    Looks like lots of long journeys next season, with only Swindon and Oxford being in the
    same time zone! <laugh>

    So with Walsall looking like staying in L1, and Plymouth getting through to Wembley
    there's a chance of a couple more games within reasonable travelling distance

    You mentioned Walsall who are around 90 miles away. Coventry is around the same distance I think. Shrewsbury aint too far away either, maybe Northampton too who aint that far further than Oxford <ok>

    But yes, mainly long trips. Glad I dont do away games <whistle>

    2 different experiences.
    I remember we were 2-0 up within the first 5 minutes and I think Lambert was captain if my memory serves me correctly We won 5-0.
    I also remember in another game getting humiliated and at half time my car load walked out and went home. It was 3-0 to Walsall at half time and it was by far the worst ever performance I had witnessed. This was my 1st ever game I walked out early. We lost 6-1 in the end and Walsall were bottom of the table at the time I think.

    Yeh we did get a bit of a battering!!
    But it's a pretty straight forward ground to get too.
    And you can be back in the pub at a decent time to drown your sorrows after that kind of hiding!! <laugh>
