Am I the only one to have watched City at Park Avenue, Bradford? (NOT Valley Parade -wrong club)
I would think most likely !Am I the only one to have watched City at Park Avenue, Bradford? (NOT Valley Parade -wrong club)
Charleroi was 2007 i think. Wrexham in the 90's.What years were both games?
If we're including friendlys in this, some of our pre season games at distant places would be on the list.
In 2009 we played in South Africa the year before the world cup there. We had 3 games there in what they called the Vodacom Challenge.
The first game was in a place called Polokwane north of Johannesburg, there couldn't have been more than 20 or 30 of us there who travelled from the UK.
The stadium was fairly full with locals and I seem to remember they celebrated in their own way the birthday of Nelson Mandela.
Forgot all about that game!Timisoara away, Europa league, August 2010. Probably about 100 of us there. Think it was arranged very late as we qualified through fair play. There were no official trips. Won 1-0, Mario scoring on his debut?
Was that Richard Edgehill’s debut? Remember watching us lose there 1-0 around that time (on tv) commentator waxing lyrical about him, think it might of been Ian Darke, probably the last reasonable comment he made about usWent to a midweek game probably early 90's v Wimbledon, late October I think (maybe early November), at Selhurst Park, there were only a couple of hundred there, I think it finished 0-0, or 1-1.
It was utterly miserable, I think it was my daughters first away game, I doubt she'll remember it fondly either, she was 4 or 5, it was bloody freezing, did I mention miserable ?
