What was your first ever AWAY game?

[1066gull]

vs. Reading 2005

 

[Scoffers]

oxford, mid-late 80s

 

[Strike]

Palarse 2005 (Apart from Mill Stad 2004). Sorry.

 

[pasty]

Good grief - I haven't got a scooby! First home game was Feb '74 so probably some time shortly after that. Used to go all over with my dad.

 

[Sonic]

Probably Stockport - sometime early 90's.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Walsall - lost one nil. Beasant debut I think and Zamora hit the post and crossbar.

Only been to 5 away games in total.

Happy to stick to home matches

I had the WORST hangover at that game. Had been staying in Nottingham and drove (probably still WAY over the limit) to the game. The Walsall own brand water and radioactive pies did not help.

 

[Parson Henry]

Crystal Palace

23 September 1975 - aged 16

1-0 to us

Marvellous

Barry Butlin scored..mine too Hiney!!

Ah the Battle of Bescot Stadium Station.

Mr Mullet suggesting to the yam yam in the brown leather jacket that he looked so gay maybe he should come back to Brighton with us, sparked something of an incident.

Fantastic use of an orange and direct hit on a while Stone Island jumper by the Oaf during the conflict....

 

[CHAPPERS]

Good old Oaf. I nearly got knocked over by a few Albion running to get involved in that particular battle.

Why hasn't LI responded to this thread?

Too early in his Albion career to go away.

You could tell that yam yams are poor, they would only throw 2p's at us. At least down sarf you get sharpened 50p's.

[Da Man Clay]

Away to Watford last year (1-1). Virgo's goal was one of the best I have ever seen live.

 

[Citrus in Sheffield]

Winning 1-0 at Underhill in 2000 (I think)?

 

[Storer68]

West Brom - League Cup 1975


i was at the Forst game also ( we lost 1 or 2 nil didnt we?) huge fight in the car park as we were getting on the coaches - Didnt a train break down too?

actually lost 1-3. But then they were the reigning European Champions. I remember it was an absolutley filthy night (poured with rain) and we were competitive all night right up until Birtles (I think) scored their second)
Wardy equalised early in the second half (it was the main match on BBC Radio 2 when they were only allowed to broadcast the 2nd half of live games!)

 

[Storer68]

Pompey 1981(?) we got beat 5-1 & it pissed down

1981 - don't be silly

We were in Division 1 and they were in the old Division 4.

I was actually 1984 and yes that was Willie Young getting the run around in the heart of our "defence"

 

[O Lads]

Last year at Watford- Age 14
1-1 draw, stunning Virgo volley for the 'last gasp' equaliser

 

[sully]

My first game was in 1975(ish). Aldershot. 1-1 score
11,000 crowd inc 8,000 albion. We just missed out on promotion.

I believe that was my first away game, too.

The crossbar at the park end was broken at the end of the game.

I didn't realise there were any Aldershot fans there.

One of the schoolmates I was travelling with got off the train while it was still going pretty fast at Redhill and somehow managed a majestic forward roll and virtually no injuries!

 

[portlander]

Of all places, Northampton away in about 1975. Can't remember what prompted the decision to start there, but took the Seagulls special and was hooked. We won 2-0, I think Peter Ward scored as he usually did in those days. Ther threw bricks at us from behind the terraces, nice friendly types.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

V Palace (1987ish) Five penalties, Kelvin Morton, Wright and Bright!

And that was your first away game? Very good

And we were one nil up at half time I think. And at the end, it pissed down with rain and the bloke on the tannoy went through all the second half goalscorers.

Whayt a bunch of twats they are. I long for the day we can do something like that back to them.
