Harrogate (If they stay up), I used to play in the school team with a lad who has just signed professional forms with them and is starting to make the bench, be nice to see him play. :thumbup:

... Looking forward to Worcester ... if they survive the re-organisation of the pyramid. They tend to yo yo with Gloucester, and presumably Kettering will make things less than straightforward cos they used to fluctuate between North and South ... ha ha ha ... well you know what I mean.

Anyway Worcester is a nice stay over. Am still not sure about what this Vauxhall Motors thingy is. Ellesmere Port ... Cheshire way?? I recall (when those poolietypes played them in a cup game a while back) not sure like.

I met a girl in a pub in Chester a few weeks ago and she lives in Ellesmere Port. She said its only 15 quid in a taxi so maybe a stop over in Chester if Vauxhall Motors stays up?

Yeah I hadn't been before a few weeks ago and it was a decent night out. Lots of pubs to choose from. I just hope that both games aren't on Tuesday nights :(

Worcester and Gloucester are good journeys from London but Harrogate is a bit of a trek. 3 and half hours on the train from London changing trains at Leeds. Saying that Leeds could be a good night out as well? I've never been but I've heard its good.

I'd quite like Chester - I went to uni there and it's still not too far.

Altrincham, Hyde and Stalybridge are all local to me (if they are still in BSN nect season) so I'm just looking forward to getting some more Darlo watching in next season. Hopefully Stockport will come down with us too.

Probably the only 'local' teams to me will be Corby and Bishop Storford but they look likely to join the BSS next season. I better start saving my money up now for all the away trips.

The nice easy short trip to Workington, if they survive their relegation battle!

We'll be going to Cheltenham's Whaddon Road for the Gloucester game due to their current groundshare situation

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Harrogate! Stood outside the entrance of the majestic having a smoke as I type having been in the health club!

Nice bit of opulence!

Recommend the place!

I remember our last visit there just before they got kicked out of the Football League, all sorts of trouble before the game in the car park outside the ground, plus the infamous pie incident in their social club.
For me I'd love to go to Halifax if they were still in our division.

Can't say I'm particularly looking forward to any of them - I'm sure some of them are very nice places, but they wouldn't be on my list of 'to visit' grounds. Having said that the home games don't fill me with great excitement either - but then again beggars can't be choosers.

I just hope that we get into a position where we are all looking forward to games next season - its been a while - most of the time recently you turn up more out of a sense of duty than pleasure.

But then again football of any sort next season is a better prospect than the alternative.

I'm sure I went to watch a Bishop Auckland V Colwyn Bay match once in the unibond premier so seeing their name pop up a bit bloody depressing. Anyway, on the plus side I hear Harrogates a decent night out. One of my mates used to live in Worcester and I found that a good night out, friendly and lot's to look at.

I think I'll just spend the season drunk and wake up when we get back to the conference.

Yep. I'm not looking forward to next season. However, it's better than scratching around in the Wearside league (or equivalent). I suppose Harrogate is the most interesting for me, but I really really hope we only have to go there once!!

I am not looking forward to one single game - we should hate every single minute of our time outside of the league and use that to ensure it does not happen again.

Harrogate for closeness and easy access, on the understanding we are out of the s*** and the club exists in its present form, otherwise as a pheonix club.....Northallerton Town :lol:

Ditto, + Droylsden, been to Hyde, Droylsden + Stalybridge before, Stalybridge for me.
Hate to admit it but division 6 and a half looks like good fun if we can get a team together. Reminds me moew of the conference 22 years ago.
