Let's take Preston out of the equation, any you're looking forward to.
Must say, it's Bournemouth for me. Hope it's at the start or end of the season, on a weekend and lovely little ground to visit and be interesting to see it post-Prem and the changes they've made.
 
Barnsley is always a belting away day.

Looking forward to Fulham - wonder if their new stand backing on to the Thames will be ready?

Anyone been to Craven Cottage before? on TV their away end also looks like it houses 'neutral' fans too?
 
Stoke, just 15 mins away on the train unless i can get a lift off bollieboy......!

Nottingham Forest at home my granda that died in 2017 was a huge forest fan

This is the one for us also, never been to Bournemouth before and looking forward to a weekend away, hopefully
 
A reminder of where we could be going to. Also good to see we're in the play-offs already at 4th - it's a short push from there to automatic. Come on the Pool.

Edit to add - I nicked this off Wiki - the notes in the end column are rubbish.

I have always been a sporadic away day-er, I do love 'em and usually tend to do a minimum of 5 a season.

Looking to rectify that this season and get to loads, I won't do every single one of course but I'm excited for a great year of following the 'Pool round the country. I'll certainly end the season with a few holes in the pocket but will definitely be worth it.
 
Middlesbrough. Always go with my Boro mate and make a night of it. Great to have that back this year.
 
Looking forward to the couple of grounds I've not been too namely Bristol City & Derby. Hoping Bristol is a decent weekend away and a stay over in Bath perhaps. Not been to Bournemouth's ground too actually - I went when they were playing at Dorchester (I think that's where it was anyway!)
 
I did Fulham once, as we were staying west of London with relatives. Got really lost around the big roundabout - is it at the Hammersmith bridge? - and only got to the ground about 3.20, gates were closed. Some cockney wideboy on the gate saw the opportunity to make a quick bob, peered over his shoulder and opened this crack in the gate, come on sort it out he ordered as I took too long to work out what was happening.

Having got in, I thought he'd put us in the wrong end. All I could hear was Southern accents, until I realised it was the BASIL folk.
 
I live in Birmingham, so all the Midlands fixtures are like home games for me... Birmingham City always a favourite, as I know lots of blues fans which means good banter!
 
If I still lived in the UK there'd only be one new ground for me, and that's the Riverside, Middlesbrough, never had chance to go there. Ayresome Park was a rough old day out though......
 
Doubtless everyone (including me) will be hoping Reading is one of the Tuesday night away games. You can watch it on the Sky red button if you want, I can go to the soulless stadium and we can all leave the good trips till Saturdays.
 
Fulham and Hull (never been to the KCOM, and nearby Beverley is a great place to stay, a lovely little town).
 
Barnsley is always a belting away day.

been a few years now, but I think in the concourse under the stand was unsegregated; I don't think it was in the stand itself though. I remember really liking it and given the chance (kids have made away games trickier!) I'll go this year.
 
Work causes me problems on a Saturday but I've got my eye on Fulham trip, done it before about 30 years ago!!

I think last time we played Bournemouth away they were having a new ground built and the game was actually played at Dorchester Town. Pissed it down all game and they stood us on an open end.

No. Went to Bournemouth in 2015 at the rebuilt Dean Court.

Thinking about it, been a couple of times. Paul Ince was sent off and had a bust up with the officials.
 
Millwall-give me a shout and I'll join you.

Great fun especially the 'drive of death' when leaving the ground and all the Lewisham chavs giving it the big one.

You cant beat a visit to their manna' and all that goes with it
 
Having grown up near Oakwell, am looking forward to a return to Barnsley. Always enjoy that ground and I'd say they're a good example of where we'd want to be in the next few seasons.
