I am sure this has probably been done already but there are some good away games to look forward to next year and as I am bored, I figured I would list them.

Must attend

Port Vale - Quite an easy journey, we always seem to do quite well here as well.

Crewe - Easy to get to by train and not too far.

Northampton - Few mates went here last time and said it was a quality trip so shall try to make it this time.

Cheltenham - Could be our 'big' derby next year, was a good away day last time with loads of Swindon singing in pub close to the ground, plus we owe them on the pitch after last humiliation.

Brighton - Day at the seaside and we owe these cunts big style after the play offs, still hate them now.

Bournemouth - This has to be a weekender not too far away.  Plenty of booze, football and good nightlife this will be a quality one.

Leyton Orient - Never turn down a trip into London, day on the booze then watch the game then back out, happy days.

Walsall - Again close by so easy to get to, plus if its as good as this season then should be mental.

Leeds - Good place to go out again, throw in a good stadium and hurling abuse at Wise and Co and a brilliant day out.

Nottingham Forest - Want to visit the hooters, plus quite a good stadium and would  be nice to put one over them after some recent heavy defeats there.

Luton - Not a great area by all means but drink in London during the day then head up to Luton before the game.

Yeovil or Blackpool - Either is not to bad, Yeovil is quite local and Blackpool is good for a weekender, think Blackpool is my preference so come on Yeovil.

Rovers or Shrewsbury - Again wont be too bad either way as Rovers would be local and provide us a heated derby and Shrewsbury isn't too far and we would get to see a new stadium, think I would prefer Shrewsbury just to see Rovers cry at Wembley.

Possibilities

Swansea - Haven't been to there stadium yet, so wouldn't mind seeing it but its not to welcoming a place, unsure yet.

Millwall - Same reasons as other London teams would be a good day on the booze but due to there past reputation I am a little unsure, quite up for going so wait and see on this.

Southend - Journeys quite tricky and Roots Hall is a bit of a dive but seaside drinking again so maybe will go to this.

Not too likely

Finally we have the northern teams:

Oldham - Been here, horrific place saw us lose 5-1 when Steve Cowe scored in injury time.  Horrible place, horrible ground and horrible team, no thanks.

Carlisle - Too far, doubt I will go this one.

Tranmere - Also seen us lose here theres something about merseyside that makes you not want to return, not for me this time.

Doncaster - Not really keen on this one.

Huddersfield - Been here couple of times in the past and it doesn't really interest me again.

Hartlepool - This is the only northern one I am considering just because you can fly up to Newcastle from Bristol for cheap and train it over and I have heard Newcastle is a good night out.

So overall I am intending to go to at least 13 away games next year, League 1 has changed massively since we were last in it with some great away days now.  Fingers crossed we get Bill and the consortium in over the summer and will be pushing on for play offs next year  :D

i found swansea perfectly fine, no less welcoming than most places.

Doncaster is a must. New Ground.

Much improved on the old Vetch which was dire and hostile. Warning after last season though, if it rains, their brand new roof ...... leaks!!  :roll:

Millwall on the train is a deffo!

You missed out Gillingham!

Gills on the train will be an ace day out  8)

True. Got a lift with Mex last time, it's a bit more awkward from here as you have to go into London, tube it for a bit and come back out again to find the caravans.

Crewe, millwall, gills, forest, leeds, orient,  Yeovil, Walsall ,Brighton  , bournemouth, northampton, chelts

oh and Carlisle  is a defo!!

says the man putting footie on the back burner :mrgreen:

:oops:

there all ones i really want to do...i think i'll give up home games

hehe, we'll see come august eh? :)

Will collect you on the way through mate

 :mrgreen:

I'm looking forward to Cheltenham, Yeovil, Forest and Swansea as i missed them last time round, Walsall will be my local game, so that Crewe and Vale are nice and close, my mate lives near Gillingham, so thats a good un, and Bournemouth is an excuse to see my folks as they live nearby.  I'm hoping for a favourable fixture calender though to enable me to make as many as poss.  So much more attractive than last season's calender.

And how do you know how mental it was this season?  :mrgreen:

p.s We're going to Donny.

Only 23 days until the fixtures are announced !!!

yep awaiting them anxiously .. im going to up my away days this season ... just hope I dont miss too many good ones when im on hols

bring on brighton :evil:

Exactly, living in Eastbourne next year so Brighton is a must. other than that i'm  gunna have to cut down my away days next year due to money but still hope to make forest, leeds, gillingham, millwall, luton, blournemouth and wherever we are for the weekend of my 21st!! :beers:  :beers:

You beat me to it Spud!   :soapy tit wank:

Think a weekend in Brighton has to be done  :fag:

 :soapy tit wank: Bastards, I was reliably informed it was mental.

Tis a good night out, ask Ralphy  :wink:

I got friends in Huddersfield so am looking forward to that, also my sister lives in Northampton so i'm looking forward to that one aswell - lots of good away games this year!

I can't remember my last visit to gillingham  :oops:

train for this one?!  :mrgreen:

I'm going to Carlisle cos i have friends up there.

Will also do Gillingham cos my mate lives in Chatham.

why you living in eastbourne dude? i'm here now for 3 years, can't wait for brighton away, bet you it's a wednesday night  :(

going to Uni there, at the Chelsea School, University of Brighton to study Sport Journalism. Can't wait!

you and strood will be bumchums then, thats what he does. he will blag you for lifts and phone you up pissed in the middle of the night.

that's nice, the first year is an absolute doddle and its a good crack down here.
just make sure you never talk to me.

Good god I hope Swansea is another mid-weeker, we were in some Welsh Wetherspoons as 11  :D

Dave and his mob.

Bring on the Swansea you  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Minibus to Yeovil again then  :D

Oh yes !!!!

And I would like to cordially invite you all to my local :D

It's 5 miles out of your way way, but meh, live a little  :soapy tit wank:

Ace idea Hertha

We'll arrange it nearer the time Fred.

It'll be nice not to be the only Swindon fan there :D

Hope your local's got a big beer garden!  :D

Massive courtyard Sussex.

JJ Edmunds lives in Yeovil as well.

Yeah, John lives in Chard.

Not that far from here.

yeovil away was class last time, doubt we would take the same sort of number again though

I thought it was a pain in the arse.

To far from the station,no Taxis willing to pick anyone up at the ground because of traffic,no buses laid on.Id probably still be there if it wasnt for bumping into Spencer and him giving us a lift into town.

Minibus this time, Jamie.  :wink:

I'd wait to see the date the game falls on before getting too carried away with planning minibus trips.

Bet Yeovil will be a mid weeker

Next season will be a bit awkward for me - I will probably be at uni in London and am quite poor so will be living on a shoestring budget!!!  :cry:

Hope to make a couple of midweek games before I go, and then it will be a case of going around Christmas, seeing away games in the London area and trying fund trips to places like Leeds!

Ideally I would like to see a few home games when I am around. As for away games, it would be nice to get to Leeds, Gills, Orient, Millwall, Yeovil, Forest and Cheltenham. Just have to see closer to the time!

I got stuck in the car park at Yeovil for nearly an hour and a half. They let all the wurzels out first, then the away coaches, then the players coaches, then us. Shambolic organisation.

me and village got stuck at a pub in yeovil while we had to wait for a taxi...it was just another excuse to have another couple of lagers... :mrgreen:

was a good day

the away game at the County Grounf against Rovers could be a good one to travel to.  I might take the number 13, anyone know of any away supporter friendly pubs in the area?

I'm not going to Rovers away.

 8)

Gillingham Millwall Brighton Luton Southend Leyton Orient all closer to home than Swindon=Awayday frenzy!However I am definitely NEVER going to Forest EVER AGAIN!
