Most fans heading out to the tournament this year will have already purchased their 2018 World Cup tickets, whether you are supporting England, indulging in some football tourism by taking in some other games, or a bit of both. With your tickets in the bag your planning for Russia is likely to be in full swing. So with the tournament less than 100 days away what’s next for travelling supporters?
