Mine was in the 1964-5 season, away at Hull City. Only ten years old at the time so was obviously in tow with my dad, but remember the excitement of it all - especially the ferry trip over the Humber, and then getting the train to Boothferry Park. Huge crowd, over 25,000 saw a cracking 3-3 draw.

That was the season we played at Old Trafford in an FAC second replay against Barrow, and we won 2-0. Did any Fishy members go to that game/


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Mine was Ipswich away in 99, when Handyside scored an overhead kick and my dad got a parking ticket because I told him to park on a grass verge.

Stoke away when we packed 4000 into the away end in 1991. Brilliant atmosphere and bizarre day. Seem to remember there being a fire or something similar in the seats behind the terraced part and of course seeing what seemed like half of the home fans steaming towards us......and a corner flag being thrown at us in the away end

At all of the above, Stoke and Chesterfield were very special days.

I can't remember ever seeing handyside score. . Any way I can find out as Wikipedia says he scored 4 town goals. Help!

Not sure of my first away game... may have been a 4-1 defeat at oakwell in the laws era.... 94?
