First ever Town AWAY game

Quoted from carrot top

Lincoln away 71/72 season. We got thrashed 3-0. It was a night match, crowd 15,015. We didn't lose many that season but went up under McMenemy.
I remember walking away from Sincil Bank with my old mate Dave Solway (RIP) and a lincoln fan ran past us and nicked my scarf from my neck. Fantastic atmosphere at the ground. How many Div 4 games can attract 15,015 these days eh.

I can add further to that game, I was taking a throw in and it was at the open side at Sincil Bank and just as I was going to throw the ball a Police guy was taking a Town supporter who I new very well and he had a knife in his back, could not believe it, he ended up alright, bit of a character at the time and now he is one of the most respected people in the Town.

FA Cup away at Coventry, 3rd Feb 1973 - my 7th birthday!  Robbed by a Mick Coop penalty in about the 93rd minute, gutted all the way home in my dad's mates Morris Minor.

Quoted from USAMariner

Was living down south at the time, so the firs "away" game was the Wimbledon cup game - actually got to meet Bobby Gould in the ticket office when we went to get our tickets.

When I moved back to Town, I think was Bolton away when we went 1-0 up, 3-1 down and then scored twice in the last 10 minutes to draw 3-3.

if its the same game iam thinking of i was there to. groves scored twice i think. that was my fave season as a town fan. went to loads of away game and mostly traveled by train. good times

If someone can tell me which game came first out of these then that was the one late 70s at a guess?

League Cup Replay match drew with WOLVES then went to Derby for the 2nd replay

2-1 away win at Northampton on a Tuesday evening to win promotion,  I remember standing behind a rope by the sidelines as the old ground only had a stand at one side and 1 end I think.

1-0 away at Everton, league cup

Scunny (I lived there as a kid and teen) I think we drew 2-2, Wainman was in goal.

Lost 1-0 away at Coventry evening cup match

  Halifax away won 1-0

  Old age catching up and I just can't remember the defining moment  

1 - 1 away at Hull... the infamous trip of the almost sinking ferry... what year was that ?
around early sixties... Ron Cockerill was playing I remember that....

It was you that nearly tipped us over rushing to get off first was it?

chuckle... when the skipper took the ferry back into the humber and refused to dock until folk stayed where they were ? ha ha ha I remember being frightened as the thing almost tipped over    

Man City in the league cup,about 1976,Main Road was a rough old place to go, Town lost 2-1,local kids used to take 50p of all the cars to'look after' them. Long journey back across the woodhead pass.
