Chesterfield FA Cup Round 1 Replay 1979

2 - 0 down at half time goals from the Kevs gave us a 3 - 2 victory.

I then went to both League Cup replays against Wolves and the Liverpool 3rd round FA Cup match before going back to Chesterfield in the league to see us win 3 - 2 again with all the town goals from one Kev.

I've never travelled away a lot so that first time led to a mini glut.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Stoke away last away game of the 90/91 season.

After the near riot at BP I think it drew even more to go. 4000 in the away end. Great atmosphere, someone burning stuff in the seats behind the terrace, corner flags lobbed in the away end after Stoke fans invaded the pitch.

Ended 0-0 but what a baptism of fire. Literally!

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
Pretty sure it was Scunthorpe when Graham Oates scored twice in a 2-1 victory, I know goals are You Tube but can’t remember the exact season but around 1970.


Yep 70/71.

Quoted from Chrisblor
Sheffield United, May 1995. The main things I remember:

- Bramall Lane only had 3 stands
- They were chucking loads of free tat into the crowd because it was the last game of the season and I was annoyed I couldn't get any of it as we were sat in the upper tier of the away end
- Dave Bassett did some sort of lap of honour for some reason at full-time
- Absolutely nothing about the game, can't even find out who scored for us.

That was also my first away game and like you, can't remember who scored though I do remember when we arrived at the ground, the Town bus arrived and there was a good 100 or so supporters outside clapping it coming in.

November 27th 1965...
Hull City v Grimsby Town...  1-1
Attendance just over 20,000...
Hull had just been on a spending spree with Needlers money and had brought in the likes of Wagstaff, Chllton and Butler...
We had Tees and Green up front with Collins and Hill on the wings.
A great day out:  Steam train to New Holland then the Ferry...
A few beers in the White Hart in Hull which sold Cask beers from Scottish and Newcastle...  Fish and chips then off to Boothferry Park on the train from Paragon station...
Repeat on way home in good spirits after a 1-1 draw...  Happy days...

My first away game too! Train from Louth to New Holland, then ferry and another train to Boothferry Park. Town had a great team in those days under Jimmy McGuigan, probably our most underrated manager. I remember Matt Tees scoring our goal. On the train back to New Holland, a Hull supporter went on a rant about how disgusting it was that we relied on a defensive 4-2-4 formation! It was bitterly cold that day. We were all wearing our Beatle boots. It’s amazing what sticks in your mind😉.
