Whilst Stockport is no-one's idea of an ideal touring destination, unless you have a craving for crack cocaine, or to be a victim of gun crime, it is at least a new ground for the travelling Poppy. Or, it would have been had the fixture not been scheduled for a Tuesday night!

Ah, a trip to the fine urban sprawl of Gateshead, to sit in a cavernously empty athletics stadium 2.3 miles from the actual pitch. Not sure a 30 second squint at the "Angel of the North" is worth the effort involved!

Also, not sure it is really worth the effort to make the small trip from Mansfield to Sherwood Forest - legendary home of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Not if Sherwood Forest is anything like the less-than bounteous Rockingham Forest which is advertised on the way into Kettering! A couple of oaks and a bored looking willow don't really conjure up dreams of derring-do against Alan Rickman, do they?

The fine Cathedral city of Lincoln beckons like a shining jewel in the low Lincolnshire landscape. A wondrous medieval edifice, surrounded by multitudinous period features, buildings and other environs. Well worth a visit. Unless of course you are heading on holiday to Cornwall the same day. As I am. Bugger.

Another Tuesday night visit to Grimsby. Ah, Mr Fixture Secretary, you are spoiling us!

The attractive spa city of Bath opens its arms in welcome to the adventurous Poppy.
The less attractive denizens of Twerton also open their arms to our intrepid visitors. Unfortunately in the hands attached to those arms are various missiles designed to rain down upon our heads.
