Going away this season ..........

[Rattus Norvegicus]

With the fixtures due to be published next week (:omg: already?), I thought I would have a look at what clubs to target for trips next season.

We have lost 2 southern teams in Barnet and Aldershot and picked up 1 team from the Midlands (Mansfield), one from Wales (Newport), 3 from the North (Bury, Hartlepool and Scunthorpe) and then Portsmouth.

I will be looking at trying (finally!) to get down to Torquay and Exeter and across to Newport as it is a ground I haven't been to and because of the Southend connection with the manager.

Otherwise, it looks like I will be back visiting the same old grounds again as I am not aware that there are any new builds this year.

Rubbish isn't it. I would not class Mansfield as the midlands either, its further north than you think.

If only Gary Moore hadn't missed that sitter up there in the cup.:sad:

 

[Liam AAS]

plus losing Gillingham, it's gonna be an expensive year!

I hope these long away games are spread through the season... one a month in the first week after payday would be OK.

 

[jassyfa1]

Midweek games only for me this season.

 

[Ricey]

I will be looking out for Oxford as I am moving there next week. And any other away games near that area which I am not 100% sure are near me as I am Carterton and don't know the area that well.

 

[Earls Hall Blue]

Northampton
Cheltenham
Oxford
Wycombe
York
Wombles
Daggers
Pompey

Maybe one or two others..:smile:

It must be one of the most northern bias season's ever.
So hoping for either Pompey or Northampton to be last away match and the promotion party :clap:

Chatting to a work colleague from Leicester last week, he said he reckoned Mansfield was where the north starts.

It's about two hours from me in the car; toying with heading to that one, depending on when it is.

Pompey is a must for next year.

 

[lakeside speedway]

not sure yet depends on dates but portsmouth is the stand out one for me

 

[OldBlueLady]

Portsmouth and York will be the two I'll be looking for.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Well, I believe that Mansfield is in Nottinghamshire .......... and that for me is the Midlands. I take anything from Yorkshire upwards to be "the north".

Yes, I think this is very much a "northern based" league this year ........ it would be even more so if Bradford and Rotherham had not been promoted. :'(

mansfield definitely east midlands. its a town in nottinghamshire

Hoping Portsmouth away takes place while I'm at uni and not during the holidays, as I'm just round the corner from Fratton Park :smile:

Went there last season for our FA youth cup match, and was impressed with the noise just a thousand pompey fans made there (put Roots Hall to shame). A proper match day should be an awesome atmosphere!

 

[bucket&spade.f.c]

Pompey, Newport, First round of the capital and FA (If away) then the JPT ( If away)

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Pompey/Mansfield/Wimbledon for new ones

 

[Fish]

Would imagine Pompey would have replaced Gillingham or Aldershot in the fixtures computer calculations, which could mean Pompey away might be a bank holiday.

 

[Gremlin]

I though this thread was going to be about Michael Timlin.

 

[Fish]

God, imagine the confusion if the thread title was 'Going Down this season' and turned out to be about Timlin?

If only Gary Moore hadn't missed that sitter up there in the cup.:sad:

This has brought back painful memories.:'(
