First away game.

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Either Wolves at Wembley 1974 or Blackpool in the cup. Don't remember which came first. Probably Wolves.

How did you get a ticket with no points?

Sent in the tokens from the back of the programs and got lucky.
Apart from the whole losing 2-1 bit.

Stoke 75/76?, shop windows smashed everywhere between Etruria and the ground, police on horseback, horrible game , 4-0 loss I think. Dad took us in the paddock right on the halfway line, their fullback( Pejic I think) ripped Tuearts shirt pulling him back, Dennis then took it off and thrust it into Pejics hand as if to say have the effing thing if you want it that bad, that happened right in front of us. Went to the league cup final in 74,2-1 loss to wolves, not sure that counts as away though.

Yes it was chilly.

Funnily enough that was Mrs Moons first away game.

December 84 at Boundary Park was as bad it rained all game and we got pissed wet through stood right at the back of the open end. Think we won 2-0 remember Jim Melrose scoring

First away game at the swamp 0-0 April 1973 went with my mate and his Dad as a treat for his birthday ; very quiet all game as we were stood in the Stretford end paddock. Went again the following year in the Denis Law game but in the United Road always remember the first pitch invasion at 2.30

First proper away Leicester 1975, Mike Doyle in goal for 80 minutes and lost 1-0 in the last minute

My first away match was Spurs on Saturday 11th Dec 1976. I still have the ticket from my childhood ticket collection, it was £1.50 in their East Stand. I've just looked it up and the match was 2-2 but my main memory is of Ralph Coates' comb-over becoming dislodged and floating about disconcertingly during the match in an asymmetric hairy horror show.

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

Middlesbrough in 84, 0 - 0

Always been a jinx game Boro away. Went on the city special train. Always remember the buffet car and buying the sausage rolls on the way back from the game.

I went to that game on the bus. Don’t think I have ever got so wet. Didn’t take a cost either. Remember the rain cascading down the steps it rained non stop.

The crazy Notts County game. I should have known.
