Barumowl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Specifically the Chelsea semi final at Villa Park in 1966 (plus all the away games that led up to the final). I went to all except for the first game at Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striggy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Has to be the 2-0 victory at Anfield for me. Sat in what was almost a subterranean seat on the touchline watching the game from boot level. The ball was out of sight when on the floor on the far side due to the camber on the pitch. Sat right behind Varadi when he hit it, took forever, and could not tell if it would go in or not due to the very narrow angle of the goal. Went mental! Got drunk in Castleton on way home, was absolutely buzzing. "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it vividly. They missed a first half pen. Then went a goal up on about 70' against the run of play. But we won and it was exciting. Aftet a dire start to the season which would have seen Owlstalk burn itself to ashes we were emerging as a good side. I had a 66/1 voucher for us to win the cup - and every time we have won the cup we beat wolves on the way. So we duly lost in R4. And got relegated. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game I stood on the Holte End and when Jemson hit the bar in the first half when it was easier to score I surged down the terracing, when he scored discretion was the better part of valour and we jumped over onto the pitch all 2 of us the stewards were going throw us back in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mercury Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I recall Sealey (RIP) going beserk after the game trying to get hold of the ref as he said it hadn't cross the line... we didn't care ! About 30 of us went on coach there, got a bit mental before as we tried to get in a Villa boozer & then after the game . We ended up down Attercliffe for some reason on way back & cannot think how or why we did. Still no clue how I got home to this day ha ha !

Shifty Powers Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) For me, Birmingham away in Carlos first year. Westwood injured during the game, Lee injured during the warmup, absolutley peeing down with rain. Losing 1-0 at halftime. Then we scored one of the best team goals ive ever seen and Hooper completes the turn around. Add to that the famous video of those brummies in the executive box when we scored our second - it was a superb weekend! Soaked wet through walking back into Birmingham, but absolutely buzzing. Special mention to Newcastle on Boxing Day and Brentford too. Edited February 12, 2018 by Shifty Powers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceInBlunderland Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ipswich last season when Lee scored the only goal with about 10/15 minutes left. Mainly because it was youngest daughter's first ever away day/weekend. Other factors include Wednesdayites relentlessly taking the p.iss out of the Ipswich mascot at half time to the point where it nearly had a breakdown. (Wtf is it anyway, if it's a horse it wants putting down). Taking absolute delight in the fact that Leeds were 'falling apart again' at home to Norwich, which in turn annoyed Ipswich fans even more, and they already looked like they were on death row awaiting their last meal. Lovely, sunny day. Great atmosphere in boozer (Station Hotel?) across road from train station. Ipswich fans we spoke to made us feel welcome and put daughter at ease, and will be forever grateful to the one who sprinted down the road to return my match tickets which had fallen out of my bag in town centre.

Angus McCoatup Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Villa away 1-0 in the league Cup 2001 or 2002 Birmingham away around the same time when Di Piedi scored the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The greatest away of all time was the 5 - 1 thrashing of Notts County in 1974, back when they had wooden stands that use to bounce along with you. I think it was Ron Springett's last game for us, but I could be making that bit up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 WBA been mentioned a few time, but a different game at the Hawthorns, or is it two. Someone with a better memory can clarify. About 10 years ago. Evening match, live on Sky, but a big turn out. 0-0 minutes to go, low cross from Brunt, turned in at far post by Burton(?) or was it saved? 1-0. Was it a different game where big Leon came on as a late sub, got grief from the home fans, but wound up their players and got Robinson sent off?

The game everybody's talking about was in 1990 when we were a goal down until the last couple of minutes and won 2-1. I remember this other 1-0 win game though - largely because it was on my birthday, and I'd just bought myself (cos nobody else would) one of those newfangled Xbox 360s that morning and had to switch it off to watch the match. WBA had 2 players sent off in injury time, but I can't remember what for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
