First Away Game

[johnnytapia]

I went Huddersfield away the following season (97/98). Midweek game. Pissed down all night. We had the stand behind the goal but the rain was driving in and we had seats right at the end of the stand. Got absolutely soaked but won 3-1. Great times.

Think we played in the rare yellow /black away kit. Beardsley played for us. Murders in and outside the ground. We ended up getting relegated and Huddersfield stayed up I think

I still regret going to that game.


I’d met a very attractive young lady the week before and she wouldn’t give me her number but said she’d take mine.

She rang me in the week and asked if I wanted to go out on the Saturday. Had to say.. Sorry, I’m going to Palace but I’m definitely interested.

Not heard from or seen her since.

Probably time to move on now I guess.

I didn’t go to Palace but got to bang a very attractive young lady.

Huddersfield away, FA Cup 3rd round. Jan '88 at the old Leeds Rd. 2-2 John Gidman scored a last minute free kick to equalize, Mel Machin and Neil McNab both sent off. We'd beaten them 10-1 ealier that season so it was only to be expected that we nearly made a pigs ear of this one. Just googled it and the attendance was 18k, and at least half of that must have been Blues. Fairly uneventful game other than that.

Bet it was your coach

First one I remember was Burnley, 1973. Lost 3-0 and dimly recall Big Joe getting dogs abuse from our fans

Portsmouth away 1985...massive game...as our patched up injured side clung on to the faltering promotion push...that Paul Simpson lob that took about 3 weeks to go over Alan Knights head into the net..

I banned myself from that game as the wife was not far off giving birth

Lots of brownie points, but all the gang who went had a great time

Burnley in the FA Cup 3rd round. Early 90's I'm guessing. We won 1-0 anyway. My 2nd away game was the 4th round at Port Vale and my 3rd was the 5th round at Notts County where the true nature of being a City fan of that time was painfully revealed....

Colchester United in the 1998/1999 season, 1-0 Goater scored the winner with a half volley if I remember correctly.

QPR away October 1994 aged 14 with my schoolmate with Official Supporters Club. Mate's Dad dropped and picked us up at Chorlton St (so basically 2 just turned 14 yr olds on their own, which is mad really.) I won the raffle on the coach for free travel to a game of my choice and we won 2-1. Great day.

Burnley, FA Cup 1991, weirdo locals booing Hendry all match due to his Blackburn connections.

1-0 win. Hendry scores the winner :)

Oh, and they bellowed "WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH!" every time a goal kick was taken.

Could’ve been true love. Instead you signed up for 20 years of mostly shite football followed by 13 of brilliance.

Plenty more fish in the sea, mate.

Mine was a 0-0 away at Stoke April 1976, not long after the roof had blown off their stand. Actually got to see Geoff Hammond play.

That same game was the first away I can remember. Dad and elder brother said I did a few local league games as a sprog, but that was my first away day by train

Friday night wasn’t it? I was only about 10, great memory though Goater smashing in the winner!

Strange could have sworn I went to Stoke in April 76 and we won 3 1 shortly after league cup win. As an FOC memory not always what it was, anyway vast City following packed every where but the Boothen End.

Been to plenty of stadiums before an away game as my dad always took us somewhere on a Saturday if City weren’t at Maine Road.

First City away was the swamp and the Brightwell screamer where dad had got us tickets in the wrong end. Turned out we weren’t the only ones in there.

Leeds 60s the Gelderd end (kop) when it had no roof
