It was so surreal having drinks in a lovely country pub before the game. Just felt so not like an away day.

The hill was such a killer too.

And it was pissing it down.

Sitting next to Reda Johnson’s mum at Colchester United and listeNing to her shouting at any Colchester player who came anyone near her ‘little’ boy…. She was a nice lady, by the way….

And - if you stood in the open away end at Blackpool in the league cup in 1997, losing 1-0 and getting absolutely soaked in torrential rain that never stopped. We drove home to Northumberland in our underwear that night….. Similar, a defeat at Bristol Rovers in the pouring rain…..

If you remember the rebound off Joe Murphy from McSheffrey's shot at fucking freezing Scunthorpe
If you remember getting soaked at Swindon and losing 2 goals in the last 6 mins
If you remember singing 'how shit must you be, the Arsenal scored 6'. at White Hart Lane

weirdly i was at all of these..... that swindon game - was it aaron phillips giving a penalty away after we'd scored first, and we drew 2-2? I've seen us blow a few games at Swindon actually.

If you went to Wycombe away on a Wednesday night in League 1 when it was absolutely baltic to see an appalling game of football. When I got back to the car it was -13 and before I had gone 2 miles hit a pot hole and had a blow out. Had to wait 2 hours for the AA to turn up and tow me home.

Hope you put a claim in!

Yep the wife and I went to that game because Wycombe were the local FL team to where we lived at the time. McNulty getting the winner was a great moment but it put her off away games for life

Come to think of it, we also went to the Wycombe away game in the JPT. We were 0-2 down at half-time, then Haynes came on and played like prime Bale and we won 4-2!

I was there at Blackpool.

Left Stoke on Trent where I lived at the time it was a lovely sunny day dressed in shorts and t shirt.

Weather changed and I believe the wind speed was just short of 2/3 mph before ko that the game would have been postponed such was the state of Bloomfield Road at the time

Half of our fans were under cover and the rest including me in the open end behind the goal with some trying to run across the pitch to get into the covered end with stewards slipping and sliding trying to prevent them.

I was piss wet through and drove home stripped down to a pair of soaking boxer shorts.

If, like me you went to Palace away right at the start of the 2011/12 relegation season

Dad took me as it was still school 6 weeks holiday, winning 1-0 as the board went up for added time and we ended up losing 2-1

I remember a season or two before we conceded a FK in our own box by playing it back to Westwood and him picking it up.

I think Zaha scored.

We were just a general joke around that era.

Yep, every two or three minutes a City fan would leave the uncovered end run across the corner of the pitch to the covered stand, dodging the stewards who were trying to stop them. Wettest I’ve ever been.
