Back in the nineties my Reading supporting mate used to sit with me in the away end at Reading and I used to sit with him in the away end at Charlton. Did it about 6 times so my most visited away end is at the Valley. I never tamed down my celebrations if we scored.
Newcastle four times, and bizarrely, three were wins. A 2-0 when Gritt scored the second, a 3-1 on a Tuesday night whe we travelled there as bottom club in the league, and that fantastic 4-3 win when we went 3-0 down after half an hour (I also caught a 2-1 win at Ayresome Park in the same era)

The Ayresome win was the last minute penalty from Tommy Caton, after Alex Dyer fell over.
Norwich. I live in Norwich and haven't missed a game we have played here since 1988. Also recall going one boxing day with my dad in the season we went up to the first division. Pretty sure we lost 2-1 after going ahead.
It was 3 1. I sat next to Lee Allchorn (RIP) on the coach, everyone was sharing Christmas food (Turkey sarnies, mince pies, biscuits etc. I ate most of his brandy snaps.

That was the day Mark Reid ran into the ref and knocked him flying, think it was all about a Norwich goal which didn’t cross the line.

Ref David Axcell and the shot was from Wayne Biggins. I was sat level with the "collision" and my view was that Mark Reid was lucky not to get a massive ban.
Bloody hell, with the exception of the groundshares, Portsmouth and Barnsley are a scarily high number. Fulham and Ipswich too. Welling for a traditional pre season friendly or two and testimonial games. Been to Man City be it Maine Road or Etihad a few times as well

I can get to Barnsley in about 40 mins so a bit misleading from me on that one
Gillingham easily the most The Shithole in Bermondsey doesn't count as its London, nor does Selhurst, QPR I've been to Vicarage Road a lot and Luton a few times Portsmouth is a ground I've been to a lot Weirdly Sixfields I've done a few times and Wycombe Forest I've been to about 4 times Stokes old ground and the new one a couple of times each

But my overall away record is more successful; P409 W114 D91 L204; For 447 Against 625 Diff -178
75% of the away games were in the 80s & 90s.
I think most of the teams that were in the prem at the same time as us 3 or 4 times. Although it felt like I went to Filbert Street a lot.
Otherwise, versus Charlton - Ipswich eight matches. (Plus one game when my Dad was ref).
In total I have watched Charlton play 197 competitive away games at 97 different clubs (plus Brescia) at 114 different grounds (plus Wembley).
Yes, sadly, I have a spreadsheet.
