Amex has been voted 4th best away-day in a poll of 4000 thousand fans. Top were Wigan with 7.83 next Derby on 7.82 then Hull with 7.79, Albion on 7.69. You could slum it up the road at 4.94 if you like! Details on BBC sport website.j

Top was Wigan? Why!

Top was Wigan? Why!

Perhaps the big Marquee under the away end with big screen and good pies/beer?

Top was Wigan? Why!

+ Nice steep end, decent view
+ Let you out for a smoke at HT

- Don't sell cider
- Quite a walk from the railway station
- Only one offy in town and they insist on serving you through a hatch

Hull?!?!

They sold cider when I was there last season.

Well, I say "cider". I think it was Strongbow.

This season just gone it was only Carling and Worthingtons

You must have gone to the wrong bar then! I know I had a couple of pints & I don't drink beer, so I can promise it was definitely cider of some variety

This. Very average.

4000 thousand fans?

4 million?

Is it better to get a high score or a low one? If you asked me what I thought about (say) Charlton away after a win it would go down as a decent away game. However after a loss you start to see what a crap area it is with a crap ground and crap fans.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

One thing those clubs have in common?

A terrible home record, of course it is an enjoyable day out if you win!

Ahh, you may have discovered why the away fans voted for The Amex last Season.

 

[Black Rod]

Wigan was one of of the better away days this season. Plenty of good pubs, beer was cheap, sun was shining

Just a shame about the total shambles that went on on the pitch

 

[Simster]

Of course places like Wigan and Brighton feature high up on the list of away days. We were both complete shite and so those visiting fans usually went home with POINTS.

The away fans have their own bar before you go through the turnstiles, the one with the giant screen. They were selling cider in there.

Doesn't quite answer why Blackpool were third bottom then. Although, amusingly, still ranked higher than the slums of Croydon

I wonder how Crawley would fare if they included lower league clubs in this survey? Easy for most of us lot to get to, but I bet reviews generally wouldn't be favourable.

A long long walk from either of the two stations in town, not a single decent pub for miles, a dull town with little to recommend it for a day out, and a tidy but uninspiring stadium.

The only saving graces would appear to be a decent chance for three points for most visitors, and the fact that there's terracing behind the goal.

...we scored most for being one of the very few giving away attendee nos. out and standing up to give them a rousing round of appaluse
