Was just about to say that.

We did get hammered at Blackburn though on the day of Hillsborough.

Ignoring Wembley, Blackburn away 84ish Baker scored in a one nil win proper lads trip but, a mention to my lads first away game the 6-2 at Wednesday & Villa 1 City 5 Mrs Moons last away game both of these would be higher but I was driving so dry.

The worst were 2 of the 6 games at Derby I've been to, the 77 one where the league had gone & Joe was booked for marking out the penalty spot & the 6-0 defeat there where for the first time ever I left an away game early.

Having read through the thread I'm now having the shakes at some of the shit I've (we've) been to.

Enjoyed all my away days with the exception of the defeat to Wolves at Wembley in the league cup final, even that wasn't too bad as we had a fantastic time afterwards in a pub at Harrow on the Hill along with loads of wonderful Wolves fans.

But by far and away my best away day was at Newcastle on the 11th May 1968 the first time I had seen my team win the top division in England. Those of you who were there will know what I mean!

Semi and finals are not away games. Best West Ham 1987 or Everton Semi final 1981. Worst losing four nowt to Palace in League Cup in the 90s. Long way home.

Yep I drove to Palace
Nightmare journey back

Notts County away as a kid when we hit the woodwork 234 times and lost 1-0 in the cup is always one that sticks in the mind, especially as i was in the shitty little home end behind the goal and everyone knew we were city fans. Was a horrible long jouney home.

Best away day was Blackburn away when we went up and won 4-1. Partly as thats where im from and loads of family are rovers fans, but also just one of the best days ever to be a city fan for me.

Half the recollections on these threads are bollocks, but this one win a prize for being he most incorrect, the 9 goal swing, 4 years out, we played at home, wrong team.

Worse league cup final 1974, lost undeservedly, attacked by cockneys on the tube but Wolves were sound.

I was at the back of the Wolves end at wembley that day, along with around a hundred other City fans ... we'd gone on two coaches from Manchester Fairfield Street, and had gotten a good deal on buying a 'job lot' of tickets for Wembley , which we didn't realise, at the time of buying, were actually in the wrong end !

But , as you say, the Wolves fans were pretty sound all day , and didn't cause us any trouble .... even when we managed to score!
