England fans would fork out nearly £1,500 to follow the Three Lions all the way to the Euros final

English football fans would be willing to fork out close to £1,500 to be in Berlin for the Euros final if the Three Lions go all the way.

A poll of 1,000 football lovers revealed a quarter would be open to dropping everything to support their beloved team in Germany’s capital if England made it to the Euros final.

After so many years of hurt, 44 per cent wouldn’t want to miss what could be a historical moment for the Three Lions.

As in flux, 30 per cent would consider flying to another country and hiring a car to drive to Germany to save on costs.

The research was commissioned by Skyscanner, which ran additional insight to reveal the average cost of a direct flight from the UK to Düsseldorf for England’s opening game could set fans back £454.

But by jetting from London to neighbouring country Luxembourg and hiring a motor to drive to Germany fans could save up to £278.

For England’s final group match in Cologne against Slovenia, the average cost of flying direct would be £362, compared to catching a flight from Manchester to Amsterdam, and hiring a car for just £168 – over two and a half times cheaper than a direct flight.

Laura Lindsay at Skyscanner said: “As the Euros kick off, we know many people will be following the action and wanting to travel to Germany.

“Whether you are planning a midsummer’s dream trip to support your team or just want to be there to soak up the atmosphere, there are still ways for footie fans to get on the road and not miss out.

“But shopping around and comparing your options has never been more important.

“For savvy fans, flying to somewhere close to Germany instead of direct and picking up cheap car hire to drive to your destination will result in savings.”

The research also found 33 per cent of fans would be up for travelling to Germany to follow the actions – and a quarter would be willing to drive all the way there.

But they could save a staggering £453 if they were to do so for the opening game, travelling from Manchester to Amsterdam and completing their journey by car over flying direct.

And of these, 42 per cent would rent and share a car with friends.

In fact, 22 per cent would still want to travel to the Euros final regardless of whether their team is playing or not.

As 35 per cent agree the atmosphere in Germany will be better than that of their local area.
