http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19810133Having looked at everyone elses start dates I noticed few were from this time. Looking at the seasons either side and the attendances, I can see there were few reasons to take young kids and try and get them hooked at this time.

Ian Miller and Brian (Spit the dog) Williams on the wings What a fucking side that was !!! It's partly what made it all seem so bad not long after when we collapsed - before Lou led us back up |

My 1st match was a 1-0 loss at home to Norwich in '71. Little did I know that the Town could make or break so many Saturday nights since!

Interestingly, what were TEF members first away games?
I remember the first three I went to we won!
WBA away 96/97 won 2-1. Alison and Smith scored.
Followed that ip the following season with Chris Hay scoring the winner at Elm Park to win 1-0 v Reading and then beat Stoke 2-1 in the first league game at the Britannia. Alison and Hay scored two in a couple of minutes late on.
It all went down hill after that!

My first away game was at Wycombe in 02/03 when we went 1-0 up, 2-1 down and won 3-2 after Parkin scored a late late late winner. I remember being shocked at just how different the atmosphere was compared to a home game. http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=20030117 |

That was the Aaron Brown night wasn't it?
My first was Torquay in 2005, 2-2 draw. Parkin Brace. Couldn't see a lot because of the bastard sun. Sat behind swindon town dave on the coach, who showed us his tats.

Indeed it was. Also, there were more Town fans than Barnet fans that day. http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=20070133 |

I didn't go to a Town away game until the Bristol City 0-0 in 1996. Championship winning season, early Scott Leitch game.
My first non-Swindon awayday was with my step-dad in 1991, Hibernian 2-4 Aberdeen. That was much more interesting.

My first away match was memorable for so many reasons. It was a 4th Round League cup tie at Wimbledon in the 79-80 season which we won 2-1 with a very late winner bundled home by Chic Bates I think. The experience was also enhanced by being a 14 year old kid with his mates doing a first trip to London without adult supervision (a fine apprenticeship for the next 2 unsupervised trips to Arsenal & Wolves during the rest of that cup run). It was also my first memory of being lifted off my feet in a crowd crush trying to leave the ground. About 2500 people trying to funnel through a narrow exit onto the street with police outside slowing down the crowd dispersal hence the crush.

I remember going on the Football Special to that one...proper trip. The thing set off, in what seeemed completely the wrong direction, certainly picked up in Chippenham, and may even have got as far west as Bath before looping back round to Westbury, Warminster and into the spider's web of suburban London commuter lines via Basingstoke and Woking. Also remember loads of spotty 14 yeard olds puking up left right and centre having had a shandy or 2 too many. |
