    Chesterfield for the abandoned one was superb. Completely summed up following Charlton - rarely about the football and all about a day on the piss.

    Best away game - easily the 5-3 win at the Goldstone in our promotion season. Great Charlton support and a fantastic feeling as Digweed (the Brighton keeper) saw Mike Flanagan's header flash past him into the net, right in front of the travelling Addicks. Even better since I was at the match two seasons before when we had been destroyed 7-0. Revenge is sweet!

    Southampton a couple of seasons ago, met in MOG's secret bar, met Nathan Prior singing on the train home or playing a guitar or something like that

    That was a cracker, we stayed down there for the weekend. Funnily enough met one of the guys who came with us at the Bromley Pageant yesterday, haven't seen him for donkeys years.

    Find it pretty hard to separate away days from the match; the enjoyment is very heavily influenced by the game itself. Arsenal and Brighton away are always quality drinking. Had a good day at Colchester in about 2007 (2-2 draw), nice weather, up there for opening and just seemed to be a long succession of pubs walking along from the station. Enjoyed Liverpool when we went up there for the last game in the Prem. Had a mint night out in Sheffield after the 2-0 win at United last season, but clearly that was heavily capped off by an excellent and very big win.

    Ultimately the best away days that stick in the memory are those where the result and the game get you going. My favourite last season was Sheffield Wednesday away - my train was late so I didn't even have time for a drink beforehand and went straight back down after. But the nerves and relief and elation of the result and the game made it for me. Coventry back in 2000 is an all time favourite and again I think I went straight up and down for that one. Going absolutely loopy for Dennis in the last minute - I had to trek back up to uni in Birmingham on a Sunday night after that one and do an all nighter on an essay. The rest of the day was appalling but that still ranks up there as one of the best away days.

    When I say last season, I mean the league one title winning season, the 1-0 win at Wednesday not the 0-2 loss which fortunately I didn't go to and sounded like a miserable afternoon by all accounts...!

    Bray in Ireland, 2009. Ended up dancing in the street with Chris Dickson and getting a fair few players to pose with my banner. A couple of good faces were over there as well.

    Carlisle away in 1986 - not as exhilarating or tense as the Play-Off Final replay at St Andrews the following year, but just edges it as a marvellous all round day, with a return to the top flight for the first time in my lifetime.
