Im not sold on an away day to one of the bigger clubs out of leagues 1 and 2, yes it’s nice to go to a decent ground eg Hillsboro, Fratton Park etc but they won’t be near half full, empty feeling etc which kills it for me.
Saying that I’d do an away day at Cheltenham or Shrewsbury, aside from that I’d take a home draw against a big league 1 club. Sunderland Portsmouth Ipswich Bradford Sheff Weds would do me
Agree with this.
Found Sunderland away an odd experience. Similar with Blackpool.
A home game where we can pull 3000+ (or more if we get a side with a massive away following) would be much better.
Blackpool was slightly different as they were protesting their owners at the time so all their games had no attendance

Yep I remember. Still pointing out that going to large stadium that is half (or mostly) empty isn't as appealing as being at home with a decent crowd. For me.

Very good point. Wednesday at home then!

Having been continually picked out of the hat as the away team, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a Home draw.

Ideally an away draw at a ground I’ve never been to before.

I was at this game in the old main stand with my Dad.

Anyone else remember this?

What a strike from Bancroft!

Underwhelming imo. Very tough draw but at least it’s at home

I watched them on the tele demolish Bromsgrove. This is an appealing but tough fixture.

Tough but winnable. Could have been much worse.
It is only a matter of time before those good people at the National Lottery give me the jackpot that I so richly deserve.

Roughly my view - and we'll get a decent gate too.

Marvin Johnson away goal at Grimsby in 2012 I think - what a finish to a game. Harriers joy.

Ugh. Top of the league above. No thank you.

Next to someone in the same league couldn't be less appealing, my end.

They took 500 or so to Bromsgrove so hopefully a good following. Let's hope Comberton Hill is fixed by then as well or Kiddy will be a nightmare that day
