This is why if you go down the leagues the quality of football may go down but the atmosphere is always better, I'd advise anybody visiting England to go watch a lower league game and contact the supporters club before, that way you'll know where to stand (don't sit for God's sake) to get the best feel of what football is about.
I really want to go to a lower league game,or even a conference game
