StuRomseySaint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 What was your away game of the season? For me it is a choice of: Gillingham: Not so much for the game, which was one of the worst, but for the ridiculous amount of alcohol consumed and random messy London-ness. Leyton Orient: Massive Saints following, good drink with lads well out the way of the ground and more Leicester Square madness after the match. I must say, I fookin love League 1. :-)
Saint_clark Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Charlton was one of the best away days i've ever done, our group of five had a cracking day.
rolosfc Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Gills would be up there for the same reasons even though the football was shocking! Also Bristol Rovers for the fantastic football we played and the excitement of finding out the huddersfield score as the game progressed, really felt like we had a chance of play off that night!
Saint Samuel Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 1. Southend 2. Leyton Orient 3. Charlton 4. Gillingham
Colinjb Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Had a great time at Walsall. Just down the road and full of pre-Christmas cheer! And a resounding 3-1 win. Leeds away was fun too, a true winter wonderland, entertaining game even if we did lose, but it's fair to say we've come on a long way since then. And Carlisle away, oh god, drove all that way and left before we got the equaliser. As I drove past the ground on the way out I looked across and saw the away end erupt for the goal. Oh man I wanted the ground to swallow me up.
dubai_phil Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Seeing as we didn't play the match at SMS then technically the best Away Day of the season was Wembley..... Sorry being pedantic today :-)
bungle Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Leyton Orient was pretty darn good. Carlisle was an excellent day out (and long) and it is laughable anyone left early. But it has to be Hartlepool for me as just such a bizarre and long day and 900 up there.
sandwichsaint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Best Southend Leeds Brentford Worst Colchester Millwall (that's the one single game for me where our play-off place went down the drain)
Colinjb Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 .....and it is laughable anyone left early. Indeed, once you learn your lesson you never do it again.
Arizona Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Southend and Oldham were pretty good. Colchester and MK Dons were sh*te. Didn't get to Charlton, Orient or Gillingham. Maybe next year.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Bristol Rovers - On the lash during the day, 5-1 result in the evening...does it get much better than that?
suewhistle Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Only went to Huddersfield.:-( Mind you, I was visiting friends locally and there was a food festival in the station square including stands for various breweries new to me!:-)
Gudz Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 BEST: Leyton Orient & Brentford. Had Leeds not been so bloody cold then that would sneak in too. Worst Colchester Millwall (that's the one single game for me where our play-off place went down the drain) Exactly this for me. Colchester was just freezing.
saint_stevo Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 I have been to 2 away games this season (other than Wembley) Swindon Wycombe Not sure i can pick..........
saintrich Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Leyton Orient - good day out in London on the p!ss Charlton - see above Brentford - same again Hartlepool - long journey made worth it with good game and atmosphere Gillingham - won £168 in the bookies.
brightspark Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 I enjoyed Brentford. So did I. It was however, my only away game. So my vote shouldn't really count...
fish fingers Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Leyton Orient, Excellent real ale pub crawl pre-match.
Saint Malc Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Hartlepool. 7 hours on the travel club on the way up and 6.5 hours on the way back on a Tuesday night but with so many Saints fans making the journey it made it a fantastic night. And we won. Carlisle after Jaidi equalised and the team and fans went absolutey mental in unison. MK Dons in the JPT SAF first leg. Great, unexpected, turnout by Saints fans. Worst by a long way was Huddersfield. Completely outplayed from start to finish :-(
Andyb1 Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Best Southend Leeds Brentford Worst Colchester Millwall (that's the one single game for me where our play-off place went down the drain) Sorry why? We drew 1-1... Yes we took the lead and then gave a crap goal away. Any reason other than that? I can think of a few more important moments, Swindon at home anyone?
Chez Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient was the best by far for me. If we grabbed the winner after being 0-2 down the roof would have come off that stand. Best atmosphere at an away game for years.
saint_stevo Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Worst - Wycombe. Read my programme for most it. Obviously where i went wrong.......
ladysaint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient, Carlisle and Hartlepool for me cant wait to do it all again next season.
Arizona Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Rovers in the Cup was pretty good too. We're the wet side and you only score when it's raining chants were class.
bpsaint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Worst - Swindon Best - Yeovil. Gorgeous day stood on the terraces, lovely drive down there, and a last minute goal that ended a 10 year hoodoo of me not seeing us win an away league game since Dec 99.
Denzil Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient was funny, failing to get off the train at Romsey and waking up in Bath Spa wasn't so funny.
StuRomseySaint Posted 4 May, 2010 Author Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient was funny, failing to get off the train at Romsey and waking up in Bath Spa wasn't so funny. And the £150 taxi fare home from Bath Spa and a police stop and search for your troubles. What a numpty. Oh, and don't try and make out you fell asleep... you didn't.... you were just too ****ed to walk.
Bucks Saint Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 I have been to 2 away games this season (other than Wembley) Swindon Wycombe Not sure i can pick.......... I did these plus Northampton in the Cup. Thank **** I did Orient as well. Must pick better next year, bring it on

Leyton Orient: Massive Saints following, good drink with lads well out the way of the ground and more Leicester Square madness after the match. I must say, I fookin love League 1. :-) Tranmere for me. Flew up and back, contrived to get engaged, go to a double-gig at the MEN Arena, ar5e around in the Trafford Centre for half a day, pitch up at a Chinese in Manchester at gone midnight post-gig and get served, spend a night out in Chester, a day at a retail outlet buying random stuff and hugging a massive Lindor chocolate bunny, and despite the worst refereeing performance ever in the history of football, Saints losing had absolutely zero negative effect on the whole thing.
SaintSi Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient was funny, failing to get off the train at Romsey and waking up in Bath Spa wasn't so funny. i never laughed so much! and the facts stumps got it on film!
saint_bert Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 (edited) Gillingham or Orient Smashed at both. So much booze! Edited 4 May, 2010 by saint_bert
The9 Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 I have been to 2 away games this season (other than Wembley) Swindon Wycombe Not sure i can pick.......... Having been to both, Wycombe was much worse than Swindon for me, no pub, missed kick off, crap seats, rubbish un-performance and generally terrible conditions all round. Swindon was just the embarrassment of some people racially abusing Mellis with his family in the row behind me and Pardew hanging the dregs of last summer out to dry against a side who turned out to be pretty decent in the end. PS You're barred from aways !
Andy_Porter Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Can't pick between Yeovil and Exeter for my favourite away. Gillingham, Orient and Walsall where all amazing as well. Huddersfield, Swindon, Wycombe, Colchester, Brighton where all crap. Can't wait for next season's away games, tempted to get riod of my season ticket and just stick to aways and the odd home game.

PS You're barred from aways ! Did you go to The Merlin @ Swindon? Probably the smallest bar ever! Agree with everything you say about Wycombe, but at Swindon we played Paterson on the wing. That is like watching 3D midget pron. P.S- got a new non call job, more aways for me next year.
scott_saints Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Gillingham. Don't remember the game but got absolutely c**ted with the lads.
Rasiak-9- Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 This season I've been to: Swindon Charlton Leyton Orient Millwall Gillingham So out of that lot i've gotta go for Orient
The9 Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Did you go to The Merlin @ Swindon? Probably the smallest bar ever! Agree with everything you say about Wycombe, but at Swindon we played Paterson on the wing. That is like watching 3D midget pron. P.S- got a new non call job, more aways for me next year. We were in the same pub pre-match at Swindon, the one on Southampton Street. I have photos on FB with you in the background. Took about an hour to get served. I don't remember the Paterson thing, I do remember Lancashire screwing up a stepover 40 yards out and accidentally conceding a corner. And I have video of him finding touch when in 10 yards of space. And people say we haven't come far since...
saintjinksie Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 leyton orient was the best by a long way, then brentford and charlton. bristol rovers was good for result and we found a decent sports pub. Most random must be huddersfield, drinking in their working mans club with a seriously dodgy metal band.
Denzil Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 And the £150 taxi fare home from Bath Spa and a police stop and search for your troubles. What a numpty. Oh, and don't try and make out you fell asleep... you didn't.... you were just too ****ed to walk. The taxi was £100 actually, StuRumourSaint.

I think they where called Helter Skelter or something ridiculous, never heard such load music in a pub at noon before, was pretty mad.
Wilko Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Orient for the pub crawl Carlisle for the long political debate on the train home Gas for the result Worst - Tranmere. Not a drop of real ale in sight.
georgeismyname Posted 4 May, 2010 Posted 4 May, 2010 Best: Norwich, Bristol Rovers, Bristol Rovers, MK Dons (cup), Leeds, Charlton, Worst: Swindon, Wycombe, Brighton
