Your First/Last Away game?

[Bruce Rioja]

First - Bradford City 1983

Last - Leicester City 2013

[Armchair Wanderer]

My first away game was probably one of the London games in the early nineties.
Last one... Sheff Weds 2014.

[adamworthy2002]

First
FA Cup Semi Final vs Villa in 2000 at Wembley (if that counts)

Last
Sheffield Wednesday last month

[Lost Leopard Spot]

First - gawd knows, my memory doesn't stretch that far back, not to specifics anyway.
Last - probably Derby 2014 (or was it Forest??)

You were at Derby, remember you tried to kill me, helpful how you forget such details.

I was at both, I just can't remember which one was last. When was Forest away? I'm going to have to google it...

I seem to recall that Forest away was an early-season gubbing.

Yea, I looked it up. 3-0 to them way back in August.
My last away match was therefore the Derby game.

Which was a dull 0-0

Which was a dull 0-0

Indeed, one of the dullest games I've ever watched. Livened up beforehand by meeting you, but so unmemorable otherwise I couldn't even remember whether it was this year or last.

[mcflykyle182]

First - Everton away (2003/04). Djorkaeff brace, 2-1 win. Duncan Ferguson scored for them I think.

Last - Sunderland FA Cup (2012/13) Sordell brace, 2-0 win.

[Gary the Enfield]

My first Bolton game would have been early '90's as I never saw them away until I moved to London in '89.

My last one was QPR when Ream broke his nose.

[Always hopeful]

First - Blackpool 1977 (day after boxing day)
Last - Stoke @ Wembley (day I'd rather forget)

[TonyDomingos]

First - can't remember, but almost certainly somewhere in the north west in the mid '70s.
Last - Charlton 2014.

A couple of random aways always stick in my mind:
Shrewsbury in 1980 - won 1-2 on a wet Tuesday night; first away win in about a year or so. The faithful partied like it was 1999.
Carlisle in 1983 - lost 5-0 on a wet Tuesday night. Nevertheless, the handful of Wanderers in attendance partied like it was 1999. IIRC, the "terracing" was, in fact, railway sleepers.

[scotty]

First - Huddersfield in 1992 IIRC.
Last - Shef Wed April 2014.

[Muur]

First - Wigan 2009, 0-0
Last - same

If Wembley counts then 0-5 vs Stoke...

[LeverEnd]

First - Wigan 2009, 0-0
Last - same

If Wembley counts then 0-5 vs Stoke...

Don't be despondent, you'll see far more 0-0s than 0-5s this season.

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?..........................

Went to all those home games. God, they were a grim time. Particularly remember the Grimsby & Chelsea games as real missed opportunities to get out of trouble
