World Cup 2026: How much would it cost to go as an England or Scotland fan?

Published

on

Our two England fans fly out of Heathrow on Monday, 15 June with return flights to JFK in New York costing just over £500 each – which is good value.

With the Three Lions’ final group game taking place in New Jersey, it is the most cost-effective way to travel to the US and back, with the first stop being Dallas.

After landing in the States, they pick up a flight to Dallas the same night – this costs £283 per person.

Four nights at the Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas Market Center cost £624 (£156 a night) for a twin.

Double rooms, which are more available in all cities, come in cheaper at the Hilton Dallas Medical District at £560 (£140 a night).

Both properties have breakfast included, meaning Dallas – which also has free shuttle buses from stations to the stadium in Arlington – is an affordable start to the trip.

The England supporters fly to Boston on Friday, 19 June with the fare £378 each.

Boston is at the other end of the scale as one of the more expensive host cities for accommodation.

Our couple stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Boston Crosstown Center, costing £1,650 (£330 a night), including breakfast, for five nights.

The cheapest twin-bed option in the city itself is £2,041 (£408 a night) without breakfast at the Courtyard Boston Downtown/North Station.

It is possible to book a hotel near the airport £500 cheaper but with five days in the city, it may not be worth the saving.

With England’s third game being in New Jersey, there is no need to take a flight. The supporters can hop on the Amtrak train to New York on Wednesday, 24 June with tickets £42 each.

Unlike in Boston, there are still lots of hotel options in New York with a five-night stay before the flight home on 29 June.

A double at the Truss Hotel Times Square costs £1,184 (£237 a night) while a twin at the AMTD Idea Tribeca Hotel is £1,275 (£255 a night).

This time, however, you will need to head out for breakfast.

But the last two games come with a sting – train tickets to the stadiums cost £59 per person from Boston and £114 from New York.

Just to get to the States and travel around, the estimated costs for two friends are £6,273 and for a couple £5,855.

And what of the family? It is going to cost £9,008 to get to the States, get around and put your heads down.

Costs are helped by some hotels offering free stays for children.

In Dallas, the Comfort Inn Dallas Medical-Market Center costs £627 (£156 a night).

The same Hampton Inn is used in Boston with a higher cost of £1,763 (£353 a night).

Over in New York, the Holiday Inn in Times Square costs £1,589 (£318 a night).

Will Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli change goalkeeper after Angus Gunn performance in Swiss loss?

Published

on

Falkirk’s Scott Bain has replaced the retired Gordon in the squad for this Nations League campaign but there is a sense Scotland are not as blessed in the goalkeeping department as they have been in years gone by.

So, will Pocognoli be tempted to make a change in goals for the upcoming matches against North Macedonia on Saturday and Slovenia on Tuesday?

“I don’t think there’s somebody that’s battering the door down to take his jersey because a lot of them aren’t playing football,” said Halliday.

“He probably is the number one deservedly but you never feel as confident with Angus Gunn between the sticks as you would have done a Craig Gordon, an Allan McGregor, a David Marshall, a Jim Leighton, an Andy Goram. This has been our goalies for the last 20-25 years.

“I’m looking at the first and the third goal – and I might be in the minority for the third goal, I think a lot of people will think it’s been hit with such pace – but the goalies I mentioned there, do they save them? I think they do.”
