Boba Fett 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Ok so we know which grounds and fans are a bit dodgy but on a consistant basis which clubs have you visited that have been genuinely good afternoon/evenings out for fans/boozers/ground etc?For me Huddersfield was always a good away ground although often rubbish results, no problems in pubs decent ground and facilities and decent funny and welcoming fans. Also i have enjoyed Loftus Road a few time for the same reasons. The last one that springs to mind is Fulham! Very civil usually loads of fans crammed into 2 pubs, good banter with fulham fans and decent location (Near the church from the Omen dont ya know!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanaryJames 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Fulham (twice) was good, barring the results!Always thought Sheffield Wednesday was a decent place having been there 3 times and had no problems, so I was suprised to see it up as one of the "worst". Similarly, had no problems with the Chelsea fans in the Prem season - a couple even said we were one of the best teams to go there that season despite getting thumped 4-0!The Play-off Final was a good trip with opposition fans who came across as decent for the afteroon at least! But for me the best away match would be Southampton in the Premiership year again. Although, yet again the result was a let down - thrilling match though...

CanaryJames 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Oh and to continue "going against the grain", Leeds a couple of years ago when we drew 2-2 was pretty decent. In truth their fans came off suprisingly well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berkshire Canary 12 Posted August 5, 2009 I always enjoyed going to Crewe, the fans always seemed friendly and the ground was traditional, also liked going to Ninian Park - atmosphere was always good and the option of terracing was a nice change to the normal away-day, went there a number of times over the years and never had any problems with the locals.

Ankles 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Burnley away, we won 5-2 and i had £5 on us scoring 3 or more and when we left the ground heard i''d picked the winner & a each way 2nd place on the National. Total winnings just over £380 and it was really the result that cemented the belief we were going up champions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PKC 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Liverpool 1976 (we won 3-1)Everton 1993 (we won 5-1)Munich 1993Hard to beat those, obviously the results made it but would also mention the Inter game in Europe as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excited Canary 18 Posted August 5, 2009 Sheff Wed (A), last game of the season 2 seasons ago, got hammered but cracking atmosphere and Hucks'' last game for City and Dions'' last one in football. Dion got the send off he deserved just a sham Hux didn''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Green 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Vitesse Arnham and whilst on one hand it seems like last week on the other hand it seems like a lifetime ago. On the domestic front the 5-3 at Burnley was an absolute riot as was the 4 - 4 at Rotherham earlier in the same season. The Kops last stand was a good one, Jerry doing the business again. 4 -2 at Highbury on the opening day of the season Marco Van Robbins arriving in grand style. Wembley 1985. It keeps you going to games though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdncfc 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Barnsley the year we got to the play offs has to be my favourite ever away day, we won 2-0 and the atmosphere was immense. Four and a half thousand of us singing from start to finish, they were relegated and there was a bit of on pitch entertainment from their fans at the end. Grimsby away in the snow in the milk cup in 1985 was another good one, I remember getting back on the coach at one in the morning and the doors on my Triumph Dolomite sprint were frozen shut it was that cold but at least we won the match so it wasn''t all bad.

First Wazzock 863 Posted August 5, 2009 Leicester away the season they went up to the Prem with Pompey. Drew 1-1 (Mark Rivers) It was like a morgue the sight of 3000 Norwich fans on their feet singing ''Stand up if you''re still alive'' even had the local plod laughing.

Syteanric 1 Posted August 5, 2009 Reading away in the promotion season.. the ball hit the ref on the back of the head and Mullers scored from the rebound.. the away end went ballistic! i dont think i have ever seen us celebrate an away goal like that before.. even against Ipswich...jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Horn 0 Posted August 6, 2009 [quote user="Bury Green"]The Kops last stand was a good one,[/quote] Rats....I totally overlooked that one....great day out, cracking atmosphere and when Jerry scored the Kop singing ''You''re supposed to let us win'' typified the Scouse rascals.

Iwan´s Left Foot 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Burnley away 5-3. Great day, great win and great atmosphere. Could tell all the real hardcore fans where there that day.Rotherham away was also a classic.Going back a few years, Barnsley away when we sent them down. We won 2-0 to keep our play-off hope a alive. Great days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SitTee 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Nottingham Forest 2008 when we won 2-1 with 10 men.

Ricko 0 Posted August 6, 2009 I remember that one - I was staying with my partner at her sister''s just the other side of Uttoxeter and had to hitch to the game. Got a lift with a bloke from King''s Lynn (my home town), met my mate for a pint before the game, thoroughly enjoyed the game (was it our first away win of the season?). then spookily flagged down the same bloke on his way back to Uttoxeter!

missing in action? 0 Posted August 6, 2009 trips to sheffield are always good, despite the results, and the atmosphere at crewe in 03 was very good.often find a good night out in the most random of games too, the luton away on a tuesday night wasnt bad for it and so was the 4-4 at rotherham.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Bramall Lane circa ''86. Ken Brown''s brilliant team hammered the Blunts 5-2. Mind you, it was a rather worrying walk to the railway station after the game though. The natives were none too amused by the scoreline! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
