Haven't got a clue about any of that. I'll take a wild guess that my first away game was at Newport County when I was still in school (about 1980, maybe?), but I'm not sure.

My first away game was Reading around 1989 / 1990 - not sure what the exact year was. I just remember thinking how amazing Ninian Park was compared to Reading's stadium [their old ground was utter shit!]

Can't remember the score and don't know who was playing as I was only 5 at the time, but what I do remember was terrential rain, sleet and snow on an open ended away terrace similar to the grange end before it had a roof.

I also remember over turned cars and mass violent disorder after the game. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

As for how many away games I've been to, lost count - it's definately in the hundreads though!
