Looking at the Championship, it seems that trips to Leicester and Burnley are highly likely, but out of the play-off pack of sides, where would you like to go?
For me it would be Forrest, but that smacking they took from Derby seems to suggest they may well struggle to come up. Wigan are hovering around too. Thoughts?
-
Forest or Brighton for me.

Like you, I'd prefer a Forest to come up. Proper football club, not too far away, and a ground I've not been to.
If they don't, Brighton would be my choice, in August preferably!!
-
Brighton I have never been
-
That sounds a bit Yodaesque. I don't want to go to Wigan but, slightly off topic, what a great job Uwe Rosler has done there, thus far. But yes to Brighton go I would like too.
-
Brighton would be another ground to tick off the list. Not been to Forest for a few years either.
-
Forest for me for the same reasons as others have said, but it won't happen. Derby then, because it's close.
-
Forest or Derby.
Certainly not QPR.
-
Brighton would be nice
-
Brighton for sure for me: just down the road and a great day out all round. The morning and lunch in town in the Lanes and then out to the ground which is in a lovely setting
-
Forest used to be an interesting ground to visit in the 70s. The walk back to the station got very lively when the Police escort disappeared.
-
The ones I would really like ain't going to happen. Millwall because we can walk there. Charlton to see Sailor Brown (two club legend) or Forest. At Derby we could re-live Alan McInnally's goal drought ending and him getting his 21st of the season off their full back's arse. Stanley blade time if its QPR.
-
Brighton for me too, however if they are not successful then Wigan as we always take a good crowd up there .
-
Wigan. Always a great away day for me.
-
Leicester, Forest and Derby.
I don't mind QPR, that's an easy trip for me.
Wigan's OK but, as PWS will attest, I can struggle to find it on occasion.
Never been to Burnley, so that would be a nice change.
Looking at the top half of the Championship, there's nowhere that I'd be adverse to travelling to.
We really just need Fulham to pull themselves out of trouble.
-
I'd quite like Brighton to come up. Just for those Brighton fans who had to put up with all the shit their club went through from the mid 90s. Otherwise Wigan for the good away allocation and prices.

OK whose going to tell him?

Moving down to London this summer so Derby and Forest are nice and easy on the train. Forest are bottling it at the business end again though so it won't be them. Derby look good. Wouldn't mind Brighton as it's a new ground to tick off. Always enjoyed Wigan but can do without them for another couple of seasons. QPR's good for the 'day out' but the tickets are expensive and they're just an awful club. Really hope it's not Reading; a soulless nonentity.
As an aside, I'm gutted Fulham are going. May have to go and watch one or two Championship games from the neutral end.
-
Brighton, in either August or May.
-
Leicester , derby and forest please although I think burnley are pretty much clear now in 2nd place - so it looks like derby and leicester .
Where do I want villa to go - top 8 please plus a Wembley final win :)
-
it would be nice to have some extra Midlands teams in the mix. Not hardcore rivalries off course but Leicester to be joined by Derby or Forest for me. Not that I've paying much attention to it, but I didn't realize Burnley were doing so well. Good for them.
-
Anyone but QPR really.
I'm assuming Leicester and Burnley are certainties and both would be new grounds for me so happy with that.
If I could choose, Brighton or Derby as they would be new grounds and Brighton might be an epic away day if we play them while the sun is shining.
I wouldn't be averse to Forest or Wigan coming up either, both would be decent, cheap away games. I will turn off telly for a month though if Wigan go up so as not to have to hear endless interviews with Dave Melan.
-
Not wigan please .
-

Brighton my box does not tick. Far away it is, sanctimonious people it is full of, yes.
-
Not wigan please .
How come? We never lose there, good allocation and cheap. And when travelling with Mr Sox you get there from Brum via Wales so you do sightseeing as well.
-
Barcelona. Just need a few results to go our way.

Then all back to yours for Dinner or Supper :)

Cheers buddy - I trust you are all well? Regards from sunny Formby

Have I read this correctly? If Brighton get promoted three thousand of us are off to Richard's for a beef dinner?
-
Wigan please, always a good away day
-
I've always liked Nottingham Forest.
I'd like them back.

I am my friend, you would be very welcome to stay should we be at Brighton next season, would be great to meet up!
-
can I change my answer to "anywhere in the Premier League" please
-
Derby. Not actually been to Pride Park so that would be another to tick off the list.
-
Never been to Burnley, so that would be a nice change.
OK whose going to tell him?
I'll tell you now and I'll tell you firmly
I don't never want to go to Burnley
What they do there don't concern me
Why would anybody make the journey?

Have you been to Bolton, Southampton, Reading or Middlesbrough? Then you've been to Pride Park.
-
None of those either as it happens!
-
Happy that Leicester are coming up, bit of a midlands derby. Saying that, seem to remember we had quite a bad record at Filbert street when they were in the top flight a few years back!
Would like Derby to come up as it's another close away day. Can't be bothered with Wigan again yet, they can stay down for a couple more years as Whelan's a twat and I've done that away day plenty already.
-
Derby and Burnley. Both true football towns.
Helps that they both have great pubs (in Derby's case), and a great brewery (Moorhouse in Burnley's).
-
My tea leaves tell me it'll be Leicester, Burnley and Wigan.
-
Are Derby still in the running? I haven't been there, but have been to Forest.
Hopefully anyone but QPR :)
-
I think we should have a thread "Where Don't We Want To Go Next Season."
1. The Hawthorns.
-
Derby would get my vote. Despite being entertaining in the cup I don't like Wigan so they can sod off to the lower leagues as far as I'm concerned. Can't stand QPR, Reading are a bit yawn, wouldn't object too much to Ipswich or Brighton. Forest appear to have blown it.
-
Don't mind Wigan apart from Dave Whelan, who is the chairman equivalent to Harry Redknapp.
Have been to Reading and it's a soulless ground in the middle of nowhere. Not overly keen on Ipswich, as they hate us for finishing miles ahead of them in 1981. Brighton and Derby I don't mind and haven't been to. Have been to Forest, although it's a decent ground and is easy to get to as well.
Dislike QPR mainly because of Harry Redknapp, but also because of them spending ridiculous amounts of cash and being a London club.
-
Having actually checked the table Forest are currently 7th so perhaps they haven't blown it. Although they have been in shocking form.
-
Wouldn't mind Reading as they're close to me. Also wouldn't mind Wycombe Wanderers in one of the cups as they're even closer.
Other than that it would be fairly good to see Leicester back up. We had some good games against them over the years, they're a side who probably should be in the top flight (just about). And I also say this as in the last few years against them we appeared to turn the tide, after they had been something of a bogey side for us.

Good pint of Moorhouse's in Burnley.
