Well our first year back in the league is almost over, although some may be disappointed with our final league position no one can deny it has been a good season with some fantastic away days. I have managed around 9 away games which is the most i have ever gone to. Gutted to miss yesterdays however!

Any way i am wondering what is everybody's favourite, for me it's special mentions for Doncaster ( never been a part of an away crowd that big ) and Derby ( first away day of the season, great atmosphere )  But my favourite has to be Blackpool as it was just a great weekend overall and we got the result

Let me know yours UTM

I was thinking about this, this morning. At a guess I'd say the full list of favourites for all Town fans would include, in no particular order, and for various reasons:

Carlisle
Blackpool
Hartlepool
Derby
Bolton
Donny
Mansfield
Notts
Plymouth
Luton
Barnet (but feck the football)
Cambridge
Orient

Having only made the south east games, I'd say Orient, for the atmosphere, the result, the pub.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Can't choose between yesterday, Blackpool and Orient............ The fact that we have so many great ones to choose from speaks volumes.

Carlisle for me. It was looking like another dismal away day at half-time but we blew them away in the 2nd half. Best 45 minutes of football from Town this season too.

Blackpool atmosphere was fantastic we played well and won.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Derby for me. It felt so good to be back in the football league and the fans were incredible that night. We played some great football for large parts and could have got a result even at the last minute when Mckeown got his head on a corner, the crowd would have gone ballistic if that had gone in

I think Plymouth away. Vocal support all through the game and played so well was well praised by Plymouth fans.

Plymouth - by an absolute country mile, great performance, great result and really really nice people. Everyone really happy to see us back in the league. Great day.

Good pre match meal in Wetherspoons as well!

Only managed to get to two this season,

Colchester and Cambridge but I would have chosen them anyway,

That's because it was Luna's first ever games and now like the rest of us she is hooked.

Only done a handful this season but Notts County for me. Probably sums the season up nicely with how the game panned out as well.

My record away is dreadful:

Derby - Lost 0-1- Good atmosphere.
Colchester - Lost 2-3, Dreadful game and dreadful atmosphere.
Exeter - Draw 0-0, Boring.
Yeovil - Draw 0-0, Can't even remember the game.
Bolton - Lost 0-1, Cracking atmosphere.
Crawley - Lost 2-3, Another poor performance.
Stevange - Lost 0-2, see above.
Leyton Orient - Win 3-0, Best away day for me.
Portsmouth - Lost 0-4, brilliant Atmosphere, crap performance.
Cheltenham - Lost 1-2, Shocking performance and no atmosphere.
Barnet - Lost 1-3, Shocking performance, amazing atmosphere.

Home record is won one, drawn one, against Notts County and Blackpool.

The ones where we won!  For me that's Luton, Cambridge and Orient.

Best atmosphere of those was Orient as we took a lot and had the fun of the Eendracht Aalst exchange visit along with the pop songs.  Was a nice warm day as well, which must help and I imagine will lead to a lot of votes for Blackpool away, which I couldn't get to but which sounded amazing.
