Yet another vote for Fulham but don't try to park round there unless you fancy a long walk.  The Larrick on the bridge is a popular watering hole then a walk through the park for a burger and a reasonably pleasant entrance into the away end and the view is usually pretty good.

Now Blues have been relegated I'd concur with Fulham.

Arsenal for me. Don't start a song about any of their crocked players cause they all want to fight you after the game."Eduardo............." They didn't like that one and their Spitting Image manager liked it even less.

Agreed. There was loads of txt and emails going on our coach about this "song" on the way that day. Coach voted to not sing a word of it and to my knowledge non of us did.
Not all our away fans are daft ya know.

Not in the same league as us anymore but a vote for Blackburn, as many tickets as you can sell and fairly cheap. Good away atmosphere. Everton was good, proper football ground and made some noise.
Don't think Anfield is worth the 43 quid

Other than Blues away I wouldn't worry about any games being too intense.

Good pub is a tricky one, the ideas on what constitute a good match day pub vary drastically on here, so that really depends on what your looking for in that respect!

Wigan, Blackburn, Liverpool/Everton, Bolton in that order for me.  The only downside is having to spend time in the company of that eejit from Formby, but hey ho, you can't have everything!

Have those choices been influenced by the ease to get to from IOM?

Sort of I guess.  The NW is where I still think of as "home" as we still go back fairly often to see the inlaws etc.  But I also quite a few Villa supporters from that area now, so always enjoy meeting up before hand etc.

Fulham for lots of reasons as already stated.  Always had a good craic at Everton too.

Always enjoy Fulham, Wigan and Arsenal.  Bolton was decent too when I last went but doubt we'll play them anythime soon.
