Away Days -- Ground Summary

You can now read through this summary of grounds I have visited. Its impossible for me to visit every league ground whilst following North End, and with my ambition to visit all the 92 league grounds I do intend to attend some games as a neutral. I also intend to visit some non-league grounds over the coming months.
Further down the page is some statistics of my away trips such as the number of PNE wins etc. The distances shown in the table below are worked out the EXACT distance from Deepdale to the opposing team's ground - i.e North End's postcode & the opposing team's postcode. All distances were found out using www.rac.co.uk
