Wow! That is going back mind. Even I wasn't born! First for me - apart from a couple of ( pretty hairy) days at Boro - was the City away Cup game in 1973. Still at school and much pleading done to be allowed to go. What a day!
I was invited in the dressing room that game at half time and full time, think it was Ken Knighton, just wrote to him and asked, got a letter back saying aye no problem. Don’t think that would happen now.
League cup 2nd round away to Cambridge 3rd October 1983 we won 3-2 in front of 4835 ! great Rothmans foorball yearbooks like.
Wow, your first away game sounds like quite an adventure! I can totally relate to that excitement and anticipation. My first away match was a local derby, and I remember the nerves and the thrill of traveling with fellow fans. We had a crazy early start too, and it felt like a real bonding experience. Despite the loss, those memories are priceless. However, now I prefer gambling to watching sports, as there are many ways how to make money in games. It's pleasant to have extra cash!
