where's the joy Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 here's an easy challenge. how many away games have you been to in support of our beloved team? i am sure many will have done better than me. but i have averaged 10 games a season since 1967, which means a lot of losses and miserable home journeys like 5-1 at west ham, and 3-1 at colchester but some ok draws like the 0-0 at newcastle and some sweet wins like the 2-0 at reading under GJ and the 2-1 win at chester under Terry Cooper overall thats 470 games or so that plus around 14 home games a season is a lot of football. so who's our number one fan.......anyone care to put themselves forward?

Big Red Rich Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Used to do plenty now average probably one a season. Oh & I don't think I've seen an away victory for at least 6 years. Maybe Bournemouth when Jevon's scored in a 1 niller..... This season I did Swindon & that's it. Usually do Blackpool when they are in our division. Don't have the time, money or enthusiasm these days with a family to support. Shame, used to love an away day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chaplain Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Only 7 league away games (8 after tomorrow), 3 draws, 3 losses and 1 win ( Ave. 0.86 pts per game) Home games - 13 ... 8 draws, 4 losses and 1 win (Ave. 0.85 pts per game) Glad it wasn't down to me, I'd have had us plum bottom on that form. (Did see 3 wins in the cups though:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 472 since 1975/76 The last 8 seasons have been really bare though due to ill health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 This season I have missed 4 so will be 19 tomorrow. I'm also on a winning run of 4 away matches in a row. But before Carlisle I had gone to 28 away games without seeing a win...last one before that was Soton away in 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Made it to 8 this season: Coventry MK Gillingham Swindon Crewe Notts C Leyton O Walsall Picked them pretty well, bar Crewe. Orient was a great night one of my favourite ever away days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Coventry MK Swindon Port Vale Crewe Carlisle Notts Co Plus Southampton and Tamworth Not bad as I hadn't been to an away game since Palace in the league Play-Off final year. I used to be see at least 15 away games a season and during the 90s did three complete seasons home and away in a row. The cost makes it more difficult now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksy Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think I've visited about a third of the grounds in the league watching City, but haven;t seen a city away game since they lost at wolves when Steve Bull was playing for them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 1 - Warsaw. Couldnt be arsed with the rest as i couldnt see even a draw as likely at start of season! ST at home though so every one of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Intrigued so did a run through, turns out I've seen City at 51 clubs (can't be arsed to work out actual stadium, in terms of clubs moving) not inc. Mill Stad, Wembley and AG. More than I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 In the first half of this season and most of the last couple of seasons City were so poor that they looked like the away team when playing at home. On this basis I've seen quite a few "away" matches recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Including tommorrow I've done 9 away this year. Coventry Mk Dons Swindon Notts County Wolves Sheff Utd Walsall Stevenage and tomorrow COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I just surprised myself: worked it out for the first time, and, after Crawley tomorrow, will have seen City at 83 of the current league clubs, plus 6 currently in the conference - and Pisa!!! No idea how many matches! Too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2City Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 1 away game and zero home games... I live on the wrong side of the pond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I haven't been to any this season and only went to the Wolves game last year. I used to go to a fair few when I was younger and had more spare time/nothing else to spend my money on. Next season hoping to do a fair few though as I will not be renewing the season card. To be honest I've got a bit bored of going down the Gate only to be confronted with a sh1te atmosphere and being surrounded and having to listen to the moaning of a large percentage of people that don't have a fcking clue what they are on about. I've always found in the past away games more enjoyable regardless of the result for the sheer fact that there is a lot more optimism and a much better atmosphere generated by fellow reds.

Red-Robbo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Two. Most of my work keeps me away from home for long periods and I have a young family. I'm not expecting to beat that number next season - unless we happen to make an appearance in London HA9 0WS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Two. Eight in the last two years and my record is 0 wins and 8 defeats. I'm stating away now for the benefit of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've done just the two this season, Oldham and Crawley (Tomorrow). I have a hard enough time getting our home Saturdays off, let alone our away ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 This season........0 First time since I was 14 probably. Same as everyone else, money and family. I'm 34 this year, so am at that consolidating period. 2 young kids a third due next Saturday, I don't even do all home games despite having a season ticket!!!! Oh for those wanten care free days of yore when we would travel to sold out away games with no ticket, or meet randoms in Lawrence Weston or Downend just to travel to a night game in a clapped out transit. Where did it all go so wrong????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i hate you butler Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The Tuesday night game mate? Where they threw darts and bags of piss at us? Fun night that was - Christ knows what would have happened if we got a point. About 500 away games for me - all in the UK though - never been on a Euro-trip. Had my first season ticket in the Dolman in the 70's.weren't it a cup game and lost 6-1?or the 5-0 80-81? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITYSCOUT1970 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Today is my 300th away game with City My 1st was away to Chester City at Sealand Road in Sept'86. They had loads of bramble bushes at the back of the terrace, and we all picked some blackberries to eat on the journey home!!! That was on CATS when you could vote for a man of the match on the way back. This season I've only missed Tranmere away, so looking forward to getting some Saturdays back for the next few months.

Brave...they were probably covered in p!$$! Think I've done about 60 different clubs. No idea about the total number of games though as several repeat visits to some. Managed to do every game home and away including cup only once, which was in our '99 "Championship" (or whatever it was called then) relegation year. Surprisingly was actually one of the more enjoyable seasons going away. When we got relegated at Sheff Utd you;d have thought we'd won the league - probably just the relief at finally being put out of our misery! Sunderland away on a Tuesday night was a fun one, as was the abandoned trip to Oldham, which was postponed just as the coaches were approaching Manchester if I recall correctly.

Who Are Rovers? Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Made it to 3 this season, Swindle, Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. All very entertaining games, with good followings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
