First away game.

[The Salfordian]

For me it was Leeds utd away around 1983/84 am I right in thinking Burridge was in goal, it was mayhemall the way back to Leeds station ..and I'm sure it was standing behind the Goal in the away end.

Ooo the swamp when we won 3-1 towards the end of 71/72.

Sat on the fence at the front of our fans and managed to touch the ball.....smell in the place was horrible. ;)

huddersfield don't know the season but would of been 1968 to 1972,i remember being sat at the front near the half way line,their pitch was curved and not level,i remember us being in the classic black and red striped shirt.

That's a good question was in the 70s not sure could of been swamp went to loads back then.

 

[peoffrey]

Swindon away in 1999/2000. Something like 2-0 City. I need to double check the score but we won. Locals wore United shirts...

I went to Wembley as an 8 year old in 81 but I don't think that counts as an away game. The first proper away game was Oldham away on Good Friday 1984. 2-2 it was. Coming from Moston, it wasn't really that far to go. I remember City just took over that day, we were everywhere! Remember watching in disbelief when loads of City got a ladder and started climbing up to the the seated grandstand above.. then they started ripping advertising hoardings down..I absolutely loved it! 19000 I think that day, about 15000 City at least.

Dad took me to Everton and Bolton late 70’s. Everton was prob first.

First without him was Oldham in 84. 2-0 win.

I went to that game,I would of been 19,we all went up to oldham on the bus from ashton,like you say,i remember that ladder and the ensuing madness all over the ground,we were in the stand opposite oldhams main end the chaddie end,it was kicking off the whole game in that end.on the way back we had to walk all the way back to Ashton cos there were so many blues in oldham that day.

Halifax 1-0 defeat 1980 I think

 

[lazza]

Didn't start going to away games until the mid-90s, and my first was the brilliant Monday evening 2-3 away at Blackburn the year they won the Premier League!

Eland Road about 1979. 1-1, with Kiddo scoring a screamer for us.

 

[cptaidan88]

Blackburn away on Boxing Day 1995. We got beat 2-0 and it was fucking freezing.

 

[SinSentido]

Ipswich 1973... think we lost... do remember it was £2.50 on the train.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

10th December 2005 v West Brom.

Diomansy Kamara and Earnshaw for them.

 

[manimanc]

Oldham away early 89, won 1-0 gary megson. I remember half the ground literally was city and the hundreds of bananas present too. I also remember nearly getting trampled on by police horses outside the ground trying to get on a bus back to town.

Leeds away in the league late 70's, we lost 0-2. On the way back on the coach we heard the draw for the 3rd round of the cup, Leeds away!
