Aldershot (A) will be a local fixture for me.  Their ground is about 5 miles away, so a short taxi ride from my local pub which is a cracker.

Crewe and Shrewsbury within 25 miles of me.  Neither of them are going up are they?

There will be more teams that hate us in League 2 next year, than we've experienced for some time.

It could... SHOULD... bring the passion back to the stands :-)

We were one of the bigger sides (barring the obvious, punch-below-their-weight, remedial dunces like Southampton, Charlton etc) in this division.  That's no consolation.

Edit: In any case, being the biggest club in a division is a sign of failure, not achievement.  Always used to amuse me when Sheff Weds were giving it the big 'un on message boards when they were in League 1.  Why?  25,000 home fans says you shouldn't be in that division.  You're under-achieving...so what exactly are you proud of?  Blackpool have a lot more to crow about, if you ask me.

Failing my last point, I've always liked Northampton away for some reason

Cheaper tickets in a lower division, right? As an apology for this abortion of a season?

An ex-girlfriend of mine lived their years ago.  Some rubbish areas, I agree, but I did like the Victorian red-brick houses/architecture nearer the town centre.  And some of the parks are lovely.  Abington is nice.

I really need to stop drinking beer and go to bed.

Lived in the terraces just across from the old racecourse.  It was just dull in the town, but like Swindon, travel 10 minutes outside and there's really nice countryside.

There will be grounds we can stand at? It should be easier for the players to hear the abuse aimed at them. It will make Flint's transition to a pro footballer easier. It should make the majority of the other players transition out of pro football a bit easier. I'm struggling now.
