4-1 loss to Rochdale in 2010... was not a good first away game..

(Wembley in 2008 was my first but don't really class that as an away game)

I can remember my first home game (Sept. 1966) as if it was yesterday but I cannot recall my first away game.

Most likely Scunny away around the same time.

After waiting 50 years to see Town play at Wembley in 1998 it now feels like our 2nd home

I was at this game too.


So was I - 9 years old, went with my Dad (who has never learned to drive) and couple of his mates in the back of a Ford Transit builders van. Remember quite distinctly bouncing around amongst the shovels and sitting on a bag of cement there and back. Before days of health and safety. Also remember the disappointment of the result but being in awe at the size of Anfield and the sheer number of people packed in to the ground pretty overwhelming to a little lad who'd never been to a big stadium before.

Huddersfield, Leeds Road, 1-1, February 1991 - interestingly my memory wasn’t the game particularly, but the cold day, the fact we wore red, the chips, the uncovered stand, and the fact we chanted red army the whole game pretty much....


you can take the boy out of grimsby......but you can't take grimsby out of his soul, his blood, his semen!

I didn't have anyone to take me to away games when I was really young so my first away game was the Wolves League Cup Replay in 1979. I was 15 and went with a neighbour. Saw my first real football violence that evening too. 2nd away game was the 2nd replay at Derby's Baseball Ground.

It would be 77/8 season I think I started going to a few away games. Expect I went to Scunny away, lived there anyway, Doncaster I seem to remember standing on an open terrace with masses of weeds growing through at a really boring 0-0 game but cant be sure it was that season.
The game I remember most that year was Northampton away, we won 2-1 and at 1 side of the pitch was just more grass leading to the county cricket pitch and we stood near the halfway line behind a rope held up by large metal spikes just hammerred into the ground (I assume they moved them in summer and put them along the edge of the cricket pitch)  that looked like giant sewing needles with the rope running through eyelets at the top. Remember my Dad took me out of school early so we could get there in time.

Technically Brighton v Town in the autumn of 1965. We lived down there. Went with my old man who was an exile. I'd never heard of Grimsby at the time. Town won but I don't remember being that happy about it.
We moved to Grimsby in December 66 but I didnt go to another Town away game until Scunny in October 69. Town won 2-1 and I think Graham Oates scored both goals.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Preston, first game of the 90/91 season I think. Won 3-1 on that awful pitch and the away end was packed (I was in the seats at the side)


Neil woods hat trick I remember great team performance, great day.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.
