@owlstalk Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Who remembers this Blackburn 0-1 Wednesday at Ewood Park? What's been some of your favourite league away days? (let's not count the obvious ones like cup finals or playoffs etc) And are League One away days more fun than Championship ones?

owlZfan84 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It was bloody FREEZING that day. This warmed us all up. Think it was Sanchez Watt Watt Watts debut too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bulgaria Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 ones that spring to mind... winning 3-0 at southampton in what i think was our 1st season in the old 1st division, think Chapman got one... it was the year after they stuffed us 5-0 in a fa cup replay at their place. would it be 84/85 season? Winning 2-0 at anfield.... that Varadi goal!! winning at stoke in a league cup game 1-0, bannister with the winner... we were a division below them... god knows what year!! winning at coventry 1-0 in 91 to make it to the cup semis.

punkskaphil Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 3-0 at Brentford in 2003, because it was the first time I'd seen us win in eight years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Think my favourite away win was v Newcastle in August 1996 when David Pleat was manager. Wednesday expecting to struggle wrong end of season and Newcastle (forward line I think that day was Shearer, Ferdinand, Ginola and Asprilla) one of favourites to win the league. Came from behind to win 2-1 with a late Guy Whittingham goal. Remember went by myself on the ICO because most of the Wednesdayite I knew had given up on them a bit. Was shaking with the excitement of it all walking out afterwards. Sign of age a bit but not felt like that about a game for years (even the exciting games in 2015-16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hull away 2005 Mental scenes when James Quinn scored deep into injury time. I've never walked into a ground under such alcoholic influence as I did that day. My favourite by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also beat Leeds 2-0 away which was another cracking game to be there. Was a very warm and humid night even though it chucked it down. Can remember these games really well from over 2 decades ago but cant even remember games from earlier this season. Probably as a young bloke games meant more to me then.

Guy Whittingham turned in a Pembridge shot / cross. Remember Peter Atherton getting a very good press for man marking Steve Macmanan out of the game.

Scored some really significant goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
