Bramhall Owl Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 First game not at Hillsborough was the first game at Filbert Street against Arsenal in the cup marathon. What an experience, was totally hooked after that. First proper away game was at Hull in the League Cup the following season. We were sat in a dodgy stand which would be condemned these days. Went to loads that season when got promoted under big Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockers Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Grimsby away, night match in 1979. We lost 3-1, after Ian Mellor put us one up. I was 10 years old and went with my dad (his first Wednesday game was 1936 - he was taken by his dad). That Grimsby match sticks in the memory. Thousands of Wednesday supporters, Wednesday playing in the yellow Bukta kit and a continuous "yeeeeeeelllllloooooooow" coming from the away end. We won promotion that season - alongside Grimsby. I'd been going to home games for about two years, but after my first away game, I just knew Wednesday was in the blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my 2 mates were only 14 at the time, spent ages picking them up and went home with a pocket full of change. Also remember being marched back to the train and Newcastle fans chucking a wooden crate onto us from the top of a building, smashed some poor guys head in. Happy days.

Rev Owl Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Shrewsbury away April 1982, I can remember the year because it was Falklands war and we sang 'The Wednesday hate Fray Bentos'. Went with friend Ian and his dad in his dad's Triumph Stag! Won 1-0. There was a game away at Mansfield around that time but can't place it because can't remember the score and we weren't at war with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Although my first away game was actually Highfield Rd, I was just a nipper, my first proper away day with the lads, as it were, was Southend away Think it was the first game of the season, and I travelled down on Thommo’s coach, Medlocks of Handsworth, if I remember rightly. It just about got there, but it was well worth the journey, for the crack anyway, if not the result Results back then were somewhat irrelevant, especially away days, which was just as well as we were usually crap. Didn’t miss a match, home or away for two seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myredmx5 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Burnley away in 1967, remember the snow on the ground and we lost 2 - 1 after John Richie put us ahead. A long long time ago!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apswfcowl Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Newcastle midweek in 1991 promotion season. We lost 1-0. It was the game before the Rumbelows Cup Final. Remember being escorted from coach to ground and back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Sewell Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 March 1960. We'd come out of a period of doldrums in Nov. 59. We'd assembled one of the best sides in my lifetime, Springett,- Johnson, Megson,- McAnearney, Swan, Kay,- Wilkinson, Craig, Ellis,Fantham, Finney. We played West Ham, who were top of the league, at home, in November, and beat them 7-0. We then went unbeaten, in league and cup, right through to March. We were due to play Man City away, so a few of us decided on the friday, at school, to go to the game. So we went by train, saw Stuart Hall outside !!, paid at the turnstyle, which you could do then, and watched a dismal Wednesday lose 4-1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
