Liverpool away in 93-94.

Got off the coach to be flipped the bird by some young scallys on the back of the bus.

Matched kicked off and we went a goal down early on.

I then got a boiled sweet stuck in my throat on the way to the toilet resulting in spending the rest of game in the first aid room.

This meant I missed Flo's 2 goals as we can back to win 2-1.

I remember the odds being insane on Flo to score and us to win something like 150-1. (Or maybe a dreamt that)

Watford April 2005. I was a 13 year old expectant of great things however stumbled on a boring 0-0 draw.

I was a 13 year old expectant

I swear upon the Holy Bible, it wasn't LYDON ....

I then got a boiled sweet stuck in my throat on the way to the toilet

Norah used that one on her dear ol' Da' back in '72, or was it '73... either way, it was on her twelfth birthday, LYDON wasn't aware.

Amazing!

How good was the one-legged footballer and all round bon viveur, Tony [TC] Currie..

You should remember your first away match as you should the first time you made love to a beautiful woman.

A Tuesday night trip in the fog to The Racecourse Ground is just as memorable as the midweek saunter to The Sty for a 3-1.

Mine was more Raquel from Coronation Street than Raquel One Million Years B.C....

Ewood Park. 0-2.

Early away games I remember were Blackburn,Cambridge,Carlisle,Chester maybe around 1979/80 ish,we lost 0-1 at Cambridge the year we went down.
I remember going to Carlisle and Martin Peters was playing for us,I think that was later tho.
The Blackburn game I remember blades fans shoving a big grass roller into the gate and knocking it down.
Can anyone remember that?

Our coach window got put through in Pond Street that day, we were late getting there, and got put on the side terrace with their lot.

Think we all got put into that side bit speedy , I must have been late then so , must have been why it kicked off so so so many times .

I went to the 93/94 match at Liverpool with a Scouse mate standing on the Kop. Liverpool took the lead so I thought ah well just enjoy standing on the Kop at Anfield and forget about the fact we're going to get stuffed.
We only go and win and I'm the only Blade in Anfield that can't celebrate. Either a great day or a nightmare I'm still not sure now all these years later!!!

Remember sat high up in the Brian Clough Stand that day with the Forest Mongs. If I remember rightly a certain Mr Nigel Clough scored the second goal? Not a great day. Despise Forest.

I also remember going to Mansfield and we won 4-3,also Reading and Oxford and Port Vale in 1981 Keith Edwards scoring think we won 2-0.
Went to lots in the 80's Oldham a couple of times,the 5-1 win and a 2-2 draw with 2 red cards.

My first away game was Leicester away in the cup......When we got spanked in the cup 3 nowt. Think about 1975 without looking.
The famous Currie free kick, where he slammed the ball into one of the big daft plate glass boxes behind the goal. When somebody was making "good luck" gestures to him.

I think they did the treble against us that season

You weren't the only one. I was on the Kop too.

I did celebrate our first goal, and got shoved down 10 rows of terracing for my trouble. I did not celebrate the winner as a result.

No idea of my first away match as my mum n dad used to take me to a few, which I can't recall. However my first away game on my own, Mansfield night game, my 16th birthday, seem to remember winning 1-0 with last minute pen WON by booker. Snowed as well!

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

27 Apr 1982 for that last minute equaliser away at Bury.

My mate's dad started taking us in his car and we went to Bury, Crewe and Darlo but it was all a bit civilised and we were always in the stands.

I can't even remember the Crewe result (we won 3-2 apparently), my only memory is that the stand was very narrow, you couldn't see the corners and if one person leaned forward to see, it blocked everyone else's view.

My first away game was Bury too and remember like yesterday King Keith heading that equaliser then my dad also took me to Crewe and Darlo.......are you me?
