Footie fans to join stars on travels 

Football fans will have the chance to get a taste of the star treatment with one of the world's biggest clubs thanks to a Warwickshire travel firm.

Leamington-based matchdays.com, part of Travel Management Group, is organising once in a lifetime trips for fans to travel with the super stars of Barcelona to their away league matches.

Fans will get the buzz of travelling on the team plane with the likes of Dutch maestro Patrick Kluivert and Brazilian star Ronaldinho before watching the team in action.

Trips cost from £550 and are being arranged for the Catalan giant's games against Deportivo la Coruna, Real Betis and Celta Vigo, but the jewel in the crown will be Barca's showdown with arch rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish capital on April 25.
