had a mint day out except the result anyway was 14 at the time i think, long walk from the town centre to the ground and back agen tho if i remember right. only ever been once. i must have been to 25ish away games since then but never managed to go to the same ground twice yet for whatever reason.

This was mine. It was so cold that I couldn't bend my legs and Joe Allon was playing in a pair of Reebok Classics!

I think this one was mine, if there were any before I can't remember going to them, was only 8 at the time

http://inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/itmc ... p?oid=3387

that was my first away game and i was only 5 !

Edit:

this one was my first, thought it was scarborough but remember this one and it was before scarboro that season:

I remember this because this was my FIRST EVER 'Pools game, the very first game of the 1994/1995 season, let alone first 'Pools away game. I was only 4 or 5, sat on of my relative's laps as most of my Dad's family who originally lived in Hartlepool came to atch, even my uncle who lived in New Zealand at that time was home in the UK.

It is also memorable because I think my cousin Mr TPP was the Hartlepool mascot at Priestfield that day.

It was definitely when Brian Honour was captain that Mr TPP was mascot for that game.

I'm sure there's an embarassingly old photo of my cousin in his kit taken with the two captains, the other mascot and the match officials.

I've just discovered that this was my first ever Pools game, I always thought in was this http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3322 but it was two months after the Rotherham away game I remember Rob Mckinnons goal from the Burnley game but very little about the Rotherham away game apart from us sitting in the main stand because of me only being a nipper and my grandad slagging off Tony McAndrew all game, I mean properly calling him worse than shite, at the end the bloke who was sat next to us introduced himself to my Grandad as McAndrews father

thats mine, couldnt have picked a better day out!

Was my first away game, I note there seems to be a trend with most peoples 1st away game ending in a Pools defeat.

My first away game was at Swansea when Pools won promotion in '68!


Was it buggery. I was at the home game against them a few days later like.

Stockport 1967 we got beat 2-0 and when we got back to the bus all the windows had been smashed.
I don't like think what would have happened if we had won.

southport 77, we stopped at a motorway services on the way there and i put sugar on me dinner,i thought it was a big salt cellar

My first away game saw 5,000 travelling faithful in the open end and down the side signing we've got Willie Willie Waddell on the wing on the wing' come on those of you with long memories where was I that night in April 1972 with my Dad .............?

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2434

This was mine...

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/itmc_view_match.asp?oid=3237

I was 10.

I remember listening to Once Upon A Long Ago by Paul McCartney and Letter From America by The Proclaimers on the radio on the way there. Great days!

This was my first ever match. Stood in the Rink End with my dad. It had no roof at the time but I recall it being sunny!

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/itmc_view_match.asp?oid=3111

I was 8

This was mine

I was a late starter when it comes to 'Pools, I was 20 at the time!


http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3370

Just noticed old fishface David Platt scored at my first game and Geoff Thomas was playing. I did not realise that!!!

I am fairly sure that this was mine, I remember just about everyone getting searched on the way in but we didn't, maybe because I was only a youngun at the time and the coppers didn't expect us to cause any trouble.

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/itmc_view_match.asp?oid=3490

I have been to Rotherham twice now and not seen any goals, a bit different to Peterborough where I have seen 15 goals in 2 games

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2531

I've never been to an away game

This was my first away match. I'd only been supporting Pools for 9 years by then. I was doing my squarebashing training just down the road at RAF Swinderby. All I remember about the match was that the ground at Sincil Bank seemed to be made completely of advertising hoardings. Not sure how true a reflection of the Lincoln ground that memory is!

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2416

I went to that one, seem to remember Martin Hodge having a bit of a blinder between the sticks

Burger was horrible

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2434


Three of us, none more than 9 years old and we went to Darlo with no train fare and no admission money. We succeded in both parts of the quest.

Glory hunter!

I seem to remember we were stood in the Tin Shed.

Its like that lower league scotish teams manager (cant remember which) when told his forward had concusion on the pitch and couldnt remember who he was, the managers reply was priceless "tell him he is Pele then he might score a goal"

70-71 Grimsby away the journey seemed to take for ever in my dads old banger.
Darlo was my second same season.

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3447

this was mine, 11 at the time and only really remember macphail's dodgy backpass that trickled in the net...oh and i was in the home end seats aswell and we soon got found out as we didnt celebrate the goals,you could say we got a little bit of abuse off the scum.

http://www.poolstats.co.uk/1501_3000/2263.htm

Vaguely remember Ernie Phythian grabbing a Halifax player by the throat and nearly strangling him.

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3748

Not a bad first one

Ernie getting violent?
I don't personally remember such an incident, but to rile Mr Cool he must have really been OTT and OOO!

Bit of a brain-challenger this thread. I only remembered it because it was the Easter weekend:-

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2088

I can't recall another away game until Easter Monday 1968, an evening match I recall:-
