Coventry and anyone of the 3 games at Liverpool for me.

Wolves was also great in the League Cup.  We nearly won.

It will be good to say in the years to come,

Remember when we were in the Conference and we took 3,000 to Alfreton,

The year we got promoted from that tinpot league.

We were every where in the Home end and all the other stands full of happy mariners.

Quoted from nickmariners
1) Coventry away, FA Cup 1970-something.

Even though we lost in dramatic circumstances, the sight of their Spion Kop entirely Black & White with "Mariners" ringing out was just fantastic.  Must've been about 8,000 (?) Town there.

2) Drawing away at West Ham FA Cup 1990-something.  Freezing cold, midweek, thousands of Town fans, "Free Arthur Fowler" ringing out.


I seem to remember it was in excess of 15000 that day. It took us 5 hours to get there, the A46 was rammed with Town fans

Middlesbrough, Ayresome Park..Marc North.

Brilliant.


Not so brilliant being pelted with coins by the 'Boro fans after the game though.  

We'd have got a lot more publicity if Sutton hadn't beaten Coventry too that day.

Bradford away in (I think...) 1991.  We took loads (I remember packed service stations along the way), completely outplayed them and I was stood right behind the net where our goals went in.  We went top of the league as I remember.

Oh, and here it is...

Cardiff away, April 1976. Set off at midnight on a 50cc 30mph single speed Honda Novio moped. Got to Ninian Park with 10 minutes to spare escorted by a totally disbelieving motor cycle cop who I had asked directions from. Brought the illegitimate back on the train.

Mansfield 1980 when we clinched promotion with Town fans filling 3 sides of the ground.

Since 91, it would have to be Burnley away in the auto for me


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Too many to pick one out but some great away days at the old Show Ground when we regularly won there.
