Was at all of the above except  Anfield ( family wedding in Florida ) ,For me ending the Geordies record breaking run at St James's was pretty special as well .
Hope Alfreton lives long in the memory ,for the right reasons

I've had some fantastic awaydays in my time following The Mariners. Everton in '84, Middlesborough Reading and Wimbledon in '89, Newcastle in '92, Anfield in '01 but one of my all-time favourites was at Plymouth on a Tuesday night in '92. We were both at the wrong end of the table and we won 2-1 with a rare goal from Mark Lever and (what I think) was Super Clive's first ever goal for us. It drunk it down with rain all game and the 100 or so of us on the away terrace were doing the conga for ages. At the end of the season we stayed up and they were relegated.

One of my favourites is still stockport away in the JPT semi final 2008. Won 2-1 in terrible conditions and a weather assisted goal. Boston away was good

Chestfield and Notts County both great days but nothing will beat Jevons super strike at Anfield.

Burnley was a fantastic night.....the only downside was that I along with many other town fans got a bloody parking ticket.
The police told us where to park, then came out from the game and parking tickets everywhere

Burnley away for me was the best. I was at Uni for the Liverpool game and listened  to it on a crap radio with three liverpool fans who were expecting to pound us. I've never let them forget it.

Since we've been in the conference Gateshead away this season has been the best purely for the result.

Agreed although Wilkie's goal at Everton comes close
I always enjoyed the wins at Lincoln and Scunny whatever the competition

The only downside for me at the Burnley game was that I got arrested and had to go back to Burnley three times afterwards to go to court 😕
I have been at many of the games mentioned on here ,Wimbledon , Liverpool , Newcastle , Middlesboro ect but my favourite games was always the Derbys , HUll , Scunny and even Lincoln although I can hardly ever remember us winning in any of them

That's the one away game that I will always regret not being there. I was all set to go but came down with a serious bout of sickness earlier in the day.

However, the 2nd part of your post rings true as exactly the same thing happened to me on a previous visit to Turf Moor.

1978/79    Rochdale 2 v 5 Grimsby  ( Spotland )

Town went 2-0 down but came back to win 5-2 and were eventually promoted. A great turnaround in the scoreline and being a night match it had a lot of atmosphere for the size of the crowd. Not the most glamorous fixture in Towns history but just sticks in my mind.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
