1969 away at Watford - was 9 years old - with my dad up near London - Tosh scored with his head. :bluebird:

Christ i'm getting and feeling old these days. :?

Best away trip 1980's Pompey - "wreck the clock game"
Worst away trip 1980's Wigan (old ground) - late arriving, pissing down, wind chill of -1, and no beer.

Good luck to Warnock and the boys "Blooobirds" !!! :bluescarf: :old:

Barnet away start of 1991/92 season I think. Underhill sloping pitch. The best of days supporting Cardiff for me, up then down the bottom two divisions. False dawns, shit players great players hopes and dreams South Wales echo every night when you couldn't get news anywhere else no SSN, web etc, clubcall Who remembers that ???

Portsmouth away 2011/2012 season, Taylor scored for us, class day out.

Chelsea 1977 I think. We lost 2-1, City's goal was scored by Clive Charles, penalty. I remember there use to be glass in the scoreboard behind us at one time but at the end of the game the glass had disappeared.

Mid 80's down the Vetch. Can't remember the year or score, just remember there was about 100 of us in the wrong end and then most invaded the pitch and headed towards the Jacks in the North bank. Also remember having to run to the car after the game with police everywhere.

Aaarrrhh! the good old days. :old: :ayatollah: :bluebird:
