Greatest Ever Away Day?

[r.soleofsalford]

Southampton away. Great night in Southampton. Great the following day at the match when Jesus scored our 106th goal of the season and gained 3 point to make it 100 point in the last day of the season.

My lad phoned me this morning still buzzing from yesterday, he rates it up there with Porto & Istanbul, despite having a zombie knife pulled on him & his mate coming out of the ground by a scruffy Scouse ****!

Jesus, hope he's ok mate

The FA cup semi final at villa park in 81 after Paul Power scored in our 1-0 win, has to be up there.

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

It was my favourite away game until the semi final in Madrid in 2023. We didn't win but Kev's blammer was awesome. Still up there as an epic away day

 

[Gingers Dad]

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.

Classic weekend. The sing off with the Chelsea fans in the airport on the Sunday evening was superb

Gillingham at Wembley 1999, it was awesome once it was all over.

Yes, a great occasion.
A long time ago, but seem to remember City were hanging on, as Ipswich were the best team in the League (although Villa pipped them to the title).
Paul Power's rocket free-kick was brilliant.
My favourite City kit as well...

For the FOC brigade, I'm a long standing member. 1968 at Newcastle winning the league, over 20000 blues, and 1969 Villa Park semi final win in last minute v Everton.

 

[Deepest Blue]

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.

Was there that day.
Absolute bedlam.

 

[Dodge]

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

Just before that random water cannon showed up.

Top trip.

Huddersfield. Gidman.

Oh yes . My accountant was a director there so I had to temper my celebrations in the directors box ...

Being at Stoke when we went to third tier Div 3 was a day and a half

Oh and have I ever mentioned I was at York with all the Bridge Fox Blues

We had a better party after the game than the Chavs did. Plenty of locals thought that we'd won the game! We had 2 chavs join us for a piss up because we were having a better time than they were. Great trip.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I was sat in the tier below our fans, plenty of blues about but we were all quiet in til the team came over at FT.

On getting out of the ground there was indeed an explosion as we ran into a shedload of blues.

I was in the Gallowgate end with my two mates. What a day n night that was. :)

If only Haaland could head a ball like Dzeko.

Top trip.

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.

Def stoke away Francis debut. We took over the ground.

What a day, I thought we were going to win the lot that season, the thought didn't last long.

Notts County was a great trip too, terrible result but a belting laugh. I still have a scar on my right hand from helping some blues access the ground via a hole in a fence. It was also the day of 100 a side football near a petrol station outside Nottingham.

Honorable mention to Peterborough in the 81 Cup run, proper old school tie with blues in the rafters, on walls and up floodlights.
