Some great shouts in some of these posts - some id lost in the mists of time
These might not have been great matches but are amongst my favourities for many reasons
Stoke - fancy dress boxing day - 7 of us crammed in a clapped out Escort
Rags at wembley semi final - despite their best efforts to hospitalise any blue in sight
Wednesday - Bernabia masterclass
Chelsea 4- 2 - Mike Sheron Brace - raging Chelsea fans
Palace Away 1990 - anti rag love in
Blackpool away - Fa Cup - weekend of debauchery :)
so many good memories could be here all night CTID

Oxford United 2 Manchester City 4 around the late eighties, City were pushing for promotion and faltering. I went there as a passenger in a friend of a friend's Ford Cortina Mark 3. I soon found out the guy was a manic depressive which explains why everyone else had failed to turn up. No matter how hard I tried to converse with him on the way down there he just grunted a short reply - the journey seem to take ages.
During the match things got worse and at half time we were 2 down (Paul Simpson - by then playing for Oxford - gloated at the City fans behind the goal when the second one went in). So 2-0 at half time - I looked at my driver and he was near suicidal, I seriously worried about how I'd get home...... then in the second half, City came out looking like they'd been possessed and within no time we'd turned it around and were 3 - 2 up. After surviving a couple of scares we scored the fourth and made the game safe.
The transformation in my 'friend' was amazing, he virtually sang all the way home whilst telling jokes, thank the lord.

Any away trip to Derby during the early eighties, go there and back on the Ashbourne Road over the Pennines.
14 or 15 of us in a tranny van loads of great pubs on the way there and back, getting bared from most of them, stopping in Ashbourne after the game for Chips and beer

Ha ha! I am sure it was a bank holiday weekend and we had Palace at home on the Monday. I lived in Dover then, it must have been 1988 and I was going home for the Palace game. I stopped at Oxford on the way and went to the game. Later that night I was in bloody agony and ended up in Wythenshawe hospital with food poisoning, thanks to a baked potato with chilli I had eaten in a pub before the game. It wa so bad they wouldn't let me out and I missed the Palace game, I was gutted, I think that ended up 2-2.

I'd have to go for West Brom at the height of the inflatable craze.
I'm used to City defenders losing the ball in the floodlights, but it's not every day you see a bloke getting carried around the away end in a paddling pool
Walsall away height of the bananas and inflatables - I was stood next to the Empire State Building!...2 nil down after 10 minutes giving Andy Dibble dogs abuse behind the goal. He turned round and gave it back put the ball down for a goal kick then pulled up just after he told us all to f'coff. Nigel Gleghorn goes in goal, loads of banter when he was at our end of the ground and end up drawing three all...... Came back on the football special opposite someone who was rolling a joint. It must have been 2 inches long before he smoked it.....
Makes me laugh when away fans sing 'Where were you when you were shit'..

Newcastle 1968.we had two coaches from the local shop one got back at 10.00 we got back at 02.00am we stopped at the Leeming motel on the A1 on the way back and met Sunderland fans who had just beat the rags 2-1 and we were champions the place was literally bouncing. We followed this by a few beers in the New Inn in Leeds Happy days.
Ipswich away in the cup on a Sunday evening during the KK era.
Got down there at dinner time as neither me or my mate had a ticket, but soon acquired them in the Station Hotel Pub.
It was rammed in there all day long with Blues, I remember there was one group who were there on a stag weekend and had paid for a kissagram for the stag.
She arrived with her minder, gave the guy a kiss but despite the whole pub singing "get your tits out for the lads" she declined and left the pub hastily!!
Our quest was fulfilled minutes later when some woman stood on a table and promptly got her tits out amidst both cheers and boos!!
Singing continued, the rags had lost to 'Boro the previous day, the match came, we battered a very good Ipswich side 4-1 in front of the cameras, Eyal scored a wondergoal from Ali's corner.........what an awayday!!!!

Sick swan at the swamp - awesome awesome day
But running it close was Palace away April 2014 - long long coach journey down, before the match in a pub in South Norwood which exploded when Stevie G slipped... and then just before kick off, watching the end of Liverpool Chelsea game on one shit TV behind the stand when Chelsea scored again... and then half time. Yaya had put us two-nil up which resulted in an absolute fucking crush to the point where I'd gone down early to get 4 beers and had to drink the lot because it was so rammed my three mates couldn't actually get off the stand to get theres!
