So you’re on a winning run, Silent!

That’s what I’m going to choose to take from the above!

I went to the Dec 1970 game - my very first away game . My first home game was v Bristol City , Sept 1970 , didn’t see us lose at home until we lost to Stoke 3-2 in 71. I missed the Hull 2-1 home defeat in the 70/71 promotion season

Start of the revival in 1990. Bouncing plastic pitch. Earlier, Supermac before he became famous.

I know this is about away games mostly, but I think we beat Luton 1-0, Hutchison scored following a free kick for a back pass, and it's one of the worst games I've ever seen us win.

Luton might have had someone sent off, too.

There was a really hostile atmosphere on that day in 1970,it was packed out and very intimidating as a kid, sat in the Luton stand ,the adults I was with were in an argument with those around us when they realised we were Blades,they were going well at that time and helped by the raucous atmosphere were better than us on the day

I was at the 6-3 win away at kenilworth road in the 90s. The hodges and veart show.unless my memory is playing tricks on.me.

About 1995 96? Total shocking performance. The 1 1 at the Lane in 1991, Beesley equaliser, was a terrible match.
The 6 3 away v Luton in 1994 95 was great. Two for Kevin Gage.

Yes, that's about right. I think Hutchison signed in 1996 so it will have been around then.

Yes, they were in 2nd place after the game

Only place that a coach i have been on had a brick put straight thru a side window on the way out of Luton.....about 50 years ago.

Yup

As it was my first away game I was really taken by surprise how intimidating it was as I had only known the BL experience

Only been to Kenilworth Road once.

Working in Bedford I had a Saturday afternoon off and went to see Luton v. Blackpool.

Spent an evening in Luton. That was different.

I was also on that coach! Fuckin' freezin' going back up the M1. There was also fisticuffs with Leeds fans at Leicester Forest services on the way down. It was November 1974. Won 1-0. Currie scored on a pudding of a pitch.
Also went in 1977 when we lost 4-0. Not been since.......

 

[United Aren't Back.]

25 March 1978. 4 1 win v Luton at the Lane. Stainrod starring, a real prospect at that time. Not long before that , a 5 2 hammering of Millwall occurred too.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Best win v Luton was Jan 4 1992 at home, FA Cup 3rd round.
4 0.
Made up nicely for a 3 1 thumping also round 3 at the Lane in Jan 1991.
