Question Away Games!

[Agent Lomas]

What's the furthest everyone has gone to support the mighty blues? (LEAGUE & CUP GAMES - Scotland tour of 2011 or whenever it was doesn't count!)

Mine would be Accrington - 2011/12 Season - Won 2-1 :smile:

Dickinson (2) - Penalty
Hall (66)

Line Up:
01 Morris
02 Clohessy
05 Coughlan
16 Prosser
18 Leonard (Harris - 58')
23 Barker
04 Hall (Gilbert - 90')
07 Grant
12 Ferdinand
19 Kalala
22 Dickinson (Sawyer - 86')

But of course, that will of course change next week, when I go to Morecambe!

 

[Smiffy]

Carlisle. Several times. Including a 5-0 defeat on a Tues night.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Carlisle. Never again.

 

[RobM]

Caarlisle - won 2-1. I had a disagreement with a steward who told me "You can't sit there"- I pointed out to him it was the same seat number as on the ticket! I still had to move though. Odd.

 

[Jam_Man]

Ipswich. Im hardcore.

Newcastle United v Southend United, 15 August 1992

Drove there the night before in my old Fiat Mirafiori and stayed with the ex's relatives in Darlington. Got dropped off in Newcastle with our Southend shirts on and walked straight into a packed Newcastle pub. They couldn't have been friendlier, real nice atmosphere.

12 Oct 1993 Fiorentina v Southend United L 3-0 Anglo-Italian Cup

Great day out this was, flying from Southend to Pisa airport. A day spent in Florence then onto the game. A concrete stadium with plastic bit glued to the concrete steps to make seats. What a day. What a landing back at Southend airport too.

Madrid x2 lost 3-1 and 1-1 failing that Carlisle many many times

 

[EnglandShrimper]

Carlisle. Won 2-1 last gasp winner from Lee Barnard...

 

[Richard T]

Florence for the Anglo Itailian game against Fiorentina and despite being 3-0 at half time I recall it was great.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I think it would be that 4-0 defeat up at Sunderland back in 06/07.

 

[Silencer]

Carlisle midweek, Hartlepool for a 1pm kick off :(

 

[dingleydangley]

Either Grimsby or Florence (Fiorentina). I'll have to get the tape measure out.

 

[Ricey]

Hull in the championship season we lost 4-0 and Dean Windass scored a hat trick. Longest coach journey home ever!

 

[shallowshrimper]

Carlisle, the day Dougie Freedman made his debut and put us 1-0 up, but of course we went on to lose 2-1. Main memory was the amount of rain the day before and doubt as to whether game would go ahead.

Oh might have neglected to mention we were on hols in lake district at time so only had to do 50 miles. Oh and had to agree to take Mrs Shallow shopping in town before match.

This match apart Blackburn in the early days of Peter Taylor and yes another defeat (1-0) I think.

Yes, I went to this too and I remember driving up on the coach thinking that the Lake District seemed to have extended rather a long way south! Did Hartlepool too the same season I think.

 

[Sam Jackson]

Madrid but if that doesn't count (seeing as you said excluding Scotland) then it would be Carlisle or Sunderland (whichever one is furthest)

 

[South Bank Hank]

Cardiff a couple of times... and some big new stadium in London.

And I know it's away games, but by some strange anomaly, I ended up watching Southend beat Man Utd live in friggin' TEXAS of all places!!! :nope:

 

[madaboutblues]

Carlisle. Can't remember the score but the match ball arrived by helicopter and Nicky Bailey was sent off.

 

[tia]

Carlisle for me,done it about 6 times

 

[amsemp]

Sunderland away in the Championship season. All that way to lose 4-0 in the p*ssing rain. Laaarvely :stunned:
