Where was your first away game?

[lanzaroteowl]

Day 12 of lockdown. So another useless thread.

 

Mine was Halifax town around 1975 with a couple of school mates.

Think we drew 1-1. Still to this day the worst ground I've ever been to.

Them shale banks oddly enough I went a few years ago for a pre season friendly and the ground had improved even though they were non league.

Villa park as a young kid with my dad 

 

The only thing I remember is all their stand getting to their feet every time Tony Daley ran down the wing

Wrexham away in cup, it was raining, we lost.

Think it was 2-1

[sage owl]

I think my first away match was Oldham first match of the season 73 - 74 time. 

[TrickyTrev]

Bramal Lane, 1993 I think.

 

We drew 1-1, the pigs went ahead and Carlton Palmer equalised in front of the away end.

At Palace in 1990. Worthington for us in the first half when the wind took his cross from the wing and blew it out of Nigel Martyn’s reach. Mark Bright equalised in the second half and was sent off a few minutes later for an off-the-ball clash with Lawrie Madden. Finished 1-1. It was my first live game: didn’t get to a home game until ‘94.

Villa park. Lost 3-0. It set me up well

for the future

Oldham away 1980.Abosolute bedlam that day.

[bigdan2003]

Stockport during Turners reign. Brilliant day out despite the score. Wednesday fans having a tug of war with the pitch cover was a highlight.

17th January 1969, Derby away, lost 1-0.

Coppers put us on their Kop which got the afternoon off to a good start.

Chesterfield 1978 with my dad. Went to a few more local away games with adults after that - Rotherham, Mansfield, Scunthorpe, Chezzy again but my first unsupervised away day was Oxford in 1980 with the Palmers on the intercity owl and I was hooked on away days after that. I worked part time in a shop to earn the money to pay for away matches until I left school a year later. God knows what my parents were thinking letting me go to away matches in those days at 14 years old.

We looked after you.

At least you didn't get nicked.

0-0 draw at Leicester, Halloween 1981. 

 

But after that random game, apart from the quarter final at Burnley in 83 and the 2 semi finals I didn't start going to away games until 1990 when I was 18.
