So it's almost over - hasn't it gone quickly? This time tomorrow the close season, which, as you have seen here has been fairly busy, will be no more for another year.
It's almost over, today is the final day of the Close Season...
Throughout the month of June players in England are given a break away from the game and only international, small-side, armed forces and scout matches are permitted.
Without any football for a whole month, TheFA.com is here to help you through every day in June with our guide, Close Season Encounters, pointing you in the direction of your daily dose of the Beautiful Game...
Start all over again
Today it's time to prepare for the new season.
Players - and referees, you should be putting the final touches to the pre-season preparation, which we showed you on day 17. Don't forget you may need to replace your old boots from last year too. We told you what to look for on the 24th.
Supporters, you've got some planning to do. Have you got your season ticket sorted out yet? You may need to check out your team's first few fixtures to plan ahead, and how will you be getting to the games? Have you got your transport arranged?
But of course, if you've already done this, or just want to take it easy for the final day of the close season, you've got the books and DVDs we told you about earlier this month as well as some newer ones. Chelsea, Everton, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, West Brom and West Ham have all released end of season review videos to look at what happened last year.
It all starts again tomorrow, though. Have a good season
