September has been silent so far on TT - so here's my attempt to get the posts flowing again. What are the best away trips for your team? These can be fixtures from the past, those this season, or ones you'd simply like to see happen. I'll start. I always liked going to St Albans, Bath, Lewes and Cambridge City - lovely places, nice grounds and with great pubs within walking distance of the station. Going back to Sutton's Conference days in the 80s and 90s, I particularly liked Boston United - even though we always lost when I went there.  This season I'm really looking forward to Lowestoft, Bury Town and Folkestone - all new grounds for me, with good drinking opportunities.  And as for a ground I'd like to see Sutton play at some time - how about York City? (Let's ignore the ghastly re-naming of the stadium!) A fantastic city for all sorts of reasons, and only a couple of hours by train from Kings Cross.  |

Yeovil at the original Huish was good.
I quite like Leatherhead and Dorking, although I understand this is illegal in some states.
York is a lovely city, am off there for a week with work soon.
Would love to go to Darlo as my good friend Howie is a season ticket holder and lives in the dales. AFC on 30 Oct, oh yes!

Barrow have a lovely ground and is practically a trip to the seaside!
Hyde, Stalybridge and Droylsden have the lure of Stalybridge station buffet.
Hartlepool is a strange, strange place and I'd like to go back again just to make sure I wasn't imagining it.

Blinking awaydays, I should cocoa, I can't get to them these days and given our fixture list and my shift pattern it will be Ocbloomintober 2nd before I next see the mighty yellows at home; unless of course we win away in the FA cup (which I doubt) and we manage to get a home draw. |

I used to love going to Cambridge too - BEER!!! I also enjoyed Newport because their fans are lovely and I'd get to stay with my granny. These days I just take what we can get ;D Hastings I like. I'm also looking forward to Bury and Folkestone (new grounds) this season.

I'm relatively new to this away travel lark, so I haven't got that many grounds (30-odd) to compare.
Top of the list for me has to be Eastbourne Borough. We've been lucky that both games we've played there have been in August - last year an evening match. I drove down in the morning and spent the afternoon on Pevensey beach with OH and youngest before going to the match in the evening. This year it was on a Saturday, so I took the train and found a nice pub town before taxiing it to the match. We won this time as well which was a bonus.

Dorchester is a good un we have been lucky enough to do them August for the last 2 years.
Bognor/Weymouth and Barrow get a special mention
Also enjoy'd the Wombles a couple seasons ago
Went to Hamworthy a couple years ago great trip
But realy if theirs a bar that serves decent beer.
Then i'm happy

Lewes was a fantastic weekend, and I also enjoyed St Albans.
In the North, Southport was good fun and Stalybridge is always worth visiting for the Station buffet!!!!

I've never thought about a "favourite" trip as i've felt it was like travelling into "enemy" territory. Then again i grew up in an era when your top priority when travelling away was to return alive and without anything missing or bent!  |

Woodford United.
When I was living there, the 5 minute walk to Tooting & Mitcham's ground in Morden was nice.

St Georges.
Worcestcestcester city!
My favourite ground - the local pub, the clubhouse both perfectly acceptable; and the city itself has some splendid pubs too. Oh; and a footy / cricket double header (pre-season for the footy probably) is still an aim ;-)
And, of course. Daza will be around.

Oh; and a footy / cricket double header (pre-season for the footy probably) is still an aim ;-) And, of course. Daza will be around. Got to be done! As a school kid, I used to love running from school on a Friday Afternoon, via my Nan's house which was on the way to pick up supplies of crisps, chocolate and coke then spend the rest of the evening watching the cricket at New Road. I would then have Saturday morning at New Road (usually for the final day's play) until lunch, before wandering into town to pick up some food and up to St George's Lane for the football. Then of course, the limited overs match on the Sunday. There was usually once a year in either April or August/September where the fixtures would allow for the above. Wonderful stuff. In 2008, we played Eastleigh away on the 18th of April, followed by Hampshire at The Rose Bowl on the 19th with a few beers in Southampton sandwiched in the middle. Excellent fixture planning. We really must get a double header sorted Hawkie. |
