I'd like Stevenage and Aldershot to come up just because according to the internet we have never played either team before. Also not played Rotherham, Accrington or Torquay in my life time so that would be good.
But to be honest I don't care. Does it really matter which teams will be also rans when we run away with the league next year?

I'm sure we have played Aldershot before as I recall going to their 'park' on a couple of occassions in the 70's.

Just had a look, we played Aldershot for 2 seasons in the 70's, but the team currently in league 2 is Aldershot Town. Aldershot are now 'defunct'
don't really care as long as they are not more than a 2 hour drive from London.
We are going to be losing Brighton (fairly local) possibly Southampton (local-ish) and if Huddersfield cock it up then A N Other could be Peterborough, MK Dons, Bournemouth (all within a 2hr drive) or even Leyton Orient.
Coming down from the Championship are likely to be 3 northern teams so please, please someone local !!
Gillingham must be one of the worst ground in the country for away fans so no thanks. Although we could seriously be lacking derbies next year Wycombe was good and Southend is decent trip.
Would also like Bury to come up as would be a new ground and good excuse for a weekend in Manchester Also Stevenage, another new ground and not too far away.
Think Wycombe will also come up but would prefer a new ground to visit, maybe Accrington.
Chesterfield definitely, their new ground is has character and is high tech. Then either Wycombe or Gills for derbyish atmosphere and Bury or Accrington for non visited grounds. Re Aldershot, we also played them two years running in the thirties. Strange overall record with them: 4 wins at home, 4 defeats away.

Torquay - is that just on the off-chance you get to see Helen Chamberlain?
I don't see any other teams worth mentioning from down there?
Did Dowie go there in the end? Surely with CP in charge and a new playing squad playing proper football we could spank that lot and him.

Gills because it's a derby of some sorts
Chesterfield as they deserve it
The other team I don't mind, er Stevenage!
Wycombe was good and Southend is decent trip.
Bury
Accrington
Shrewsbury
as they are the nearest grounds to me
