May 29, 20233 yr Enjoyed a fair few of them last season it was only the likes of Burton, Morecambe and Wycombe where it felt like going through the motions. FGR was bizarre, Cheltenham frustrating as hell. But otherwise they all had something memorable going on. From the likes of Plymouth, Bristol and Exeter all feeling like being on holiday, to midweeks at MK, Portsmouth and Accy in cup, London weekender for Charlton with Bolton lads everywhere you turned, Derby had a proper big game feel, Ma Kelly's after Fleetwood, someone giving me a spare at 1455 outside turnstile at Cambridge after I lost my ticket, the boat bar at Peterbrough, Wembley. I love this time of year when it's all over with and can just relax for a few weeks and think about other stuff but when fixtures come out I'll be all over it again.

May 29, 20233 yr Could do with Exeter (A) being a weekend and decent weather, seeing as Junior is planning to study there from September.

May 29, 20233 yr Results aside enjoyed stopovers at Plymouth & Portsmouth, this season I can only really spare 5 days holidays for midweekers
May 29, 20233 yr Was thinking of trying to do all the aways, but then I remembered I'm away in Greece in October and in the Caribbean for the cricket in December. Once you know you're going to miss a couple, it's easy to duck out of the less attractive ones too.

Oh I hope those are midweek, I wouldn't be tempted to go then! 47 minutes ago, Traf said: Carlisle to Exeter is a 700-mile roundtrip. Nailed on midweek fixtures between those two. Just before Christmas

Their fans will be used to that trip, last season was the only one in the last 10 they haven't been in the same division. But they won't be sorry that Plymouth went up!

I think this then rises to minimum 18-19 in the championship. The new wanderers TV is a big step for the upcoming season,dont cock this up Neil (I dont think he will allow it to fail)

Yes we were there with @Biggish Dave & it was his debut. I took a “Sack the Board” banner 😂😂 Been a few times, I also remember some unearthly kick-off time on Boxing Day one year & an Easter Sat game the season we went up from Division 4.

I went when Andy May scored the winner for us.
May 31, 20233 yr Was it Orient we were all off to when it got snowed off or something? Remember being at Watford Gap and finding out the game was off.
