Best away following at the Racecourse and the best away day with Wrexham

[Legends of '78]

Think it was 03-04 but may have been earlier, Millwall. Filled out both tiers and then some.

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

Burnley
The club run out of coaches, so many were booked on Crossville buses and at least one broke down on the way. Had my first pint of bitter on the way home, it didnt bring my voice back but it drowned the dissapointment.

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

Also the Rep of Ireland game as well. They were some nights!

Those Dutch fans were awesome!
Was only thinking of that game earlier on, loads of Dutch coaches were parked opposite where Plas Coch welsh school is now.

Great night think we had 23 coaches from Wrexham. The match ball was kicked into the crowd at the end and one lucky person on our coach got it. The Old Bill were actually trying to recover it but it kept getting passed around under the seats.

Remember that - was only a kid and didn't go to the match but the Liverpool 'pink' Echo used to be distributed throughout North Wales and there was a picture of Ray Smith's headed goal on the front page I think.
I remember it was a much talked about event - Liverpool went on to win the game 3 - 1.

I'm sure it was the Northampton game the local police had to coopt Joey to help clear the pitch of the celebrating Wrexham fans after the game. He was more succesful than the local force.

Northants constabulary were also looking through coaches for a missing TV camera too that night!

How many were at Old Trafford when we lost 5-2 after Durian had put us in front.
