First away game.

[NPBlue]

The first time I saw City was away at Sheffield United in 1967. We lost. It was a Sunday school trip. We played a school in Sheffield in the morning, then went to Bramhall Lane in the afternoon.

My first proper away day was in 1973 (ish) to Wolves and we lost 5-1, and losing at away games was the norm back then.

It's a lot different now. I can't remember many victories on the road at all back then. We couldn't beat York away. Or Bury.

United when I was mascot December 2006, lost 3-1 Trabelsi scored a screamer. Think my next away after that was Spurs January 2014 5-1 win, got a good record from then onwards watching City away especially in London!

Reading 99
Not 100% but I think it finished 3-1 City

It did courtesy of two Terry Cooke free kicks.

England played that day at the same time and half the Reading fans never showed for the second half to watch that match.

Jesus mate, I'm impressed that I even remembered the score. Fair play.

Just stuck in my head with everyone leaving at half-time. Remember getting the ground was a nightmare also as the roads had also not been completed to the new ground.

At the swamp 1968 Best scored after 1 min and we went onto win 3 1 Lee and Bell were unbelievable that night !

 

[Harvster]

Pretty hazy but I'm thinking Sheff Utd in the mid 70's.

Think it finished 2-2 and Peter Barnes(?) scored from a very improbable angle

I was also at that game 13 at the time stood behind goal (cowshed) we got promoted that season 65/66.

Me too. I was just 10. Missed most of the first half because me dad had to park our van miles away from the ground it was that congested. Ended up standing in an open corner overlooking the 'cow shed' but could only see half the pitch. Thought it was great!!

Leicester in January 1973 in ended in a 1-1 draw. Friends dad took us he was a Leicester fan and we sat in the old double decker above the kop.

I was at that game and don't remember that but I do remember the road in......

Everton in The Cup 1966. 2nd was Everton in the Cup again - this time at Huddersfield. Even went onto win the Cup and we were promoted as 2nd Division Champions.

Feb 1969. Newcastle FA Cup 4th round. 0-0 draw. Stand we were in was heaving & pressure of the crush against the barriers worst I ever remember- difficult to breathe. City won the replay 2-0 with 10 men after Mike Summerbee got sent off, then went on to win the cup.

Thought we played the second replay at Molineux?

EDIT: checked in the history section - we did play at Wolves and lost 2-0.

Couldn't get to that game as I was in the Lancashire County Youth Choir, and was at the Free Trade Hall that night.

 

[casualdeyna]

Oldham 1994, 0-0 draw, we had Beagrie, Walsh and Rosler playing but were going through a goalless period as I remember blues that day singing "we'll score again, don't know where, don't know when..." It was a really hot day for March and I remember Oldham's pitch was 99% sand, we also wore a great third kit that day

 

[franksinatra]

I was at that game and don't remember that but I do remember the road in......

Defo happened. Will have a look to check. The ground literally emptied.

I was rather drunk so you might be right.......I remember the bars being slow and blues started helping themselves.

I was near that lad who has one leg and sometimes wore his false leg and sometimes didnt

Millwall at their old ground, FA Cup 3rd round replay in 1990.

Senility plays mind games with the memories. 2nd at Molineux then. Seem to recall being upset about that being the home of "Waggy!" Clear memories about the score though - think it was Temple & Pickering but thats straight from a distant brain Cell.

I've got a vague recollection of Ashley Ward coming on as sub, being completely out of his depth and getting hooked after about 20 minutes. But that may have been the second replay the following week? Or knowing my terrible memory, a completely different match altogether.
