That West Brom game is my son's favourite away game, quite odd when you consider he was at the Emirates, WHL and Old Trafford in our debut season and it was bizarre seeing half the West Brom fans leave with half an hour of the game still to go. I think the Wendies 4-2 game and the Newcastle, Arsenal and Old Trafford games in our PL debut season where the best, though I'm still bitter about the fact that I had to be away for the Yeovil game. Edit: Forgot Fulham away, that was a great night.
Most away days when i have stayed over and made a full day and night of it. Or London games, for the crack too. But purely for football its gotta be Old Trafford, listening to all those cockneys and Irishmen screaming for the ref to blow for full time!! If Bernard Mendy had of been arsed enough to play all the time like he did in those 20 minutes what a player he woulda been. Terrorised Evra, one of the best full backs in the world.
Of course envious never experienced the Premier League ,yet! But my great away experiences are Chelsea 66 2-2,Bramall Lane 70,Peter Skipper scoring at Walsall,coming back from 4-1 down at Orient to win 5-4.and in 68 i think winning at Hudersfield 3-0.I remember that match particuarly because i was stood near young Huddersfield boy with his dad.The kid says isnt that Wagstaff fat, the father maybe son but he is class .Respect.
I remember that one, Welsh got both goals. Me and my lad had a few days away and drove from there to Gt. Yarmouth before watching the Norwich game. Cost us a fortune but boy we enjoyed ourselves.
I have a few games away i enjoyed Arsenal when we won Spurs (both games, the only PL ground to be unbeaten at, and not to concead a goal in the 2 years in the prem) Chelsea 1st game of the season 09/10 when we took the lead and we were singing we are top of the Leauge for about 10 mins MAn United away 08/09 season where we were 4-1 down after 57 mins and we fought back to lose 4-3, watching Geo put that penalty away behind Van Der Sar. Fulham when Manuchio slotted home the winner after getting the ball from Garcia. The win at Sheff United, and the win at Notts Forest. The Wolvers away game in our promotion season 07/08 on a tue night, when Dean Windass got the winner of a 0-1 game. I will always remember this game as it was the JJ Ococha show, and when he got subbed received a standing ovation from the whole ground. Wonderful moment for a star performance. and of course that game at Wembley! Oh Happy Days following the Tigers
