Looking at away travel next season assuming we’re still in the Northern Prem. 

I know that league allocations are not yet finalised but the Northern Prem looks settled apart from it could include either Rushall or Anstey which are about the same distance from Ilkeston.

So despite having one extra away match, travel miles should be slightly down on last season.

Having one local derby (Alfreton) compared with none last season has helped.

 

i was  gutted that Basford, Belper , Carlton or Matlock havent made promotion . Ideally i would liked Belper and Matlock mainly because of their fanbase .  At least we Alfreton our real local derby ....
