I am starting a thread for favourite away fixtures attended. In no particular order I will start with away at York City. It was a midweek fixture and we were packed into the away terrace behind the goal. Not sure of the year but about 1982 or 83. I remember Billy Askew playing and I think he scored. York had a big larker playing up front called Keith Walwin who was a handful. I also remember Stan McEwen having a decent game.

the one I remember most from way back when was Stockport away in the FA Cup in 1973 - many fans sprayed their docs in either gold or silver paint, spraied their skinner jeans gold, and covered their faces in glitter and stars - it even made the front page of the Sun on the monday morning with the headline 'Hull City's gold and glitter boot boys' - different times when it was all about badges of honour and reputation
Finished 0-0?
Only a young lad back then but vaguely Remember the evening replay at Fer Ark under those huge lights.
I think he was calling you a 'Minge' Vern and autocorrect intervened...
Always enjoyed going to Macclesfield - the burger bar behind the away end was one of the best we ever came across.
I recall the local plod kettling the City fans into that little pen and keeping all in there. Hell of a squash. Didn't even allow anyone to nip out for a gypsies.
Always enjoyed Norwich away...Been there half a dozen times and only witnessed one defeat. Nice pub called 'Coach and Horses' adjacent to the car park about five mins from the away end.
Chelsea 2 Wagstaff 2, FA Cup 6th round. Packed Stamford Bridge.March '66.
Attended the replay the following week at a packed B.P., sadly losing 1-3 (Simpkin stunner).

Have never been able to track down video of the away mtch even contacted Chelsea admin office about it. They didn't have it in the archives

'Some' uncouth types would be tempted to ask if he took her up the Arsenal, I shall certainly resist that.

Another good away fixture was away at Doncaster Rovers. Must have been around 1984. Good turnout and pockets of City all around the ground. I recall some seats coming out and being thrown about.
