Reet, I'm bored of listening to myself moan so lets take our mind off things.

Wolves away February 1998. Wolves 0 Sunderland 1. We arrived early and got rounded up by the plod and put in the ground, bastards. Bally winner in the 88th minute which yours truly had a fiver on, only to find the bookies had closed in the ground. :evil: :lol: double bastards. I had to wait until the Monday and go into the town to cash my bet. The goal was class though and there was limbs all over the shop. Robbie Keane and Don Goodman played up front for them that day and a young lad called Chris Lumsdon made one of only 4 appearances for us.

Class trip. The following season was just as good when Phillips levelled in stoppage time
 
Chesterfield away, Saltergate 1987.

Having finished my pint I left the pub, crossed the road, walked over the grass verge of a roundabout and was spotted by 5 but Spirites fans. A roar went up and they started to chase me, being a fast runner back then I managed to get away by throwing my white, silk, black and red pinstripe scarf into a front garden and making my escape through a housing estate, as I would have been given a serious kicking if they had of caught me.

At the match, stood on that open terrace behind the goal packed with SAFC fans, and SAFC to our right to on that terrace, it kicked off during the game and also after the match in the dark, walking down that hill by the ground, with police sirens going off all over the place.

That '87-'88 season it kicked off at most away days, and was always edgy to and from the ground.

My favourite decade for away days following the lads, especially the height of the casuals/wedge haircut period circa '83-'87.
 
Cambridge away got beat 3 nowt, didn't get out of our own half for 90 minutes, around 1992, first time I'd seen infighting among SAFC fans. Millwall away same season, got beat 4-1, and the performance was as comprehensive as the score line suggests, it was a king's ransom for a hot dog. About 2 and a half thousand at both.

my favourite season ever following the lads!!! Some amazing away days far better than the sanitised stuff we put with now.

I was in the side bit at Chesterfield. We had a few in their end. It was all very unpleasant.


Notts Co 6 Sunderland 1 approx 1983

Took the train from Blackpool. Changed at Crewe and Stoke , I think ? Got there early and was starving. Had 3 cheeseburgers outside the ground (veggie now). Got in early and leaned up against the pie and tea wocdden shed outlet in our end. Some lads burst in it and smashed the hatch open. Got a load of tea down the back of my orange with black stripes adidas cagool. John Chiedozie got a bloody hat trick for them as he did previously for Orient in a 3-0 loss. I'm fairly sure he always scored against us back then. Bracewell scored ours. Played in all yellow I think..

Can't remember the exact date 1986 I think but lost 6 1 to Blackburn on a freezing cold day I think we were 2 0 down after 2 minutes but scored an absolute screamer at the end
