Doncaster Rovers fans will clock up over 6000 miles on the road next season following the club in League Two.

Thank god Oxford and Bristol Rovers went up and Forest Green lost the play-off final. Only Yorkshire club in League Two.

It shows all of the away locations on the map.
Great graphical indication of the extent of our travel next season.
Hartlepool and Carlisle are my nearest two.

Not too far away from me in Marske. In Stockton every couple of weeks visiting wife's family.

Three new grounds for me.
I can hopefully get to Crawley, Newport and Wycombe. I've never managed them for one reason or another. Might be a couple of week-ends away with luck. Newport will be in and out as quick as possible.

Barnet will be a new one for a lot of people. They don't play at Underhill any more. The Hive, which is in Edgware, is quite easily accessible from the M1.

I fancy that one, plus Notts County, Cheltenham and maybe Mansfield.

I'm happy to stop with Underhill. I don't do many away games now so I'm happy if I've been to club's previous grounds RB.

Accrington and Crewe are the nearest ones to me in the north west.

This means even smaller home attendances as our supporters prefer to travel away rather than watch home games

Who cares, as long as those of us who do go will get to see a better style of football next season.

hopefully it will be more enjoyable watching rovers win well in League 2 rather than suffering the miserable performances of last few seasons in league 1

It'd be interesting to see that map as a side by side comparison with League 1 fixtures.

Could be some awful long trips in midweek.
