Agreed. Apart from the game, Shrewsbury in the FAC was one of the best away days I've had. Cracking day with a bunch of mates, no bother at all but culminating in us all getting barred from the Swan in Bucklow Hill on the way back for laughing too loudly. YCNMIU.This thread seems to have morphed into mainly just a list of shit away performances over the years.
I’ve had some of the most memorable away days at games where the result was shit.
That 4-0 Brighton cup defeat that’s been mentioned for example was a quality day. From DD taking over DJing duties in the pub next to Hove station before the games. To a few gobby Brighton fans in the opposite side paddock to the away end, slowly realising they were surrounded by about 50 City fans. To the long, eventful journey back to Piccadilly in the evening.
Although I’m not saying some people can’t have a shit day and others a good day at the same time obviously.
Am surprised its took till page 13 to mention klanfield especially ten goal defeat in the same week. Any Nottinghamshire area away game was a nightmare their police were a disgraceAnfield 95ish.
4-0 in the league cup Wednesday night,
then a 6-0 spanking 3 days later in the league.
Fuck off Dipper cunts
I remember that one. Stood behind the goal thinking “this can’t get any worse” then it did!Derby away 1989
Haha I did both these. 10 -0 in a week. Missed 3/4 Klanfield games in 30 or so years, never seen us winAnfield 95ish.

Palace is tough to get to on public transport, finally made it there one day about ten mins after kick off and refused entryPalace away, Wednesday night in league cup.
Got to be the worst place to try to get to and away from. South London suburbs. Grim.

We must have been on the same train from Picadilly what amazed me when we arrived at Ninean Park was how the police just allowed the “welcoming” party to just walk straight into us but I can’t remember it actually kicking off just a load of verbalsThe Cottage Burners turned out mob handed for the Bank Holiday Monday game at theirs at the start of the 83/84 season too. An interesting walk from the station to the ground!
Was there for both. That rain was biblical coming off the sea front, we had tge wrong studs on for one.. im sure we had an inflatable et on that terrace and tge lad who brought it just kept whacking his mates with it..soaking us even more. My old man got the 'ump in the end!We had some crackers at The Goldstone Ground didn't we.
We won there the following season when Tueart got a couple and I seem to remember Steve Daley getting sent off.
However , the ones that really stand out (apart from the one you mention) were another 4:1 defeat and that absolutely shite 4:0 FA Cup defeat that persuaded John Bond he'd had enough..
Add to the mix one of the worst grounds ever, it always seemed to piss down in that open away corner and the police made people take their laces out of their boots it was a pretty shit experience going there for sure . Brighton also seemed to have quite a high number of dickheads supporting them, which didn't help matters!
