    Was just wondering if there any games you guys are specifically looking out for next season..

    Looks like there is a chance of the next derby being Colchester (if they maje and win the play offs) - oh how the mighty have fallen :-(

    Would've liked Luton to have stayed down, as, even though it's an absolute sh!t hole of a place (and their fans), is relatively local to me.

    MK Dons and Posh are another two away games i'd probably go to.

    Big Al - they'll make it in 2nd, without a shadow of a doubt (at least - as i can see them winning all their remaining games)

    There are loads of grounds I’ve never visited so it will be interesting enough from that perspective.

    It would be wonderful to march around the country dominating and picking up 3 points whilst I get to add more pins to my map.

    A big highlight would have to be Coventry and I would look forward to Forest Green if they can make it up.

    Unfortunately Bradford look doomed, that would be a short hop from me.

    I’m not sure I can even comprehend the prospect of a bottom half finish amongst some of these names at the moment.

    I went to Coventry last season (FA cup v Boreham Wood) - the stadium can easily be a premiership stadium, but it's in the arsehole of the country, and is in the middle of nowhere (although there are plenty of fast food outlets outside the ground)

    I remember when it was new and felt impressive. Fast forward 14 years or so and it’s already dated and feels horribly plasticky.

    Arsenal fans must be doing their nut over Spurs’ fantastic new stadium.

    All the Arsenal fans i speak to don't give a toss, as long as Spurs never win any trophies

    They are not going to SAY they give a toss. If that was Carrow Road Id be livid.

    I disagree - football fans are very fickle. As long as their rivals are not winning trophies, the stadium is irrelevant (especially if your team has the greater history and larger trophy cabinet)

    I think Spurs are going to close the gap a bit before Arsenal are a force again.

    Regardless, the Emirates is nothing special but the new Tottenham stadium is. It will make a difference.

    They are currently a far better team than Arsenal, but until that tightwad Levy gets his chequebook out, they'll never win anything. So even though Spurs will finish above Arsenal for a few more years, Arsenal will still be smug in that Spurs won't have won anything.....all sounds very similar to us and the funny lot up the road

    Games I'm looking forward to will be against anyone who has beaten us in a cup tie recently.

    We'll have the Checkatrade trophy to go for and no international breaks to ruin momentum.
    I'm looking forward to a fun season of more better results than bad.

    Lincoln and MK Dons if they go up. Lincoln because I watched a lot of their games on BT Sport when they were in the Conference before the Crowley brothers bandwagon was in full swing. Not a fan of their playing style but massive respect for their progress and achievements over the last few years. MK Dons because of the ground, one I’ve been meaning to go to for a while now.

    Colchester will also be an easy away fixture to attend and could be a “local derby game” we are actually capable of winning!

    MK Dons I visited when we played them in the cup. Bit of a strange one because they designed it to expand capacity in the future and I’m not sure that is ever going to happen!

    We won't be playing Colchester as they've got no chance of making the playoffs!

    Fleewood Town will be lovey and bracing in November!

    Really Warky what makes you so sure? Only two points off with five to play.

    Win the next one (Bury) and they might well fancy the run in.

    By the time they play Lincoln they should already be up.

    Not that I fancy them but too early to write off.

    They will bottle it like they always do!

    Getting beat at home to Oldham yesterday for instance.

    The thing that pisses me off is that Toilet of a place Luton being in a higher league than us next season!

    I don't think we will get a short trip to Southend either, they are doing their best to eff things up !
