Yellowhammer 86 Posted October 5, 2015 Mine was Newcastle in Oct 1972 we left carrow road at some ridiculous early time on the social club supporters coach ,got held up in traffic ,the trip seemed to take forever,when we arrived it was 10 mins to kick off so the driver dropped us at the ground ,it was freezing cold and the noise in the stadium was deafening ,we lost 3-1 with Bobby moncur scoring twice ,we did not perform well , we got back on the coach and got back about midnight ! . These were the days I went to all matches home and away as it was not overpriced as it is today. Well done to all the away supporters who will travel up there.

morty 0 Posted October 5, 2015 Just bought tickets for Newcastle away and also Everton away in the cup. Not sure which is further, both will be a slog!On the subject of price I think they are doing cheap tickets for the Newcastle game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted October 5, 2015 I did Yeovil in the FA Cup.Cardiff (although technically not adhering to the OPs question)Sunderland (Roker Park) a couple of times, including a midweek Cup tie (only 1 Club Canary Coach), when half way through the game, the local Bobbies took off to the Home end to try and deal with a load of Newcastle fans who obviously were bored, and fancied a bundle with their rivals. Preston also, but without Googling it, have no idea which is the furthest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coachkemp 0 Posted October 5, 2015 Plymouth away in the good old days of antoine sibierski was a long one, but then so is carlisle, sunderland and liverpool way! for sheer pain in the arse to get to though plymouth is probably the worst. If we have played somewhere miles away in a stupid location I have probably been there (for my sins) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,334 Posted October 5, 2015 Carlisle and Plymouth in England, Cardiff and Glasgow in the UK.It helps living by the A1 so usually not as far as for those travelling from deepest Norfolk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted October 5, 2015 Swansea in the West, but I guess sticking to OP''s comment about this country, then its either the North West trio of Wigan, Blackpool or Preston, all a bloody long way home, just a bit further than Newcastle (*I didn''t do Carlisle)Shrewsbury was a tough journey but is in Wales, and not as far as Preston etc, but just as gruelling.

If wed only kept Howie.. 3 Posted October 5, 2015 Norwich v Ipswich, Sunday 19th Nov 1995... that was the game where Wark thought he''d got a pen but the lino gave an offside instead... (we won 2-1)..I was living in Nottingham, in those days the trains on sunday were worse than they are now.. The only way to get to the game was to take a very early (and cold) train all the way down to London... then get the train to Norwich (not a great route on the day we play the scum)... No problem - take the train back to Nottingham from Norwich...?? Noooooo - tickets didn''t allow that.. had to go all the way back to London and then all the way back up to Nottingham... and on route i lost my debit card.. disaster!But it was still an awesome day and one of my favourite matches!

Mind the gap 12 Posted October 5, 2015 I remember a couple of long distance abandoned games back in the day. We had a decent sunny day up in Blackpool (470mls round trip) ready for an early season league cup match. Then a monsoon hit the ground just before KO. That was that. Home we go. Then a Newcastle league game (580 miles RT from W.London) was called off when we got there,due to ice,I think it was. Quite a few games were called off in those days. Fog/Snow etc. But those two were the furthest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted October 5, 2015 Went to sunderland the night before a few years ago, and it snowed all night and game was called off in the morning and couldn''t get my car out the hotel car park, stuck up there until the sunday ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,218 Posted October 5, 2015 I''ve done night games at Torquay, Newcastle and Sunderland. We did win at Torquay but we lost the other two. The blow of losing at Sunderland was softened somewhat by the fact we''d already won the league!! I think Carl Robinson scored for the Mackems that night...

ellis206 0 Posted October 5, 2015 I went to that Plymouth game where Sibierski got a couple.
