I'm 18 as well so I haven't got much to choose from either :lol: For me it's either Leicester away in the play offs or Jacks away (Bellamy), although Leeds away when we beat them 4-0 was class, 800 of us and it was bouncing. :ayatollah:

Reading away few years ago, had the old bill running round trying to find us as we had given them the slip, Potato head said it was one of the funniest moments off his policing career, this was probably the one of the best out of many incredible days out with Mikey (RIP) and the lads. Some comical moments, on top moments and down right mental ones. Its was the coach to travel on, will never be the same again.

far too many to pin one exact day:-

Wrexham away around 93 4,000 Cardiff in fancy dress bouncing in away end as we sealed promotion
Scunthorpe away same era where we outnumbered home fans and took over their town and ground.
Plymouth away around 99 when sam hamman paid for free travel and santa hats, 3,000 santas on open terrace to the bemusement of the argyle faithful.

Aarhus for me. There are lots of others I've enjoyed, including Chesterfield in '83, Scunny in '93 etc, but Aarhus was something special.

That was a brilliant day, remember it well, even though we lost, the jacks didn't know what had hit their scabby town, we run them ragged!

The 1st trip to Wembley in cup semi was a high-never forget the ecstasy after the game of taking my boys down wembley way with our team having qualified for the FA Cup final. Great feeling.

The 1st away of the Sam era at Exeter was a good day out. Always enjoy Reading, Swindon and Southampton. WBA is good as well.

The two cup finals..........something I never ever thought I would see, and something I wish many of our fans who have passed away could have witnessed. :ayatollah:

Great day out. I remember Terry Boyle and the boys being kept away from us by the polizei with dogs at the end of the match! Same old West Midlands Police, total tossers.

You always remember the first big Jack day out.

82 or was it 83, 15 years old got on the train got off at Neath (didn't know where it was until a few years later) with the "big boys" looking for a pub !! it was 10:00, coppers got us back to the train station jumped on another train, rammed with Cardiff. Had a wonder around Swansea, found out they had a little St Davids Centre went into a pub, landlord wouldn't serve me (I looked 12) so a responsible city fan bought me a cider cost less than a quid i think.

My only memory is when we scored city fans were everywhere, a few took a kicking.

Pompey div 3 will always be the best though.....
