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!

Thats no way to talk about Bickster (Gareth) from "that other site"

PS. next time you want a lift to the in-laws try thumbing it :)

Wigan tickets will be like gold dust this season if you haven't attended a few away days, particularly with it being so close to Blackpool.

Wigan is the cheapest away by a mile, 20 quid last season.

No threat of trouble, train station right in the town centre with plenty of pubs and ground is 15-20 minutes walk away.

Arsenal is pretty good aswell.

Nobody like Southampton away much? Although I suppose it's been a fair years since we've played them.

Was thinking of doing it this year but come up a bit too early in the season so will go next year if they stay up.

Like to go to two new away grounds a season, last year Wolves and Wigan, this year looking like Reading and WBA.

Have to say the two Manchester clubs are right at the bottom of the list. We usually get stuffed at both and I don't fancy having to suffer it being surrounded by all their fans, it's bad enough at VP.

Damn it, I had just worked myself up to going to the Fulham away game, only to realise that I've a wedding the same day. Next year, then.

But on the upside, she'll probably appreciate you turning up.  ;)

I don't understand the votes for the Olbiyun. The ground is shit, you are surrounded by contemptuous pricks and they don't serve beer for starters.

Can I just ask, those who have got tickets for Fulham sorted already, have they been bought from Fulham? I can't see them on sale on Villa website yet, am I missing something?

Last season was the first season since 1996 I didn't do an away game. Shame on me.

They do in the Waterfall in Blackheath, and good ales at that. Short Taxi ride to the ground and back

Putney   Neutral  £35 £25 £15 - Can buy them online as of now

If we sell the 1,600 allocation fast (which we usually do) then they'll give us another 1,300 tickets

Fulham have a "neutral end" where anyone can buy a ticket and those tickets have been on sale for a while at www.fulhamfc.com. We always sit in there 'cos the old man is 74 and objects to buying a seat and being forced to stand throughout the game. Not so much of a problem at Fulham, especially if you sit in the first 2 blocks. I think every ground should have a neutral section.
