Guest Distraught! Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Burnley away circa 1980. Drew 0-0 and got them back to our place and did them 5-0 I was hooked for life....... That sounds like the cup tie in 1983. The score at Turf Moor was 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Leicester away in 85 (84/85 season). Lost 3-1 I think Lineker and Alan Smith scored for them and think Siggi Jonsson and Stainrod made their debuts for us (could easily be wrong on that). Remember quite a few Wednesday fans turning up at Leicester station after the match looking a bit battered and bruised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertowl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oxford early 70's, not sure what year. Midweek game as I remember and i think my Dad just decided to go on impulse because Peter Swan was playing in one of his comeback games, may have even been THE comeback game, not sure. I just remember being packed in a low stand behind the goal, with no segregation, plenty of pushing and manoeuvring for territory and "you're gonna get your f****** heads kicked in" chanting all around me.

Stoop Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Everton away I think it was boxing day 94, guy Whittingham scored a double on his debut in a 4-1 or 4-2 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHOwl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Do you remember it like other 'firsts' in your life. Mine was the Shay Stadium Halifax Town c1975 it was a Tuesday night and ended in a draw It was also probably the worst ground i've ever been to with a mud bank behind one goal with a tree growing in the middle of it. What are the recollections of your 'first'. Yes I was there too. 0-0. Awful game. It was in early March 1976 actually. My first "away" game was a couple of years before yet technically could have been said not to have been an away game. Second division Wednesday beat first division Crystal Palace 3-2 at neutral-venue Villa Park in a fourth round, second replay FA Cup tie. Brian Joicey scored a hat-trick. Almost 20,000 turned up most of whom seemed to be Wednesday fans. Fantastic occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Distraught! Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Everton away I think it was boxing day 94, guy Whittingham scored a double on his debut in a 4-1 or 4-2 win Is that the game in which Carlton Palmer scored with an amazing header?

Plonk Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 16th August 1975 - Southend away. 3rd Division - we lost 2-1. And, I had my scarf stolen. Bad day. That was an awesome day Reading came home with a new telly :blakey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Mine was Norwich away. Went on the old SUT coaches from Pond Street. The coaches got stopped outside Norwich and this big copper got on and said "if you think youre coming for a dust up with the Berkley boys (their mob) youve another think coming". They put is in the way but some of the biggger lads found you could pay and three pence to transfer onto the Berkley Road (home end). So we did. Remember a big youth called Tommo telling me if their fans had a go I just had to punch and kick like mad. Never been so bloody scarred. Cant remember the score but think we lost... a sign of what I was letting myself in far. Wish I could remember what happened yesterday now?

barn_owl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Barnsley in the Littlewoods cup in about '87. The one where Hirsty scored that diving header from the edge of the area. Still trying to find footage of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincolnowl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Grimsby away, 2000. Di Pieidi scored. We took the band.

Dizzys Dad Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Barnsley in a testimonial for two players, late 60s. Only lived half a mile from ground. Can`t be many walked to their first away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
