Boro was my first ever away game in my life and it was one of the best football experiences I have ever had. Just an absolute blast from 2:45 onward and when I posted about it when I bought tickets, all of the responses were right - so much fun.
On my 4 hour trek back across the border, I was thinking about doing an incredibly long post about my thoughts and feelings etc but I would rather just lay out some cold hard facts from a mostly sofa based fan.
The fans that follow Town up and down the country every other week and even mid-week are just incredible.
The dedication, cost (time, money, travel and leave from work etc) and relentless support is to be admired. And what surprised me was it wasn't just groups of pals; it was families, older couples, single troopers, younger couples, kids with their dads. It felt like at times there was 10,000 of us there and watching it back, it sounded like it too.
I got home, I had a blister on my hand, my feet were swollen but I wouldn't change it for the world. Amazing experience so thanks guys. If not done before, would highly recommend. [Post edited 11 Dec 2023 9:42]

Saturday was a good away day, an effort to get there for most of us but that normally translates into positive support. And a really good performance on top of that.
Glad you enjoyed it. |  |

Glad you enjoyed! I do most and yes it can be costly, like tomorrow having a half day off work, but when you get results like Saturday (as we've luckily had for the last 2 years), it makes all the bad times worth it. |  |

Driving, clapping, tugging - the usual.
At the base of my hand, had to pop it when it got home as it was annoying me. Big mistake... | | | |

Away days are a drug.
You’ll want to do another as soon as you can. |  |

Same way as I did I suppose, watching that Hladky take down/touch over and over |  |

That away day win high that is chased again and again regardless of cost (both financially and in terms of relationships).
My first Ipswich away day was a 4-1 win at Highbury, another early one was 3-1 again at Highbury but v WBA.
But whether it's been at Gillingham in L1, Naaaridge in Prem or Southampton in Champ. Those away wins are so sweet, add in large raucous away support.... Yeah I need that drug!
See you at Watford! | |
