Greatest Ever Away Day?

[johnnytapia]

Take the match out of the equation and the Porto weekend was superb. At the airport on the way home you'd have thought we had won.

You must have flown back via Heathrow

Bristol rovers away, last away game of the season before the playoffs against Wigan and Gillingham.
In the railway pub in hollinwood for 7:30 in the morning, coach down to Cheltenham then onto Bristol, back to Cheltenham for a night out. Coach left about 2 in the morning and back to the railway pub for around 7.
Pretty much 24 hour session.

Yesterday is up there...

West Brom away, 20 October 2012, West Brom one of my all-time favourite away days. Down to ten men early, then 1–0 down late on, it felt like a loss… and then Džeko goes and scores twice, including that ridiculous last-minute winner. Plus the classic Yaya/Kolo chant.

 

[under the turnstile]

Years ago. Took my kids to their first away game. Blackburn away. The Tarnatt rocket free kick game and we could sing that we were top of the league at the end of the game. Dry rare to be able to sing that back in those days.

First time I'd seen a water canon truck in real life that at a football match, the look on a lot of faces was funny as fuck.

Yeah, I remember those looks. Like a collective WTF moment. Even the guy on the water cannon looked like he was asking himself why am I even here.

As an aside and proof of how memorable that trip was. I was in NYC when we played Wigan in the cup, the Delph sending off game. Watched the game in The Mad Hatter with the New York Blues. A lad came up to me and asked if I remembered him? In an instant I said Lokeren. I've only seen him twice in my life, once in Lokeren and once in New York. Amazing really.

Some great memories here lucky enough to witness most special mention to the Blackburn away 4-1 Always a great day out especially the Fernhurst couldn't get served in there once said to bar maid can I get my own she said OK started serving mates all pissing themselves especially as they got free beer.

Pales in comparison to some of the other games mentioned in terms of significance but an absolutely.top away day.

Probably need another thread for best aways where the game/result meant nothing in the grand scheme of things.

A couple of night games at Huddersfield and Newcastle away in the cup on a Sunday night spring to mind.

Watched that in the bar of the then favourite place in Rhodes ...I might have been pissed and dived in the pool in my City shirt scaring random kids.

 

[jamesha]

Oxford away in April 1989. They were managed by Brian Horton and had Paul Simpson in their team.
We went two down and our promotion chances were looking in trouble but then we scored four in an amazing comeback.
iirc it was the first City game after Hillsborough and we sang YNWA in solidarity with the Liverpool fans.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Everton in 2013/14, and the on-field death and resurrection of Dzeko, was epic. Possibly my favourite away day among many great ones.

Wasn't there, but I remember turning the TV off in the 88th minute. I couldn't bare to watch

 

[Silva Citizen]

Games I was at, in no particular order-

Sick swan
Blackburn
Stoke (Trevor Francis debut)
Bradford
Arsenal (3 1, KDB Jack Erling)
Spurs fa cup 4 3
Lokeren (for the away days not the game)
Newcastle (2 0 Yaya)
Everton (fa cup 1981), nearly shit myself after!
Leeds 2 0 many years ago on Boxing Day (at the time it was the best City away performance I’d seen - Hartford Owen Power midfield)

No York ?

Fantastic day out that, boozing with my mate all day and then the away going ballistic when the winner went in. I vaguely remember us nearly conceding right after scoring the winner and it being tense. The West Brom fans weren’t happy afterwards, got loads of stick outside the ground.

Surely it’s Blackburn 2000 though?

 

[Axel Freed]

Notts County away when we took 3 sides of the ground.
3-0 down at half time. Another away day defeat but fuck me the fans were magnificent that day.

My first away day with mates rather than my old man. Proper eye opener !!

 

[carlosthejackal]

Lokeren will always be high on my list as well, that was just fucking superb.

Certainly was

 

[JH City]

Luckily been to a lot mentioned. Gotta give a shout out to Blackpool away games. Did they not shut the funfair one time as city were everywhere on the piss ?

 

[There is a Light]

It says a lot about yesterday that I can’t think of many better.

As many have said, Blackburn tops the lot.

Then maybe the Munich derby (I missed the 6-1), the last time we played Blackpool when Tevez and El Mago were on fire deserves a shout out as well.

 

[Frankie lad]

Bradford away.Got in on the final season ticket of a Bradford fan who’s mate couldn’t make it.Got me into executive bar and seats.Blues everywhere.

 

[citeh94]

Arsenal away 2023 for me. Very lucky to get a ticket off a mate, loved every minute, the limbs when Jack scored were unmatched and we outsang their fake ultras all day. Loved it.
