Alexlevy0908: Best and worst Notts County away days this season

Nice insight to this season @Alexlevy0908, I think the standard of football has been better than I had anticipated.

The quality in grounds has been a different question.

Nice write up.

Great piece!

Solihull Moors is personally the worst away ground that I have been to this season, I haven't managed to make a lot due to work and Uni.

With the hype of the game I thought it would be good, yet the ground isn't fit for purpose.

At my age, I only attend a handful of away games but this season has reminded me of what it was like supporting Notts all those years ago.

Some of the grounds have a charming old school appeal to them.

I don't think the club would have moved forward without promotion or relegation, the latter seems to have done the trick so far. I am hoping to make a few more games now we are in 2020. All the home games I have attended, I would agree the standard hasn't been that bad. A rough rough times but a lot more enjoyment is there.

Teams appear to want to do well because of how tight this league can be.

Fair opinion on the away games this season, I didn't expect it to be such a good read.

The National League is a bit hit and miss with the facilities, but I do think the experience will benefit the club in the long run. Notts have had to learn and adapt on their feet, away from home especially. No more complaints about bumps in the pitch I hope, like Dean Leacock would moan about.

Notts have gone back to the roots in football. 

I think fans will appreciate going to Stevenage and Morecambe a lot more now. 

I managed to make the opening game against Eastleigh, it was a good experience.

The staff was great, very friendly and the ground itself had a nice charm about it. The pitch looked very good too, I could see a lot of Notts fans were up for the game. It certainly ended up being a wake up call.

This reminds me I need to get back on the road.

Thank you for writing this @Alexlevy0908,

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, it is appreciated! 

Good write up @Alexlevy0908, thanks for sharing.

Good insight, different read that is informative and interesting. You did a good job Alex with this. I haven’t seen you on PON before, I hope to read further content.

 all these comments.

i dont make many away days, i find travelling to be stressful but i have attended chesterfield when notts played in league one. i would like to do others, i just decide against it. reading something like this @Alexlevy0908 makes me wish i felt up to it.

Thanks for the article @Alexlevy0908, I've been hoping to see an article about away grounds and I enjoyed that! I've always preferred more old-school grounds with character and a sense of history, so I feel I'm missing out a bit this season. Looking at the highlights this season, we've always had a good following, and I have a nagging suspicion you're all enjoying yourselves far too much

Are there any remaining away grounds you're looking forward to visiting? Chorley and Fylde will be new (although the latter has more than a touch of Rushden & Diamonds about it). Barrow and Wrexham could be good as well, and the stakes will be very high.

By the way, out-of-date beer is perfectly fine as long as it's within six months or so!

Good article @Alexlevy0908. Aldershot had a proper good atmosphere and felt retro. Sutton's ground was half finished. It was like one of them Cowboy Builders things with Dom Littlewood. Solihull had absolutely no room and the stewards had no clue what they were doing because they didn't open up the other part of the terrace.

I enjoyed Ebbsfleet. Standing terrace, visible scoreboard and the day overall was a good laugh, especially the pre-match game of Pointless we had in the pub. Halifax was good too. Good view of the ground but the food and drinks were expensive. I liked Eastleigh to be honest. Alright view of the pitch and good material at the back of the stand to bang to create an atmosphere
