Grimsby away. Car was wrecked but I wanted to get there. Was with a lass. Car spun and she went mad but I carried on. Dropped it in a garage. Got in. Getting pissed on not covered. Terrible day. Penalty conceded. New signing Harford sent off. Game over. Car written off. Thumbed it home. Lass packed me in. Rightly so.Flipping the other thread on its head, what's the worst away experience you've had.
Not in terms of result but the overall day. For me it was Everton away in 2017 under Simon Grayson in the League Cup. Travelled down by myself on a dry supporters bus, lost 3-0 and may as well not have showed up.
Everton won in first gear and there was about 400 SAFC fans down. Just an absolute waste of time from start to finish and one of those proper 'what am I doing with my life' kinda nights.
Aye that was mad like. Was that the night game ?Boro away Xmas 86.

It was day after a Boxing Day . But there was a night match in the league cup as badGrimsby away. Car was wrecked but I wanted to get there. Was with a lass.

The obvious one 5-1 against them. Horrendous.
The 2-0 against them under Keane. Evans and Bardsley both injured, mcshane let Owen get a free run and header 4 mins in. I was seriously hungover too.
Everton 5-0 Boxing Day 1999 & 7-1 November 2007. Haven’t been back to goodison since.
West Brom 2009 under Sbragia, Christ almighty.
Cracking times man . What’s that lass doing now ?It was day after a Boxing Day . But there was a night match in the league cup as bad
Horrible that. Every stoke fan I have met (1) has been a ****. My experience of away games at Victoria Ground is that they are all *****.Stoke away as a Wolves lad. I was literally about 11 with my mate. Stoke raided the pub and bottled my old man while he was playing pool with us kids. Ended up in A/E
waiting for me old man to get stitched up. Naughty 40 shitesters. Got my own back in the bad old days.
April 21st 1986 - oh I remember it well, Alvin Martin hat-trick!Late 80s, can't remember the exact year, West Ham on a Tuesday night. Made a last minute decision to go. Me and a pal got the overnight bus down, arrived about 6:30am iirc. Spent the day wandering around London with not much money. Got over to West Ham about half five because we didn't know exactly where it was. Very dodgy place, so we got ourselves into this pie shop and lingered as long as we could. Got in the ground at 6:30, feeling pleased with ourselves having made it. We got beat 8-1... Three different keepers on the night, including Beardsley. Hardly anyone down, but a canny few London mags. Walking back to the tube afterwards a few lads set about us. A minor scuffle before the police chased them off. Made our way back to Victoria for the night bus and we had a long hungry journey home. Nee money left, got off at Durham and walked back to Stanley. About a day and a half of mostly misery. Still, didn't stop us going again.
