies.

MATCHhotels.com helps football fans locate accommodation near football stadiums on an interactive map. Fans can check availability and compare prices from several hotel reservations websites to get the cheapest room rates and book online in minutes.

On August 10th, MATCHhotels marks its launch and the beginning of the season with a foosball match at Bar Kick, Shoreditch, London. Football fans should also mark their diaries for the upcoming �Blonde VS Brunettes� hot females football match. For more information visit their website.
