sandwichsaint Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 (edited) For the listy amongst us, the clue's in the title. It must be a fairly short-ish list for most people? Teams you've seen away but you've never seen at home: Middlesborough Bristol City S****horpe Southend Harlepool Brentford Wimbledon Luton Stoke Edit, add Watford and Notts County too, hasn't it been great watching Saints home and away over the last couple of years? cue some 'Northern exile' type with a list of 40 teams. Edited 13 October, 2011 by sandwichsaint missed Watford and Notts County
Saint_Jonny Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Walsall Notts County Sheff Weds Oldham Tranmere Burnley
MongoNeil Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Being a 'northern exile' I have seen way more teams away than at home. But I can't be arsed listing them all...
Cabrone Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Orient Reading Bournemouth Watford Blackburn Bolton Sheff Wed
saint_jas Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 hmm... (and yep northener ish) Burnley Nottm Forest Notts County Barnsley Plymouth Leicester Derby (well on Sat)
krissyboy31 Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Definitely Port Vale and Rotherham, possibly Doncaster.
krissyboy31 Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Definitely Port Vale and Rotherham, possibly Doncaster. Oh and Cheltenham, although that was only in 2 pre-season friendlies.
Sour Mash Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Northampton, Rotherham only ones for me I think.
paulwantsapint Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 think it must be bournmouth reading notts county wycome
Saint Garrett Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Basingstoke Hartlepool Maybe - cant remember if I've seen them at home. Tranmere Wimbledon
Saint_Jonny Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Walsall Notts County Sheff Weds Oldham Tranmere Burnley Oh bollards I was at that Burnley home game the day we were relegated to L1. Must have pushed it out of my memory like an unwanted turd.
Nexstar Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Interesting question. I've seen 31 teams away from home and Barnet (Pre-season) is the only team that I haven't seen at St. Mary's.
saintmatt Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 I've seen a lot of teams play away from home at St Mary's
ericofarabia Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Now that's hurting the grey matter .... only averaging 2 or 3 games a season since I've lived overseas, and most of them away games means a few teams may have snuck in over the last few years since relegation, but brain a bit slowed by a bottle of red ... but I reckon Bomo (friendly late 70's early 80's) Tranmere (Yes THAT Cup Match!!) Huddersfield Stockport Barnsley Wimbledon Preston (think I may have seen them at SMS a few years back 0-0 bore draw?
Saints Fan Dan Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Hull Sheff Wednesday Sheff Utd Huddersfield Leeds Man Utd Charlton Barnsley
Colinjb Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Luton Wolves Barnsley My season ticket last year covered the rest.
This Charming Man Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Mansfield and I think Peterborough. I really can't remember if I was at that game or not last season.
saints-cris Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Man Utd Crystal Palace Colchester Sheff Wed Crawley (reserve game)
egbb saint Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Aldershot (friendly), and to make you think - Grimsby. (but I've never been to Grimsby!)
sandwichsaint Posted 13 October, 2011 Author Posted 13 October, 2011 Aldershot (friendly), and to make you think - Grimsby. (but I've never been to Grimsby!) I'm thinking, but I'm not getting it. A second FA cup replay on a neutral ground? Were Grimsby ever exiled elsewhere?
Lets B Avenue Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Grimsby play in Cleethorpes. There was also a 2nd replay in The FA Cup in 78 at Leicester. I claim Barrow.
ericofarabia Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 I'm thinking, but I'm not getting it. A second FA cup replay on a neutral ground? Were Grimsby ever exiled elsewhere? FA Cup 3rd round 2nd replay at Leicester (Filbert Street) I went to Grimsby where a huge crowd gave Lawrie a wonderful home coming and the replay at The Dell 0-0 after 210 minutes (plus injury time not recorede by fancy electronic boards) but couldn't make the 2nd replay. Over 11000 turned up on a cold mid week winters night .... incredible when you think of FA Cup / League Cup crowds at home grounds nowadays!!
ericofarabia Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Grimsby play in Cleethorpes. There was also a 2nd replay in The FA Cup in 78 at Leicester. I claim Barrow. Pah ... shorter answer and quicker typing skills beat me to the Leicester answer!! I think I was at the home replay for Barrow FA Cup 67? but didn't go on the away trip - too young for such an epic trip.

I think I was at the home replay for Barrow FA Cup 67? but didn't go on the away trip - too young for such an epic trip. I was 8 and was taken to the away match by elder cousin and mates, but the replay was on a school night and that was not allowed.
vince Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Hearts and Feyernood - both good trips. Sutton Utd, not so cosmopolitan.
Deano6 Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 I'm confused. I'm not the greatest Saints fan (I prefer Man U if truth be told), but I have been to a lot of Saints games, particularly games played in Soton. On almost every occasion I've seen a team play away and the majority of them I've never seen at home. I simply could not name them all if my life depended on it. How come you lot only have a few? Some people need to get to a few more games!!
Saint Malc Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 Of the 78 English teams I've seen Saints Play away (I count the likes of Charlton as 1 even though I've seen Saints play them in 3 different grounds) I can't remember seeing us play Aldershot or Barnet at home. I may be wrong. All the European teams I've see us play away I've been to the home leg as well (Marsailles, Anderlecht, Steaua București etc.). I went to Aberdeen on the Tuesday after the 2003 cup final but never seen them at home. I, also, went on a pre-season tour to Scotland and saw us play Motherwell and Kilmarnock but, I don't think I've seen them at home. Oh, wait a minute, I think we played Motherwell at home in a pre-season friendly at SMS a couple of seasons ago. Was it Motherwell that Rasiak came on and scored a couple, one with his first touch ?
westmidlandsaint Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 Cheltenham, West Brom, Carlisle (Wembley)
equalizer Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 Notts County and Gillingham (both league cup ties) and possibly Bradford as I remember going to Valley Parade when they spent two seassons in the prem but cant remember going to the home games!
The9 Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 (edited) Anyone looking for a methodology, get the list on 92 clubs, then delete everyone you've never seen away, then delete everyone you've definitely seen at The Dell or St Mary's, then start looking into it a bit more, maybe checking seasons you had an ST, etc against Soccerbase. You may be surprised at some of the home matches you've been to that you've completely forgotten about. I think it's only 2 : Manchester City (been to Eastlands to see Saints win under Sturrock, but I think due to their lower league stint coinciding with my most regular Dell attendance in 1998-2000 that I've missed them in Southampton - they were still in the second tier when St Mary's opened and I got my first ST when living in South Wales, and we haven't been in the same league whilst I've had my ST since 2005). Before '98 I was playing much more often and would have only seen Saints sporadically, reducing the likelihood significantly. Hereford United (may have seen them at Somerton Park against Newport County in the 1970s or 1980s though, probably in the Welsh Cup or Div 4). everyone else I'm likely to have only seen away is non-League, like Bromsgrove Rovers, Evesham United, Forest Green Rovers, VS Rugby, Weston-super-Mare, Yate Town, Swindon Supermarine and Gloucester City - and even some of them may have pitched up against Newport in forgettable matches.
