Away Days 2016-17

[radcliffe white]

451 Posh at Bolton. They blocked off too many seats and stewards wouldn't move the dividers so there wasn't enough seats to go round.

brilliant that, sounds about right with our stewards even though there was plenty of room

[Marc505]

Strangest bit of segregation I've ever seen at Macron that

[Owdun]

8 away days for me which is nothing short of outstanding..

Kicked out of 2

Northampton & Bradford. Almost made it a hat trick at chesterfield.

Top days out at Fleetwood & Port vale.

Got ticket for away section at Shrewsbury only to be marched around to the Bolton end after 5 mins..

Oldham was Shit as was Scunthorpe.

Put some mileage in this season and now deserve a well earned rest.

[SoberDan]

Done all the aways and 7/8 homes I have to say that the whole season was brilliant from start to finish with many memories. I think the best one has to be Wimbledon tho, to finally end that run was an amazing feeling. Special mention for Port Vale and Fleetwood as well.

[SoberDan]

Oooh and how could I forget Shrewsbury... this season has definantly been the best one I've witnessed.

[bolton va va]

Possibly my best away match season. The ones I missed -MK, Walsall, P/boro,Scunthorpe were all grim by most accounts but I was lucky enough to be at all the wins darn sarf - Wimbledon,Bristol, Millwall,Northampton, Gillingham, Oxford & Southend.

 

Best - Southend....... mad celebrations,well bruised shins & the 1st time i really thought we were up, prematurely as it happened.

2nd- Port Vale......a proper allround, rowdy football day out, spoiled slightly by Fleetwood's late goal.

3&4- Gillingham & Oxford where we outclassed the locals.

5&6 -Wimbledon in the sun & a cracking game & win at Bristol.

7 -Bradford....another belter with a comeback from nowhere on a great day out.

8-clobbering the ra-ras.

 

Ace, money well spent.

[onlyoneawalker]

I was the opposing end of the spectrum than va va just the bogwank that was Rochdale and Oldham for me arrrr well I'll let em off

[paulhanley]

A very poor show from me. Went to one away game only - Oxford, my place of residence since 2002. Ought really to have at least gone to Swindon but a combination of sulking after the loss at home to Oxford and work meant I didn't. 

 

Anyway - Oxford 2 Bolton 4 was quite a night. The first visit of BWFC since I've been living here. About 600 Wanderers fans present despite it being a chilly Tuesday night - and a great atmosphere in the away end. Tried to dish out some stick at work the day after but the U's fans were all very magnanimous.

 

I have managed 11 home games despite living 175 miles away - so I've not abandoned ship altogether! 

 

For the record ... if there's one away game I wish I'd been at, it would have been the 0-2 against The Buckets

[gonzo]

I have no recollection of either Swindon match.

[Leyther_Matt]

I have no recollection of either Swindon match.

Away game was whilst I was on a stag do in Magaluf. Wrenched myself out of bed, found a bar with it on and then watched it through my hands because my body was fighting the hangover so much that I couldn't support the weight of my own head. Awful game from what I recall.

[Matt Lofthouse]

Best away port vale.

Worst away Rochdale.

 

Basically 2 completely different teams for us, Thorpe, Moxey, Trotter, Anderson, Proctor, Taylor, Wilson etc.

[matty2094]

Rochdale, Bury, Oldham, Walsall, Bradford, Sheff, Blackpool. Not great but bought my first house just before Christmas so that's my excuse financially.

 

Of those 7 - 1 win, 1 draw, 5 losses. Hardly surprising that we Improved our away form shortly after I couldn't go to any more.

Both decent pre-game events fucked up by the football.

[big gal]

I only managed bury and rochdale. 

 

After the rochdale game I was convinced that this was going to be a terrible season!

whilst it was only our 2nd defeat in 10, you can see why you would think that when you look at the starting XI

 

Howard

Wilson

Thorpe

Wheater

Moxey

Spearing

Henry

Taylor

Trotter

Anderson

Proctor

 

Vela, Clough and Ameobi all came off the bench, but fuck me, there's some shit in there (in bold), and some average ones compared to who we finished the season with (in italics)

[HazzyinBolton]

Went to 2 away games - Chesterfield & Oldham. Didn't see a goal! Poor effort from me & the team!

[Dr Faustus]

Good return for me this year;

 

with kids

Wimbledon

Scunthorpe

Oldham 

Port Vale

 

without

Bristol Rovers

Rochdale

Fleetwood

Southend

 

getting lobbed out of the pub in Southend was comical, Wimbledon was ace, attempting to follow a Warbies van home from Bristol was farcical...

 

some great memories, sharing them with my eldest and youngest made them all the more special

[marple whites]

13 aways for me

 

new grounds - fleetwood, scunthorpe, northampton, mk dons, coventry

loved - shrewsbury, fleetwood, port vale

hated - rochdale, oldham

enjoyed - second half at bradford, last minute equaliser at coventry (to then find I had a parking ticket)

[DirtySanchez]

Went to 2 away games - Chesterfield & Oldham. Didn't see a goal! Poor effort from me & the team!

Same amount for me

 

Sheff utd (I believe I was there) and Scunthorpe

 

Mind I did miss Scunthorpe's goal as was having a pint. In my mind it didn't happen so a nil nil draw

[Super Bock]

Managed 15 away and 6 at home this season. Loved every minute it of it.

 

I will be cutting back next season as I have just bought a house that needs a gutting. 

 

I'll still be doing the London ones so back to paying £40 to watch us play the likes of QPR, looks like a few of the London brigade will do a weekend for one of them with Swansea being the front runner.

[Zico]

Same amount for me

 

Sheff utd (I believe I was there) and Scunthorpe

 

Mind I did miss Scunthorpe's goal as was having a pint. In my mind it didn't happen so a nil nil draw

 

by that logic, Sheff Utd was 0-0 for you as well

[MancWanderer]

Finances meant it was one of my poorest seasons for aways (and homes). Even Mrs Manc said I should start sticking some money away each month to spend on the footy

[TrickyTrotter]

Decent performance from us, just outside the Top 10 with one Champ game to go.
