Best away atmosphere you've ever been to?

One of the funniest was at Chelsea, just after Graham Rix returned. Fans started singing a song that we all somehow instinctively knew & joined in.
There’s only one Graham Rix
With a packet of sweets & a cheeky smile, Graham is a ****in paedophile..
Could even see Chelsea fans laughing.

Flip side to that was being guest in a prawn sandwich suite at OT, listening to Harold Shipman killed ye ma, poor old slapper.
Full marks for artistic flair on such a topical subject, but I felt ashamed.

Best away atosphere, 2-0 at the tinmine (Kanchelskis) is up there.

Plenty at Goodison. Joe Royal “Dogs of War” derby. Beating ManU when BigD waved his shirt. Same years later when Dunc did them again. A ManU mate was sat in Top Balcony that night. Said he’d never witnessed anything like it. Pure bile.
 
We had loads of late winners & come from behind wins the last 10 years at Upton Park. It was always one of my favourite aways, then the London stadium happened.


2nd that. Been to a few.

Remember Tony Grant on the ball screaming & pointing to Barmby & Dunc, before pinging a ball at Dunc’s head, which he nodded down for Barmby to finish with a diving header.
 
Dont know how true it was but at the time the support was supposed to be the largest away backing seen at OT,we got a load of tickets for free off a tout for the Stretford end a few managed to get in and the rest were rounded up and made to go in the scoreboard,the league cup game was madness before and after
18000 if my memory is correct
 
Stoke away in the 3rd round of the Cup in 1984 at the old Victoria Ground.
Sunderland in the cup a few years back was good.
Old Trafford in 1983 Cup QF was good - but we lost that which kills it a bit.
Spurs away in the league in 1985.
Villa away in in 84 league cup semi and in the league in 1987.
Many others I've probably forgot about.
Due to my age have been lucky enough to have been to many of the games mentioned by many of you but the Stoke one sticks out for me, we were still in a bad way but getting to the ground that afternoon was like going to the old lady and HK opening the window for his team talk, the players then should have realised just how lucky they were to belong to the blue family.
 
Some great shouts on here. One I've not seen mentioned is the Chelsea FA Cup replay at Stamford Bridge in 2011. An early kick off and a Baines free kick in the last minute of extra time to take it to penalties, where Phil Neville hit the winning spot kick after Heitinger had walked into Ashley Cole as he was walking up to take his penalty to put him off. Amazing scenes at the end. Then we went out to Reading at home!!!
 
When we beat Wigan 2-0 in January 2007 on a somme-like pitch, with a certain Mr Baines running the Latics' left flank.

Arteta pulped Wigan almost single-handedly that day and Johnson's career was nearly ended by a horror tackle - that's as good as it gets for someone of my generation.

Most recent away game was Hull in 2015 when Jelavic scored and Alcaraz walked... a game and performance that still makes me want to kick the face off the nearest kitten.
 
One that sticks in the mind is Lescott vs Bolton 2-1. Yak's debut, as well as Pienaar and Jags. Yak scored on debut, and I remember thinking: this doesn't happen to Everton. Then the last minute winner topped it off, and Tommy Grav did a bit of starey pointing after the game. What more could you want in the mid 2000s.
 
Saints away in the cup early 80s
Felt like 8000 behind the goal
Laurie mcmenemy wasn't happy at our allocation I think
Loads of forgeries but the police let everyone in
People watching from the flats behind
Finished 0_0
With the obligatory pitch invasion from us
Massive fence put easily climbed

Yes I was there as well, went to every round of the cup in 1984, happy days!!

Anyone go the New year Bolton one that was stopped at half time due to the snow, remember the open end full of the blues doing the pogo to try and keep warm, took 6 hours to get home, great memories
