    It is weird. Especially when you're climbing up behind rows of houses to get in the away end. It's got an odd charm all of its own though. A lot of these lower league grounds have.

    Then here they've built the roof on different levels for what looks like no reason what so ever. <laugh>

    A lot of this Divisions fans coming to SOL will think its akin to Wembley.
    Players coming here will be putting in an extra effort so we'll not get an easy ride home or away as we're the big fish in their little pond.
    Our new manager has to get his extremely new team hitting the ground running from day 1.

    Lets hope some of the players we want to sign have the same attitude then.

    Some great quirky grounds, if the team is performing there is going to be some brilliant away days this season

    There's about 8 on that list that I'm definitely going to try and get to (other things permitting). Had some good away days at some of them and hopefully tick a couple of new grounds off the list too. Really looking forward to this season now!

    I'm going to have a look and see how far some of the North-West ones are from me when the fixtures come out. My guess is that the two closest were Wigan and Blackburn...

    Oh and then Oldham and Bury. All clubs no longer in the league! Very inconsiderate of them. The Accrington Stanley game would be good, hopefully not to happen again any season soon!

    Blackpool and Fleetwood are very dooable but Rochale is closest to me. A solicitor client is a Rochdale season ticket holder so guaranteed a ticket to that game.
