Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Now the away days are over for the season, what were your favourite moments. A great season to follow the saints, with a remarkable number of top flight away wins and decent performances. Never really hammered, and not too many dodgy league performances. I was lucky enough to do 10 aways and my highlights were the win at Anfield, the equaliser going in at old Trafford , and the second half performance at Fulham. Low points , dire game at Norwich and Boruc's Johan cruff at Arsenal. Best trip for me was Fulham, some great boozers and plenty of saints fans about. Friendliest locals i found were Norwich. Best pubs; coach and horses Norwich, ship and mitre Liverpool. All in all some great days, well worth the money and some great memories . What does everybody else think?

Graffito Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 West Brom away first game of the season, memorable only for the late penalty and last Saturday's late winner at Swansea in a similar dull game kind of bookended Saints' best away points tally in the PL, within which probably Liverpool and Manu were the best of the results. Norwich and Fulham are always good days out. Sadly we may lose Norwich too. Had never been to Stoke before. Interesting place! The Old Stock Joint in Birmingham is a cracking pub.

rickylambert Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Didn't go to Anfield, so I'd say Fulham, second half we were unstoppable, really nice old ground as well, shame we won't go there next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintoaks Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Man utd for me, quality celebrations...shut the mancs so right up. Fulham was good as well, cheap day on the train, had most of the end behind the goal and a fantastic second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffton Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Old Trafford for me, that was probably the most mad Ive gone after a goal since we played the blue scum. Was a laugh getting the metro back afterwards listening to all the moaning mancs. Didn't enjoy the storm that came through quite as much though!

kwsaint Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Yet another vote for Fulham. Sorry to see them not stay up for that reason. Nice place to watch football, friendly locals that you can talk to and plenty of places to eat and drink. And having a neutrals area means that it is easy to get tickets.

melmacian_saint Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Few away frequents in my area at SMS agree that Norwich and Fulham are the best trips. Nice local supporters, good surroundings and apparently a choice of quality pubs. They also add Swansea for a sound day trip though the stadium experience is less interesting. Guess the fact that both matches were towards the end of the season and with great weather on the day helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fborosaint Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 The equaliser at Old Trafford. Felt like we celebrated that goal for about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Liverpool and Fulham the stand out and Sunderland by far the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Did not go to any . Must be the first time this century that I have not done an away game! Best from a far Liverpool. Man U just does not seem as good now as it did back when the game was played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Managed Liverpool and Fulham this year. Perhaps I should go more given the effect I seem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Liverpool was class. Not only the result, but my lot won £600 and got a shirt thrown in the crowd. Had 2 good nights out too. Best celebration was definitely at Old Trafford, god how I enjoyed that. Love away days, wish they'd sort out an away ST though, would save a lot of hassle.

Chap in the Chapel Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Newcastle. Didn't win the game, but we got a deserved draw. St James's Park had great facilities and it's a city of football people, ideal for a getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneysaint17 Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Palace was a good one. Great atmosphere and Jay-Rods sitting down goal just before half time got everyone pretty up for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 (edited) Couldn't afford to go to any away games in the Premiere League but didn't miss one between us getting relegated to L1 and fighting our way back.

BlakeySFC Posted 6 May, 2014 Share Posted 6 May, 2014 First season in a long time I've not made it to an away game unfortunately, been to all the PL grounds so not much motivation for me this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkhamsted Saint Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Did 16 away games this season. Best ones were Fulham, Liverpool and Man Utd. Only missed Hull Everton and Cardiff in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Only did six this season which was pretty poor by my standards. Kind of bored of premier league away days though as they cost so much and the atmosphere is normally sh.it from the home fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Had some cracking trips this year - Anfield and Old Trafford the obvious highlights but I really enjoyed West Brom as well. Nothing like an away win to kick off the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Didn't do as many this year. Mainly due to cost and how easy it is to watch it down the pub or in my living room. Fulham was a brilliant away day. Really hope they bounce back up but cant see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 My away days: League West Brom - 9/10 (last minute winner really felt like the momentum kicker as the game was turgid) Norwich - 4/10 (just a bad day at the office) Liverpool - 10/10 (great atmosphere, great weather, great performance and great result) Man Utd - 8/10 (decent performance, enjoyed poking fun at the Man Utd supporters, and a late equaliser - should have won though) Stoke - 6/10 (horrible weather, decent performance, crazy goals) Newcastle - 6/10 (never really got going in the game, but a decent point) Sunderland - 6/10 (threw it away but was good to watch a game after all the Cortese stuff) Hull - 8/10 (great performance, really controlled the game and should have had more, decent atmosphere for midweek away as well) Man City - 6/10 (decent performance albeit limp second half after the ridiculous officiating mistake, and horrible injury to Jay Rod) League Cup Barnsley - 6/10 (not a great match but saw five goals and great to see the kids play) Sunderland - 5/10 (bad performance, seeing Reed was the only enjoyable part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latvian Michael Owen Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Been to 8 away games this year. Best for me were Man United (amazing goal celebration at the end), Fulham (great 2nd half & 3 clinically taken goals) & West Brom (Rickie's winner capping the week of his life!). Worst was Sunderland (FA Cup), Arsenal & Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Saint Posted 7 May, 2014 Share Posted 7 May, 2014 Did all of the league games apart from West Brom, Liverpool and Norwich. Shame to miss out on the first two but seems I didn't miss much at Norwich! Atmosphere wise, I thought we were very average this season, which is strange given how good our away form ended up being and we take much better followings than we used to. Goal celebration at Old Trafford was ridiculous and the second half at Fulham was great. Train journey to Sunderland one of the lowlights of the season...and throwing that game away after being embarrassingly good for the first half hour. Best home fans were Swansea and Hull I thought.
