Newcastle is probably the only one I'll end up doing.
For me it has to be Sheff Utd, Villa and Norwich.
Sheff Utd is the only ground I haven't been to yet. Any away day in Brum is pretty easy and good fun.
Fancy an away weekend in Newcastle, hopefully with a local Parkrun in the morning
Toon parkrun is really good, but get near the front for the start as there is a gate after a couple of hundred yards, a real pinch-point. Big turn-out, about 800 when I did it.
I have to thank the Norwich stewards and police for not arresting/ejecting me when we played there on a Tuesday night a few years ago when I was absolutely slaughtered.
We did a massive pub crawl and had a pint in every Wetherspoons/CAMRA/tempting pub near the ground along the River Wensum.
What I do remember is pissing against a wall of Carrow Road just before kick off, standing on a seat which is bloody dangerous for someone as drunk as I was and smoking when it was banned.
All in all, a great away trip with (too) many decent pubs. Also an ex lives there now that was the best sh@gs I've ever had.
When do Shots find out about which league branch they are in ?
Breaking news . Aldershot win the Agm Cup and stay up as Gateshead lose appeal and will play in Conference North next season.

Gets rid of a hotel stay for the players around Gateshead for the majority of teams (which are southern). Around £3k for a National League side is a fair whack.
Are you elated, relieved or just hoping next season is better, atfc village?
