... and trips you're looking forward to most?

Just talking to @Nads about how the Championship supporters have lost their longest trips to Sunderland and Plymouth.

Next season looks good for us tbh, nowhere in Wales to go, no horrible road to Ipswich and only Bournemouth that looks difficult because we get half a handful of tickets. I've only ever driven past Brighton's ground so that'll be a new one for me as will the new Spurs, Everton and Brentford ...

... three grounds none of us have been to with Sunderland.


We lose Boro but get Newcastle, we keep Leeds and Burnley will do instead of Leicester.

Then there's Luton ...

... whatever happened to them, I was looking forward to seeing us play at their new ground <laugh>

I don’t go to many away games nowadays, but I will go to Spurs to see that, I’ve always loved Spurs away the atmosphere at the lane was superb (especially enjoyed Cisse 2-1).

Everton, well might make that trip too can justify it as visit some pals over there.

Guessing Brentford the 3rd? Not arsed about that.

Will poss try for Fulham and Liverpool just to see the stadium developments, be nice as an away fan to be able to see the pitch at Anfield <laugh>

Not sure of my first one, probably with my dad, but when we won with Stans goal sticks in my mind. Sure that saved us from relegation.
Took my mate from Leicester and when he heard Wise men say he told me the hairs on his neck stood up.
He’s not looking forward to next season, believes they are going to make a example of them for cheating.

I don’t think I’ll have enough points next season unfortunately, unless there will be some to go to season ticket holders.

Always wanted to see the spurs ground, had the chance with the boxing but always held off to see the lads there, so that’s the top of my list.

Any that go to season tickets I’ll be trying for though, want to make the most of this season

Best game I can remember during our more recent premier league era (although not in the league) was the cup semi at old Trafford when we won on pens.

Old Trafford was grim then mind and sounds like it's only gotten worse.

Our support in the game at the SOL wasn’t that great …

… in the OT game it was like Wembley.

The town was taken over and we had hug support with pockets all over the ground. Good choice mate, incredible scenes when we went through.

I’m guaranteed a ticket in the home end for Everton and Tottenham through family and friends. Doubt I’ll get any in the away section. Strong chance I’d be able to get an extra one or two for Everton, if you would be prepared to sit with the home fans. Not too sure about Tottenham.

Don't think I stopped singing about Mannone for a week. In fairness the first half of the final might have been better.... Shame about the 2nd.

Amazing night. I was stood in the Stretford End with my brother. Watching our support across from us was amazing. I was sussed out halfway through the game but the Utd fans were as good as gold with me.

Tourists or locals?

Part of me wishes I could have seen the scenes when from that end but I'm glad I was amongst it.

Was that when he ran from the halfway line and smashed it low into the corner from about 30 yards?

I was sat in the stand opposite the dugout with my mate on his father in laws ticket. The sight of our fans was superb. I look back and can't believe how I behaved myself for that game. All the Utd fans surging back in when they scored only to lose on pens. A fine sight.
