This thread is dedicated to all of our hardcore coach fans that travel to away games, (i've only been once im a lightweight), I know that people did'nt get home till gone 1pm last week so thought there must be some brutal marathon BSP stories out there 

[Knutsford Alty]

Best Journey - The Birmingham City FA Cup match in '86. The outward journey on the coach was filled with excitement, coming back was even better. El Vino did flow!

Worst Journey - Coming back from the Stafford Rangers match in '91 after losing 2-1.  The wheels from a superb season were about to fall off   

[bumble]

Worst - Estbourne away 5-0 and 2-2 as we were on a minibus

CRAWLEY away after losing aboüt 7-1

Fc away on the met was horrible

Wimbledon away lost 4-1 and we häd to stand on a street corner for the bus for a while and it was freezing

Barrow 1-0 relegation season on the tüseday night knowing we pfobablye down


Best - 1-0 victory over Darlo (with ecky eating all my chcolate fingers)
 1-0 Grimsby  due to the sudden optimism we may stay up
2-1 over rushden as it was my first away win

Went to the Crawley game as well but thankfully didn't have the same distance home as Alty based fans.  The gulf between the teams that day was sadly huge.

Always enjoyed racing back home after a win at the Drillfield.  Trips to The Abbey were enjoyable too...

Although generally a train traveller to games;

Best: Darlington 2011, Always enjoyed going to York, Kettering in play off semi 2005(only a 10 minute drive for me as well)

Worst: Histon until last year, Crawley 7-1, Solihull and Bishop Stortford last year.

Winning against Kettering & Eastbourne was delightful but I thought the win on penalties at Nuneaton outshone those wins.

Too many good ones to list ( no really ) but bad ones that stick in my mind from recent times has to be the 5-0 defeat at Eastbourne in Ken McKennas first game.

I just remember coming out of the ground shell shocked.  It had everything a terrible away day requires, gobsh*te fans, a million miles from your house and a dreadful performance.

[York Alty]

I didn't enjoy the trip to Leytonstone (and Ilford?) half a life time ago.  The journey just seemed to go on and on and on...

[Darren]

Don't do many the best were when Skipper (RIP) was on the coach win lose or draw he also made you laugh with his antics

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

One of the longest and most depressing journeys home after an Alty away game was that 3-1 FA Trophy Quarter Final defeat at Dartford in March 1981, as I was convinced that we would be returning to Wembley that year.

That particular Alty team had given Liverpool a decent game at Anfield and would go on to win the APL league and cup double.

I seem to recall that it wasn't one of Stan Allan's better days at right full back....

For the quality day and night on the ale and laugh weymouth in cup we've had better wins but great place about three hundred plus alty all that way worst Stafford 91


In term of games that's ment most Nuneaton Kettering and Eastbourne the playoffs I'd consider best two weeks of life
