Was at both. Did the Carlisle defeat come on the back of a few good wins?. I remember the rain, & being freezing cold on the way back, sat on coach that smelt of sick after a girl puked after too much rum & black. Happy days eh?..........................

1st away was PNE Fa cup 4th round replay on 27/01/1964. 11 year old and we lost 2 1.
Last away was WBA, 19/11/2011.
59 year old and we lost 2 1.
Nearly 48 years apart and the same result !!
Born to be a Wanderer!!
Some say Wisdom comes with age, I may be the exception !!
