Leeds in the League cup (Wednesday, September 24, 2003) when we went 2-0 up against a premiership side...with two awesome goals.
Then we messed it up, but having sending off (and then seeing a goalkeeper score a goal) and lasting the whole of extra time with 10 men...
And then seeing a penalty shoot out!
Great great night out, great stadium, brilliant game of football, brilliant performance by us...just the wrong result.
Also QPR before that (Saturday, March 14, 1998) when Digby got sent off....but we won with McDonald in goal for 70 mins, and Onoura scoring the winner on his debut! Brilliant game

Blackpool away 95/96.. That was the first season I went to away games and I can remember Blackpool perfectly. We drew 1-1 and clinched promotion and it was just an absolutely brilliant day out.. Away end was packed.

Mansfield Away - 1-1 - under Macari which gave us the 4th Divvy Championship...
Thousands of Town fans - so many you couldn't stand in the Away end looking at the pitch - you were stood sideways with your head to the side - would never happen these days....
Anyone pushed at the back - the whole crowd moved forward under the strain....
After the game the players came back on the pitch and started throwing their shirts in the away end....
Awesome day !!!

City away last year - the only time I have shed tears watching STFC and I was so proud of my club and its fans Torquay away the last time (2-2) - Bit of a poor quality game but it was open and flowing football and we filled half the ground  QPR away (0-1) - For the amazing away support, shame about the game |

Charlton away in 94.3-1 down from the home leg,we won 4-1 aet with a Fjortoft hat trick and a Bumchump one-two-three via post and keeper's head.There was only about 50 of us there,unbelievable!More recently I enjoyed Mooney's last kick winner at Colchester and the 3-0 at Wycombe in our play-off season.Iffys first game at Donny was memorable but not for the football unfortunately!

Does Wembley count?! Both 1990 and 1993 take some beating.
I couple of odd ones that really stand-out for me...
Southend in 1996/97 - 3-1.
Great performance that day. Flowing football, a lively away support covered in anti-climbing paint. A steward with a "...big spider on his head..." and all that caravan banter... quality!
Luton in 2001/02 (I think...) - 3-1 (or was it 3-2... can't remember.)
Martin Williams double...yep you read that right. And what a double they were! A flying header and a bicycle kick. Again, lively away support shoving the home fans taunts down their throats on a balmy early season fixture. Brilliant!

Blackpool . God knows when , but sometime in the 80's . Lost 5-2 but we took a "special" train , for a midweek game, and then conga'd on the beach afterwards.

Wycombe away in Parkins first season, it pissed it down all night and he got our 3rd in a 3-2 win in the 95th minute. Ace. Similarly, the 3-0 in the PO season was incredible, great mob on the pitch when SSP scored.
I loved it at Brighton in the playoffs.

How could I forget the game at Wycombe?! That was a great day with the away end packed by 2 o'clock. Can you see a Wycombe fan? NO! NO!  |

A couple of random ones stand out in my head. that qpr game where alan macdonald went in goal, iffy's debut I think. Charlton away the season we got relegated (99/00) was pretty immense, just becauase we were shit and they were ace yet we managed to win 1-0. The charlton fans were pretty nice about it if I remember properly.
I didn't start going to away games till I got older, Supporting swindon has always been something I've had to do myself. Neither of my parents like football so I was never bought up going to games. first season I got a season ticket must have been 96/97. I went to a fair few games 95/96 though.

Stoke away when they'd just got their new ground and QPR away in the premiership are the best I can remember. Qpr away is generally good actually.

I had corporate hospitality so was sat in the 3rd tier in a suit with loads of Manc business men - guess who was the only fucker stood on his seat going mental when we scored! I remember the mancs sat round me when they were being thoroughly outsung, saying - why are they making so much noise? I said - that's proper support. |
