Mine was 5th March 1977 away to Arsenal. The Town won 4-1. I remember Keith Bertschin scoring for us. We wore the yellow shirt with the blue v collar, blue shorts and yellow socks. I liked that kit.
Our coach was attacked by Spurs fans after the game and the windows were put in. A few people had injuries and we had to go to the hospital to get them patched up. I was 10, so quite an introduction to away days. Tried to find the team who played that day but can't find it. I was hooked.

11 November 1995, away to Millwall. Went with a Millwall-supporting friend in with the home fans. Despite all the bravado from said friend about how hard Millwall fans were, my main memory of the match is the guys behind us spending most of the game talking about medieval politics.
We lost 2-1 and Millwall were top of the league. They then collapsed in the second half of the season and went down on the last day after that 0-0 at Portman Road which also meant we didn't make the playoffs.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
I've only seen Town play away from home 3 times. I've always brought them bad luck.
First match: Elland Road - 16th April 1977. Lost 2:1. (aged 1yr 3months) - Dad never took me to away matches again. Second match: Oakwell - 2nd October 1990. Lost 5:1 (aged 16) - Never went with my cousin again. Third match: City Ground - 5th April 1998. Lost 2:1 (aged 22) - Never seen Town play away since.
That was Bertschin’s debut, and his first touch was the diving header into the net. My first away match was at Crystal Palace on Easter Monday (1956 I think.) 1-1 draw , and the pitch was virtually devoid of any grass.

Mine was the 1967 FA cup 5th round against Man City when we were still in the old 2nd division and City one of the top teams in the 1st. 13 years old and went with family on a coach from Woodbridge. Remember it was raining heavy all day and the old Maine Rd stadium didn't have much cover. Huge following of Town fans there to see us draw 1-1 but almost snatch it as we hit the bar late on. Couple of days later they beat us 0-3 with more than 30,000 inside the Road!

That last game of the season at PR. If, like me, you were on the train from Liverpool St that was delayed, arriving just before ko, you would be in no doubt about how they got their reputation. Never been so scared in my life.

That game was the last my Mum went to. She had a season ticket which my brother and I bought for her birthday. She was 80 years old , and was petrified at the Millwall match.

Texaco Cup Final for me, May 1973, a 2-1 win to replicate the first leg at Portman Road, and our first trophy under SBR. I was 13 at the time and remember sitting perched on some railings at the rear of the River End for some reason. Can't recall any argy bargy before, during or after but I'm sure there must have been somewhere!!

My West Brom supporting mate was just too young to go to that one but still insists they wuz robbed. Me and my brothers are somewhere in that mass of Town supporters at the end without a roof.
First away match for me was the 'goal that never was' game at Stamford Bridge:
Brighton away in 1991. Last game of the season and they beat us 2-1 to make the play offs in what was then Division 2. Don’t remember much other than Kiwomya scoring, their pitch invasion at the end and getting chips on Brighton pier afterwards.
We went up as champions under Lyall the following season. TWTD!

Leicester away, September 1988. Won 1-0. Went on the travel club coaches. In awe of the boozed up masses on the terraces. Felt like a coming of age moment.
