First Away Game (38 replies)
I was 10 and it was the FA Cup 3rd Round tie away at Halifax, November 67 I think. I actually went on my own, I think you could pay on the day and I got a Smiths Coach from the Gospel Oak with lots of other Blues fans. It was a bit traumamatic for me as at the services some Leicester fans stole my scarf, the rest of the coach had a whip round for me to get another scarf which was nice but I remember the whispers about me being on my own at my age etc etc and I really can't remember how I managed to convince my mom to let me go. We had a good following and I can remember us wearing all red. We won the game 4-2 and it was the start of a famous cup run for us and I attended every game including the away draw at Highbury. I was well looked after by the Blues fans that day and it will always live on in my memory.
