Greatest Ever Away Day?

Great photo . But someone has Photoshopped Alison back into his own penalty area ....Shouldn't he be in the centre circle with a bewildered look on his face

Classic on Tommy Muirs double decker coach had to fight our way to the turnstiles, Happy Days

Not the best maybe but one I often think back to was a 4-3 win at QPR in the league cup in 1994.

For me that was what it was all about. You only get the hardcore and loons turning up to an away league cup replay in London on a Wednesday night.

Some standard City stuff going on, 1 down in about 20 seconds, making Danielle Dichio look world class, then deciding we could be arsed after all and turning in a forgotten classic.

Loftus Road is always one of my favourite aways, fond memories of a Bosvelt equaliser when Fulham ground shared too.

Games I was at, in no particular order-

Sick swan
Blackburn
Stoke (Trevor Francis debut)
Bradford
Arsenal (3 1, KDB Jack Erling)
Spurs fa cup 4 3
Lokeren (for the away days not the game)
Newcastle (2 0 Yaya)
Everton (fa cup 1981), nearly shit myself after!
Leeds 2 0 many years ago on Boxing Day (at the time it was the best City away performance I’d seen - Hartford Owen Power midfield)

Didn't go to Everton 81, was at the replay, but was at Peterborough and the Villa Park Semi final, both great days.

1-6 at the swamp

That reminds me of West Ham away first game of the season on a scorching hot day in 2007, to see Sven's new team pick up a 2-0 win. That was a cracking day.

was there n all mate, preferred the upton park trips always beltin trip to hammers good relationship with em, similar to us, only one that wasn’t great was match after spurs beat us at home to stop us qualifying for champions league that match became meaningless was supposed to be a party atmosphere tickets were gold dust then they were like confetti haha, but we got on the ale regardless do t recall the score but it’d didn’t matter sadly

Been a long, long time since I was at an "away" game (not counting finals!). For my limited experience it probably has to be Trevor Francis's debut at Stoke in '81. Boiling hot day, and the Victoria Ground was absolutely rammed with blues. Trev scored twice in a 3-1 win. Anyone remember who got our other goal?


Think it was Phil Boyer, wasn't it?

Stoke 81, Trevor Francis debut.

Me and about 30 Wythy blues in the Stoke section in the paddock for that game . Great day and a 3-1 win if i remember righty .

Yeah was at Peterborough (was it a Tommy booth winner iirc?) and the semi (Paul power), also great days indeed. Everton at Goodison was the second most violence I’d seen at a match

I think TF scored 2 and assisted 1 (although assists weren’t a thing in those days)

Pretty sure it was Phil Boyer, Francis assist

More Blues than sjoke in the ground

For the FOC brigade, I'm a long standing member. 1968 at Newcastle winning the league, over 20000 blues, and 1969 Villa Park semi final win in last minute v Everton.

The away game in the cup against Blackburn rovers. It was 2-4 with franny Lee scoring 2 and maybe Tony Coleman scoring 2.

If my memory is serving me well

Great stuff ...... went down on the special train to Fratton station .... i was right behind the goal there, what an atmosphere when that goal went in, city fans went crazy ... just brilliant.

Phil Boyer what a useless fucker he was. I saw him play for us at the Oakwell Barnsley.

Boyer covered every blade of grass without getting within 2 yards of the ball all night.

I was there with my Dad.

I was there too, in the United road paddock .... horrible atmosphere that day.

I was there, it was f'kin bedlam when Francis scored his double .... and yes, it WAS Phil Boyer who scored the other ...... over 25,000 were there, around half of them city fans.

Notts County away when we took 3 sides of the ground.
3-0 down at half time. Another away day defeat but fuck me the fans were magnificent that day.

Ended 3-2 but we hit the post too.

I asked a copper where the City end was and he said “everywhere”

City fans packed in behind the goal that day at Notts County .....
