Despite the journeys to the likes of Carlisle, Hartlepool and Plymouth, the U's will travel 198 miles less next season with a total mileage of 8,130 if you attend every away game from August onwards.
That said, there are also a handful of very long trips, as the U's venture to all four corners of England and Wales in the next ten months.
The recently concluded campaign saw the team heading to the north west most weeks, but there are a raft of great local trips for fans to look forward to once things get underway in August.
