Just enjoy how different and better they are from home games. The atmposphere in the ground, the pubs, the singing etc. So much better than home games. Much more of an experience. Always nice if you can find a pub with some home fans in who you can have a pre match pint with rather than looking over your shoulder for the knuckle dragging idiots you get at some grounds. Hard to find a pub at WBA that lets away fans in.
A good tip is to check out a map of the local area before you set off and memorise the name of a local village so when the bouncers ask where you are from on the door of the pub, answer with the memorised village in the local accent. Worked for me loads of times.....
