"It's been a really good combination of the team on the pitch and the team in the terrace," said Notts County boss Luke Williams as he ponders the reasoning behind his side's fine away this campaign.
The Magpies travel to the Gallagher Stadium this weekend to take on Maidstone in their final away fixture of the campaign - one that has been littered with memories on the road.
In their 22 games away from Meadow Lane this season, Notts have accumulated 48 points on their travels this season - scoring 58 of their 111 goals away from home turf.

When comparing those statistics to last season, Williams' side has managed to obtain 16 more points away from home while also scoring 14 more goals as his side sits top of the away form chart by five points ahead of second-placed Wrexham.
This season has also seen the Magpies conquer grounds they have struggled at in years gone by - picking up a first away win against Eastleigh in November at the fourth attempt, while also picking up valuable wins away to both Torquay and Yeovil in the space of two weeks in February.
Considered an Achilles' heel in recent seasons, Williams has most certainly addressed Notts' ability to overcome difficult situations away from Meadow Lane - gifting huge praise to the travelling Magpies fans as the perfect combination with his players on the pitch.
"It's a combination - we play the same way and so we try to make the game feel as familiar as possible," said Williams.
"That of course is a lot more challenging away from home because you have to try and tussle the game away from the opposition and you have to try and fend off the added energy that they have.
"I think we have been able to do that to a fairly good level, and that combined with our following is a really good combination because if we can start to wrestle control of the game, we make a lot of noise and it increasingly starts to feel more like a home game.
"It's been a really good combination of the team on the pitch and the team in the terrace."
