Portland Bill Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Most of mine have been covered above, but I will add Chester away when we got promotion from the 4th division. We had the real bad times over the previous few years and it was a great reward for all of us who stuck with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I have had some pretty rotten luck picking my away games. Swansea away 2006 was probably the best fun I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Eastville 83 is my personal favourite as we were underdogs closely followed by Anfield 94 and then Palace in playoff first leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfred Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I find it really difficult to separate the great away games I've been to as they were all special in their own unique way: 4-2 when we thumped 'em at Trumpton 1-0 at Anfield 2-1 in the Cup at Leicester 2-1 at Palace in the play offs 3-1 at Sunderland in '92ish 4-0 at Birmingham in the 89/90 season 1-0 at Portsmouth in the 98/99 season I loved them all; I even loved drawing 1-1 at Charlton a few years back.

NiceRed Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Probably Palace in the playoffs. Though I have a soft spot for a 1-4 win at Brentford in the John Ward promotion season, that I don't think has been mentioned. Packed terrace, good fun. Plus we'd lost in the playoffs at Griffin Park the previous season, so this put that behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always remember this crazy hardcore rocker City fan in a Metallica t-shirt. Someone I wouldn't normally associate with watching football going absolutely insane throughout the match.

Sixtyseconds Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Chester 84. When Chester scored the OB were crossing themselves and uttering hail Marys. When Morgan arse put City in front the OB were thanking God. That clobberd up horde would have won wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I enjoyed Saturday. The support from our fans even after we went behind, plus the last minute winner helped make it a special day. Plus the relegation battle context. Eastville cup match in 1983 stands out for me. We were the underdogs, we came from behind like Saturday and the terrace was packed. League cup semi at Forest was great although it was only the first leg so not quite as special (as the second leg proved). I'll also never forget Liverpool, Mansfield and Palace but only from afar (radio or TV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not showing my age but I do look back on that game fondly. The things you do with reckless abandon when you're in your early twenties. On a personal level, Watford in 98. Plymouth in 96. Eye openers that had me hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasure Red Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 3 for me - Mansfield just couldn't believe City could pull off something like that. Trouble as well afterwards - very bizarre as little pockets of fighting seemingly dotted around the side streets! Cardiff when Scotty gave them hell - never known an atmosphere like it! So sweet to turn them over in their back yard and in the space of 5 minutes too ! You could tell they were not happy at the end!!! And of course Anfield - listening to that commentary earlier of good old Mr Tottle brings a shiver to me now! Leicester in the cup was good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Coventry 77 for me, no contest. Have to confess to missing a fair few of the ones above. Ones that stick in the mind for me as well, are not the hugely significant ones in themselves, but games like, ironically again, Coventry last year. Decent crowd, good away win, still playing the songs in your mind as you try to get to sleep. Couple like that a season and I am a happy chappie.
