Here’s a weird one, just 15, and my cousin chose to drive to ****ing Barnsley away on a Tuesday night for a League Cup game. It sowed a seed mind.
This was mine as well. Did you go by train? I got to Portsmouth 12ish and spent a lot of time getting chased. A real eye-opener for me. I remember 3 trains coming in from Brighton rammed full of Brighton but each train had a welcoming from the locals.Pompey away 72/73 season

Ferguson scored for us, chose he games well to score the sodMillwall about '86. They hadn't lost at home for over a year and we won 1-0. Terrifying, with a conveyor belt of coppers wading in, then backing out without their helmets and clutching their faces. I was enthralled and a lifetime of away adventures began.

4 years old, don't recall diddle squat about it, other than straw bales of hay around the edge of somewhere, am I wrong ?
That was my first away game*. I also went to the 'Shots' one with the pitch invasion. One of my old school pals, BK, for those who know him, on the pitch in his Sta Prest, scarf tied to his wrist
Harry, am I right about some bales of hay ? I thought around the edge of the stadium or the way up..
So long ago, I would have set them alight had I been 14 not 4
