Liverpool win was the obvious away game in my time but the 6-0 win away at Boston was another stand out one for me.

Sheffield Utd away, it was a Tuesday night and the first game after Ivanos first loan spell. Without him we feared the worst but the team put on a fantastic performance to win 2:1 (I think?) to go 2nd in the old first division (championship) Not sure but I think Gary Child's got the winner? What a night and great journey home!
I remember that one (think it was about 95/96 ish). Here we go... http://youtu.be/jvoOfVMQT70

It looks like the right game! Despite being titled 2003/04 9 A season spent in what is now League 1 definitely without Gary Childs!!

Presumably the person who gave me a red cross at the start of this thread doesn't have a ticket!

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.
Les, the police told the fans to park on this big main road, must have been 60/70odd cars parked down there and when we came out every car had a ticket. I threw mine away and never heard owt....but I was in my dads car for that game as mine was getting repaired

Wow was at that Blades game great memories For me Chesterfield away a few seasons ago we won 0-1 and someone from our fans ran on the pitch to take a corner, cue police confusion and hilarious scenes (think it was a bus trip from a pub in Gy) Chesterfield where all over us but we held on.... Then WBA away in that ace season after promotion in the late nineties to what is now championship We played them off the park and the town fans where signing "there's only one Alan Buckley" he had been sacked by them, think final score was 1-1 or 1-0 to them Think Lee Hughes played for them Come on Town!!

I have enjoyed so many away days over the years,
Being in this tinpot league has given me some enjoyable away days though,
Normally the clubs and fans are a lot more friendly,
My top 5 in order are,
1, Histon
2. Ebbsfleet
3, Cambridge
4. Kettering.
5, Dartford
Histon was strangely flat (atmosphere, not the terrain!) for me, despite us winning 6-1 or whatever. Remember a good night at Cambridge in Scott n Hurst's first or second season when we played brilliantly and we sang through most of the game. Barnet this season has got to be the best down here that I've been to. Worst was Wembley.

Derby away on Boxing Day was one that I remember but doesnt seem to have been mentioned, especially with Town fans on a high after beating Sheff Wed in the game before.
Not realising that Oster had scored in the 2nd(?) minute and only cheering when all the players ran to the corner celebrating. Wes Parker marking Kinkladze in the middle.
Seeing Digger Soames seal it in the last minute by holding off 2 men and Coldicott sat in front of me cheering as madly as any town regular.
