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/

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?

I have just looked it up it was March 1959,

Away to Scunthorpe we won 3-1 in front of 13,500,

I still remember male private Conner jumping on Rafferty's back after he scored.

Yep this was my first too. Needed a police escort to walk 10 yards out of the away end area just to get a bag of chips from a chip van!

Stoke was a very volatile place back then!

Think it was Scunts v Town 1970 Old Show ground.
Won I think👍


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Remember it well, the guy who threw the corner flag was called Davr Clews, he was a team leader with me at a window factory. Its funny how he can be ready to have a fight with anyone in b&w and 18 hrs earlier were having a laugh and talking about the game in works canteen.

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....

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.

He came on loan at first, then scored a shed load of goals so we bought him, then the goals dried up!

I hope it was not me you witnessed getting a right kicking from the Subway army or whatever those illegitimates were called. Just had my leg out of plaster following broken leg and not in a position to take flight, not one of my best away days and things not a lot better when we played them at Derby in the second replay!

Town v chesterfield won 3-2 about 1980 this was a league game I think but we had beat them earlier in the season away again by the same score but this was a night match whilst my game was on a Saturday.

First proper away game (Not counting Wembley 9 was Accrington Stanley away in 2008/09... Went 2-0 down in the first half... Thought the worst until a Jamie Devitt turned it on and we ended up winning the game 3-2.... 200 or so Town fans dancing away in the rain... Many who were half naked! Good Times!!

Only been to a handful of away games.  First one was the April 1998 League Trophy final at Wembley - Bournemouth 1–2 (a.e.t.) Grimsby Town.

First League away game would be Huddersfield Town 2–0  Grimsby Town. Boxing Day 1998, I seem to remember Marcus Stewart scoring for them?
