Looking forward to Swindon (if they go up) and Bristol City. Straight down the M4 nice and easy. Always enjoyed going to those grounds having great banter with them although if i remember rightly the last time we played Bristol it was a bit 'handbags' after. The locals had too much cider and it went to their heads.
Won't go to Plastic MK because they are not a real club, AFC Wimbledon is.

Agreed about Swindon, just to enjoy the magic roundabout right next to the ground.<cool>
 
I was at this match at The Valley in November 1971 - was surprised how large The Valley was, like an amphitheatre, I was behind the goal in steep terracing (East Terrace?) - was freezing that day, ate hot chestnuts to stay warm. I travelled up from Hampshire all alone to watch the match, with my Dad's careful instructions on how to get there. Of course we lost to make the long trip home oh so much more worthwhile. BR pork pie + beer on the trip home - slept past my station stop, which made it an even longer night for me.

I recall that back then Charlton & QPR fans were all mixed in together, no bovver though, everyone got on in good natured fashion.

27 Nov 1971 Charlton Athletic v Queens Park Rangers W 2-1 League Division Two

I was up there:-

At least Loftus Road never went through this kind of dereliction:-

Always liked the Valley, and that East Terrace really was immense.

The only Championship grounds I have been in are, Norwich, Brentford, Ipswich, Swindon from the teams in the play offs, also

Wolves, Charlton, Sheffield Weds, Leeds & Fulham.

I would probably like to go to Nottingham Forest and Bolton maybe. Only because they are near enough to airports and travel from here wouldn't be too difficult.
