As many as possible really.

I've missed QPR, Newcastle, Wolves and Rotherham this year away from home so far this season. Which is more than I would have liked but only QPR was my decision, the others being prior arrangements.

Good effort, this season is by far my best effort - having only missed Leeds so far!

Its reasonably quick to get to (if the Liverpool Street trains aren't buggered!), the pub and the ground are right next to the station, it's a proper decent old ground, other than we get stuck in an awful place for the away end and it's so expensive, I can't complain about it!

Get the train m8. It's a good service when running well. The away pub is superb too - even has a jukebox with good selection.

Really straight forward. A12 goes from there straight into East London and is dual carriageway all the way until you get into outer London. 50-60 mins or so and is usually not too bad traffic wise.

Basically it all depends where you're going in "London". The A12 meets up with the M25 and then the North Circular so the only issue really would be if you're heading for central London rather than the outer areas such as Romford or something.

Have Ipswich actually reduced prices compared to last season? Wasn't it £38 or something almost as hideous last year?

I'm just amazed they can get away with charging that to sit in a cramped wooden hutch that wouldn't have been out of place at Elm Park. Views aren't particularly brilliant either ( althought that's largely been a blessing given the general standard of Reading performance over the last 3 seasons ). I presume their home support pay the same to sit in the same stand? Certainly doesn't strike me as a particularly family friendly club as a result.

Wish they'd put us back behind the goal like we were the first time I went way back in the days of Steve Richardson scoring in a 1-1 draw. Now there's a collectors item that people would pay £'s to see.

One thing to be aware of if your driving to Ipswich. The company I work for are removing a bridge over the A12 at Kelvedon and it will be shut all weekend with a 20 mile diversion route. Give yourself a bit more time to get there.

Thanks for the information. Looks like A120 / M11 is a decent alternative.

Aside from that, anyone know the chosen away pub ? Still the one at the Station ? A couple of pints of Guinness and Chelsea v Arsenal seems like a good pre match warm up !

that pub has been done up recently too so no longer a dive. 5-10 minute walk from the ground so would be a good away pub

Had an update, looks like the closure won't be until until 8pm so may not affect us.
