I have bad memories of Colchester.
Last time I was there I was being released from the Military Correction Training Centre (the Glasshouse) after a 6 week holiday there

Stevenage is actually an o.k away imo. Town is a bit of a new build dive but only 20 minutes from central London so just pub it there.
Thought the ground was pretty neat and tidy when I went there last in 2014, reminded me of a rich manās Tamworth for anyone whoās watched a game at the Lamb.
Might do that one if my first choices are midweek fixtures which Iād imagine a few will be.
Tranmere also staying in league 2 would be good aswell. Come on Newport!!
Steer clear of the new town. Itās a dump. The old town however has more pubs than you could possibly wish for with no more than a 3minute walk from each one to the next.

Yes thatās the one decent part of Stevenage, shame the ground wasnāt built in that part otherwise it would be one of the best league 2 away days.
An old school mate now lives in Grimsby and has already said we can have a night put there after the game. A night out in Grimsby??? I can hardly wait!!! 
I did a night out in Grimsby years ago. It was good fun. The girls loved the accent because it was different, and me and my mate both pulled. They didnāt smell of fish.

Iām happy with Carlisle and Morecambe being close to home, although I bet not many others are. Also still a few handy for me being in Leeds with Bradford and Scunthorpe coming down with usā¦ I had hoped Harrogate came up from the Conference but Salford or preferably Fylde coming up are still okay being up north. Hoping Tranmere and Mansfield stay down too, and I also have a few new northern ones to go to in Grimsby and Macclesfield.
Iām planning to make the most of the great discounts on train travel I get from work; Leyton Orient, Exeter, Plymouth and Cheltenham (even Swindon and Newport at a push) are all doable this way so Iām hoping to do a few of them.
Boned and filletedā¦
You can get cheap single tickets to Swindon if you change at Cheltenham/Gloucester rather than Temple Meads or Bristol Parkway.
Lovely 50 minute scenic route via Stroud.
Did chuckle at the Swindon at a push comment compared to say Plymouthā¦
Ah Forest Green is another (if Iām right in thinking Stroud is the nearest station for that).
My job means its all relatively cheap but Cheltenham, Exeter and Plymouth are all a direct train from Leeds.
I very rarely do away games in the south but feel I should make the most of this perk.

Will do the northern usual suspects plus some of those near to London as my son lives thereā¦ Am trying to do more by train these days, The northern rail strikes were a real pain this season. Have never been to Tranmere so assuming they are not promoted and not midweek, will hopefully get there. Similarly, am keen to do Forest Green, if possible, as got married in nearby Stroud. Canāt see me ever getting to Plymouth or Exeter , though I did see us at Exmouth Town once ( 6 nil win under Kenny Hibbert - that flattered to deceive!)
