your best away day

[wilko1]

I was at Anfield, and Newcastle, and of course Wembley 83 x 2
But nothing has ever come close to the elation of surviving Hereford
The relief made it the best ever moment...and the journey back was pretty special too

 

[atfc village]

Been a few , Palace when it was proper, le Havre pre season, Chesterfield ,Southend and Stoke spring to mind

How could i forget Le Harve 05

I wasn't at any of them (I'm jealous) but:

Liverpool 83 FA Cup
Sheff Wednesday 83 semi. remember listening to it on radio and watching highlights in the evening like it was yesterday.
Newcastle 79. As a five year old I don't remember the game just the open top bus parade to celebrate.

Over years have prob only been to 30 plus away games. 2 that stand out were Palace away when we were outplayed for 90mins and Ward scored winner in injury time. Another I will never forget going back a long time in FA cup Think it was Palace again and after drawing home and away, 2nd replay at Stanford Bridge. I think we lost but turned up 10min before kick off and had a job to get in. Attendance I think was I think 60,000.

Ipswich November 1990 freezing (only wore my Albion shirt) good job we won 3-1,first time i'd seen us win away from home and the stand was physically bouncing (thought it might collapse) under the weight of fans jumping up and down.........

Cardiff 2004 & Hereford tops.....Anfield and Old Trafford special but Ipswich 1990 will always stand out in my mind.

Hereford followed by Peterborough in the FA Cup with the flares, whenever that was ?

 

[Eeyore]

best day
best night
horrible morning after

I was 10, so thankfully exempt from the third one.

 

[Notters]

Mine has to be Hereford felt like we were going to war that day followed by Leicester away 1994 taking out a prem club.Stuart Monday scored an amazing goal.

Highbury, Cup Semi Final.

Highbury FA Cup semi-final, it was truly an amazing day

Has to be the semi final at Highbury

Hmmmm, I don't think neutral and away are the same, weirdly.

 

[samtheseagull]

Peterborough away a few years ago when we won 3-0 in the league one champions season. We absolutely battered them and could of been 8-0 easy. Great noise as well in the old terrace

 

[amexer]

Yes 60,000 Many years ago maybe somebody knows how to check this

 

[Mr Bridger]

Too much riding on the Hereford game to enjoy.

Semi final at Highbury for me.

you must be getting confused with a cup game against Chelsea ? I wasn't at the BHA/Palace replay but thought the crowd was around 18k ,might be wrong

54000 springs to mind Brighton highest crowd they had played in up to that point the 50s or 60s ? Chelsea away

Not the FA cup game in the snow then

Has to be Newcastle 79 - nothing will ever beat that feeling although Anfield 83 was not a bad second. The excitement of the long coach up overnight. The majority of locals who wanted us to win as it kept Sunderland down, a match we never looked like losing and the euphoria at the final whistle. Even yesterday, when singing along to 'We are Brighton' brought back memories of that day.

I don't see how anyone can really describe Hereford as a best away 'day'. The outcome may have been great but nobody can really have enjoyed the whole day including the game. The week leading up to the game was nervous, the drive to Hereford more so, the game probably one of the least enjoyable matches ever given what was at stake and then at the final whistle definitely more relief than anything else.

I agree 100% except I hired a Mk 1 Escort estate from Railway Garage in Worthing and drove up with a car full.

So many! However Millennium Stadium v Bristol City has been the best away day by far despite quite poor game! Also enjoyed our 4-0 vs Charlton on 2010 as well as Nathan Jones first managerial win at Fulham last year!

Chester 1 BHA 7. Think it was about 2001. BZ scored a hat-trick.
