Re: Best away following at the Racecourse and the best away day with Wrexham
My dad tells me in the good old 70's we took 15,000 to Burnley or was it Barnsley?
Modern day it's got to b Stoke away was insane or Derby a few years ago. The Wembley trip especially FA Trophy win also insane |

Re: Best away following at the Racecourse and the best away day with Wrexham
Sunderland away in 76/77 when Whittle scored an absolute belter and we were 2.0 up only for them to come back in a second half that seemed to last hours. We anyway won the replay but my mum wouldn’t let me go because it was a school night ! Birmingham away in the cup was special.
Stoke and Cardiff for big if ugly away following. Always liked West Ham and Newcastle who seemed to come in vast but good natured numbers. |

Re: Best away following at the Racecourse and the best away day with Wrexham
Birmingham and Peterborough from the cup run are the two stand outs for me. And also the Man Utd game. Biggest stadium and crowd id ever been in at that point....when Durkan scored...scenes.

Re: Best away following at the Racecourse and the best away day with Wrexham
This is an excellent post and a nice trip down memory lane.
Obviously, some of the ones that have been mentioned such as the 1997 Peterborough and West Ham FA Cup trips. Birmingham...remember the coaches getting attacked on the way out of St Andrews. Who can forget Kieran Durkan and the trip to Old Trafford and...ooh ahh where's your Cantona in 1995? Northampton Town at the old County Ground..what a night that was. Away followings at the Racecourse. Lots to remember. Obviously Stoke, Man City on Boxing Day (1997) and Preston are memorable. I remember the Bolton game when they invaded the pitch and took down the nets and caused lots of damage to the stand. I know its not quite the same but who remembers the Internationals? Holland in 1988 or 89? Remember the warnings of trouble and CS gas? So far away from what actually happened. I think a certain Van Basten came on that night as well. The fans came and painted the town 'Oranje'. They drank and sang well into the night. The band? The songs...we've got the whole world in our hands....I still have scarfs and shirts from that night. Have a watch around 16-17 mins in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8zd4kyDe8o Also the Rep of Ireland game as well. They were some nights! Last edited by redman2014; 23rd January 2018 at 20.34:39.. |
