Secret Match Day Avis 363

All round excellent trip and would definitely recommend. We ended up in Brussels and watched KV Mechelen who I never would have thought of going to see. Great atmosphere and felt like an old school game. Small train journey out to Mechelen but really easy. Stadium was fun as was standing and got chatting to the locals aswell who were really welcoming. Hotel we had was really nice and will definitely look at doing it again sometime soon as the not knowing is part of all the fun.

An awesome trip to Milan to visit the San Siro and watch Inter Milan. The communication with the Secret Match Day team was of an exceptional standard via either email or WhatsAp. The information provided was detailed and accessible. Our only niggle was flight times which limited our time in Milan. Arriving at midnight on Friday and leaving at 7am on Sunday meant only one full day in the city. Nevertheless, a good experience and I would not hesitate to use this company again.

Just back from Norway as a 70th birthday suprise off my son,s and daughters who found out about SMD and decided it would be something I would enjoy and they were right. Once I passed on the date I was wanting to go and a few countries to avoid SMD did the rest my wife and I ended up in Oslo to watch Valerenga v Viking who I must admit I had never heard of but the game itself was an experience the Valerenga fans were fantastic. The only downside was the price of a pint £10.50.
I would definitely consider another trip with SMD

I was personally a bit sceptical about the whole idea of a mystery football trip. However when I received the details of where we were going it turned out to be a fantastic weekend. The 4 of us went to Turin to watch the mighty Juventus v Lecce. The atmosphere in the allianz stadium was amazing. Our flights were excellent too. Flying into Turin but returning from Milan which meant we got to fit in another stadium tour. The one and only San Siro stadium. Also the hotel we stayed at was basic but clean and exactly what we needed, and the staff were very helpful. I would definitely consider doing another trip again sometime 👍⚽👍⚽

What a brilliant weekend in Germany we had! We stayed in Dusseldorf, about 10 minutes walk from the train station - lovely hotel! We had tickets for Monchengladbach versus Freiburg, which was a super game to attend! An absolutely fantastic atmosphere and a cracking day in the sunshine! Mixing in with both sets of fans before and after the game was a fun experience too! All of the information supplied by Secret Match Day was spot on, it made the whole trip super easy. We ended up with 3 days in the country so wanted to make the most of it, so booked a ground tour back at Monchengladbach the following day which was absolutely superb. Seeing the stadium behind the scenes on a regular day was excellent, an experience that me and my son will never forget! We then took the opportunity to visit Gelsenkirchen which is about 45 minutes away on the train, and took in another tour this time at the Veltins Arena, home of Shalke 04. It's so easy to get around from Dusseldorf on the trains, it would have been crazy not to try and see as much as possible in the time we had! Our last day was spent with a quick visit to Leverkusen with a trip to the Bayarena, then down to Cologne and out to the Rhein Energie Stadion - again making full use of the excellent transport links in the city. It couldn't have been a better weekend!! Can't wait for our next trip!

First experience using Secret Match Day and it was faultless. Went for the 'obscure' option and we ended up in Poland watching Slask Wroclaw v Motor Lublin. Destination guide received was really good with all details required - flight details, how to get to our hotel, how to get to the game, team form details and lots of other things to do. Timings all worked well and we were able to enjoy the city, culture and Polish food and drink. Hotel was really good and we met some great people. Will definitely be booking with SMD same time next year. Thank you.

Group of Dads n Lads on our 2nd trip. This time we ended up in Oslo, Norway. We watched Valerenga v Viking. An excellellent experience again with good flight times, excellent accomadation and only short journeys to all. Excellent comunication and info. Cant wait for our 3rd trip .

Everything went to plan. We were delighted to have drawn a trip to Dusseldorf to see Borussia Monchengladbach v Freiburg. The seats in the stadium were excellent and the atmosphere was the same. We did not really have to do any planning as everything was detailed for us by the SMD team including travel details from our hotel to the stadium. Dusseldorf is probably not one of Germany's great tourist citys but it is a very friendly city, virtually everyone speaks perfect English and with a very vibrant old town and riverside, its a great location for a football trip. Thanks to the SMD for a brilliant weekend. We will definitely be having another trip next season.

First time using Secret Match Day, 6 dads n lads all going away together and it was absolutely brilliant. We got Monchengladbach v Freiburg in Düsseldorf, and what an experience it was! Hotel was better than expected, near to the train station so easy to get around, good flights too. Can't wait for the next one!!

Fabulous weekend away in Krakow watching Cracovia vs Slask Wroclaw… hotel and location was perfect!

Along with a mate I have just returned from a Secret Match Day Obscurer weekend in Pescara Italy. We had a fantastic time. The Serie C football was great and the home fans were loud & passionate about their team. Pescara also offered a couple of museums & a stunning sandy beach along with lovely restaurants & craft beer bars who specialised in Italian beers. I would not hesitate to book another weekend with this company.

Amazing weekend celebrating my 50th birthday with 17 friends. Poznan was fantastic, food and beers great value and a vibrant nightlife. Accommodation, although a little out of town, was better than we expected and ideal for a large group in twin and triple rooms. The match itself was a fantastic experience, we were in the home end with fireworks and flares all around, very loud and just what we were after atmosphere wise. Flights were well scheduled to allow time to explore the day before and after the match. Well organised Secret Match Day. We will be booking again soon 👍

Just back from just under three days in Marseille. Had a fantastic time, everything was organised fantastically. SMD communications were super helpful too when I lost my booking info. Already looking at booking again.

A good experience with SMD! We just got back from Milan and had a wonderful time at San Siro. The only thing I would say is that the original flights we were booked onto really did not maximise the time we could spend in the city (a very late outbound flight on Saturday evening) and so I had to pay extra to change them. It did all end up being pretty expensive but hey ho. It wouldn’t put me off booking again, perhaps for a ‘sillier’, cheaper non-Top 4 weekend, as the general product is great and well produced.

First time Secret Matchday booking and this will take some beating. Absolutely unreal experience taking our godson away for his 21st birthday. First time to Poland too and while we had some reservations about Ryanair and Stansted the travel was all top-notch, no delays and quickly through. Poznan was beautiful, cheap and appealing - we opted to get our own accommodation which was one street away from the main square.

The whole process with SMD was perfect though and the documentation and info provided was spot-on. I was worried the match tickets might not be in the best area of the ground but how wrong could I be?! We were bang smack in the middle of the home end, second tier behind the goal. Some ultras even came down each row with tins collecting for their tifo funds! Got given massive flags to wave and the pyros got lit up around us as the team came out.

Poznan won 2-0, a solid performance, however we were surprised by the lacklustre celebrations when they scored - no limbs!

£3-4 pints around Poznan and a lively nightlife scene topped this perfect trip off and one we wouldn’t have made if it wasn’t for Secret Matchday, thank you!

We had a lovely weekend away to Lille to see Lille vs Lens. Unfortunately, we had some trouble with our return travel due to strikes in Belgium. However, Secret match day were very helpful with finding alternative routes and responded very quickly whenever we had any questions. Thank you!!

Thank you Secret Match Day 💪 we had a amazing experience in Germany 🇩🇪

The destination guide really helped before & during our visit to Dusseldorf.

When we had an issue with our flight tickets you responded & resolved it quickly.

Will definitely use SMD again soon!

What an experience, great communication throughout and planning provided was over anything we expected, would highly recommend, and we will be going on many more based of our first experience.

SMD delivered on everything - we opted for a Big 4 package ex Dublin and ended up in Turin for Torino and Milan. Early & late flight times meant we had three days to spend in this great city. All the detail landed exactly as expected - will be delighted to use SMD again and recommend to friends. Well done folks, this is a great product.
