First away game.

[i kne albert davy]

FA Cup reply at WBA jan 1977 snowed most of way down freezing cold, we won 1 nil missed the goal.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Blackburn about ‘83/84? we won 1-0 iirc steve kinsey scored the goal, we must have had 10,000 there kicked off allover place!! then again at blackburn train station with a train full of burnley fans coming back from bolton!!

Remember getting drenched there in August
Left home in glorious sunshine so didn't need coat
Open end at Oldham and the heavens opened

Yeah a game of 2 seasons.

Walked the 2 1/2 miles to the ground in baking heat, no cost wishing I'd put shorts on, heavens opened as teams came out and looked like I'd just got out of an ice cold shower.

 

[Oils]

Shrewsbury away around 1988, seem to remember we had been on a long winless away run and got a pen near the end. Mcnab (I think) missed it...typical city :)

 

[East Level 2]

Pre-season friendly at Gigg Lane, think it was in 1970 and we won 5-4. I think the first competitive away game was a 3-1 defeat at Leeds in 72-73.

I have now remembered it was Everton early 70s was in the main stand with dad top tear remember it being very steep had netti g at the bottom so you didn' fall off think it was 2-2

 

[middlewichblue]

Can't remember if it was Doncaster away pre season - joey got sent off, or villa away when distin scored last minute to salvage a point

 

[Alec-mcfc]

the rags, my dad managed to get us tickets through the junior blues.

Drew 1-1

Never saw goal as Dads mate was trying to find somewhere to park, Royle got the goal I think. Got knocked out by Leeds in 5th round sure we were going to wembley that year and all.

Preseason 1995, Stockport vs City for the 'official' opening of the Cheadle Stand. 7 years old (was also my first ever City game) game finished 1-1 Niall Quinn scored i believe.

Didn't get to stay for the full 90 mins as had school the next day

And again at Victoria Station as United were playing Everton that day. It was carnage that day

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

The crazy Notts County game. I should have known.

What a game for your first away! Mad day out

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Gay Meadow - Shrewsbury
Trevor Morley 89th minute winner.
I nearly tripped over my inflatable banana in celebration.
Pizza Hut on the way home!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

It was United away in the Cup - think about 1986?, so would have been 11.

Whiteside scored and we lost 1-0 - that cheating little shit Jesper Olson diving on the edge of the penalty box and our lads stopped.

Now that was an away following.

 

[asia fields]

v Luton at OT league cup 2nd replay in about 77.

Was seven at the time and remember me and our kid etching MCFC on the Stretford end barriers..double naughty

Drove back to the Wirral after that one. It was so foggy I could hardly see the goal as we were down the other end, and then after the game an almost biblical blizzard descended!

 

[beehive_bob]

First away game I can recall was at Burnley, think 1972/3, lost 3-0.

I remember not because of the game itself but because of the abuse Joe Corrigan received from City fans. This was before he became the great keeper and legend he now is. The boo boys were won round eventually!

 

[OB1]

First away game was my first game. March 1969, City beat Rags 1-0 at Swamp with a Mike Summerbee goal at the Scoreboard end where we were stood directly behind the goal.

 

[Always Ali]

Stoke City 1981 and a 2 goal Trevor Francis debut. Fantastic day in the sun at the Victoria Ground. Mike Doyle played for Stoke that day.
