Random away matches

[G]

The evening game in 1998 was a fairly quiet affair, however the Saturday game in 1995 was a rather different matter and probably the most scared I've ever been at a match. Seen shit loads of trouble before the match in the town centre, loads of trouble in the ground when some of our lads who were in among their equivalent of the SW corner kick off and make a charge for our end and the escort back to the station was interesting to say the least. We had been in their end and managed to escape without too much bother.

Was so pissed that day (and night) I ended up shagging a real dirty ugly munter from our local village pub and @The Archer shat himself (and pebble dashed the landing carpet) after falling out of a loft conversion at a mates house

Incidentally, both games were 1-1 draws and both played on 21st October.

Went to both and the 95 game was lively to say the least. We went in a tranny van and our driver was one of the lads near the corner in their end and got nicked. Coppers told us they were keeping him overnight so we got the train back after going through the old "what's the time mate?........haway then y'mackem c'unt" routine. Walked into Porters in shields to see our driver, coppers let him out half an hour after we left, lying bastards.

Bolton away at Burnden Park in a cup comp lost 1-0, two years in a row at Huddersfield, Leeds road in the league cup, one year lost 4-0 with two sent off. Wolves when there were only two sides to the ground, two sent off again, Sunderland fans on what was the old cop end at Molyneux.

The Battle of Turf Moor.
A goal down and two players sent off.
Won the game 2-1. in a mud bath. Joe Bolton was immense that day.. I was about 15 at the time and can still remember the unbelievable tension waiting for the whistle to be blown.

Good thread to read through. Seems like a world away from football today.

Superb thread. Huddersfield away at Leeds Road in the league cup 1992-93, won 1-0 on the night to take it to extra time but lost on away goals.

1987 freight rover trophy, Scarborough away, night game, won 2-0 blue tuborg strip, Dale White scored one of them.

We were ultimately knocked out of this illustrious competition by Hartlepool, a goal direct from corner, went to that as well, pretty random too

3-0 mate

Ah cheers, memory's not what it was

 

[The Archer]

Gonna throw Bristol City in the league cup 1990 into the mix. 1-0 down from the first leg went down there & won 6-1. Their fans clapped SAFC off.

Went down with @Sutty @ a couple of others. Got in a back street dive where the gnarled locals were drinking what looked like pints of orange squash. It turned out to be proper scrumpy kept in a little barrel behind the bar & the landlord said they could only sell it on certain days of the week on police advice.

Sutty wanted to try a half but the landlord wouldn't serve him when he said he was driving home after the match (it was 5pm at the time) cos he would still have been over the limit at 10pm.

They only sold it in halves iirc?

Was it that game the locals were dismissing our rivalry with the mags as small time as their hatred of Bristol Rovers was far more intense and his proof was we never burned down our rivals ground like they did?

 

[stockton]

2004, Championship, Wimbledon away, night match at Milton Keynes, in the national hockey stadium, just after the Millwall semi-final defeat. Won 2-0? Felt very random because of the downright weird stadium! Seats on an open terrace behind the goal.

Derby away, first game of 1993-94 season. Terry Butcher went on a spending spree which saw some of our new signings drive the wrong way around a roundabout and get injured. Lost 5-0, loads of 'infighting' amongst sunlun fans, one lad ran across the pitch and hoyed his shirt at Butcher. Ridiculous.

 

[oldboycomeshome]

Was a league game mate, in the 3rd division season

Remember being in their supporters club before the match Sunderland fans playing ' bingo' with beermats

 

[Yorkshires finest]

Rotherham away, december 2003, coldest match ive been too, won 2-0, with 2 goals from marcus stewart, and a funny goal celebration, also glass cermented into top of walls outside of millmoor.....its him again and streaker dressed up as chickens

 

[Locke's SAFC]

Luton away during the away fans ban.

Managed to get a ticket for the seats behind the goal.

Must have been a thousand SAFC got in.

Blackpool away 1987. Watched the match from 3 different parts of the ground. Kid from a school hoyed a corner flag into the Blackpool fans like a javelin.

Hartlepool away in a friendly. For some reason a few of us got onto the pitch and lay down on the touch line like a Sunday league match and watched it from there, no one shifted us.

Man City away 88/89. Think we drew 1-1. The season Man City went up. Can't remember much about it except think Gordon Armstrong scored for us.

Leeds away 88/89. Must have been a good 7,000 there. Centre pens were rammed, bit of a crush. Leeds fans to our right jumping over the pens singing that: "one more pen to go before we get to you" shite.
