I can't even remember what games I went to last season, but think the only win away was Palace.
I think i went to:
colchester, luton, leicester, blackpool, ipswich, qpr - no wins
To be honest, I think if I were to tally up all my away fixtures over the past forty odd years, I doubt the percentage would be much better, so aside from the occasional promotion seasons, it's not a new phenomenon.
Last away win for me was Sheff Wed in the cup a few seasons back and before that probably the spuds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(
oooh went to chesterfield!
i think i've seen a few over the years, some memorable wins, some lucky, and I went to nottingham and was happy with a point and enjoyed the match and the day out.
I don't go for the result mainly anyway, its an added bonus! I wouldn't say "i'm not going to blahblah because we won't win"
ohhhh also, saw us beat chelsea in the cup - but obviously that didn't really happen so i shouldn't have mentioned it. penalties don't count.

I absolutely loved my visit to Chesterfield....found the most delightful B&B in a secluded valley near the town and spent the day trumping up a bit of new local business here and there...a super little town and the ground was as charming as it gets in this day and age, a 'real' old football ground with wooden bench seats and a coal fire in the directors lounge...complete with oak wood paneling and rugs on the floor...sent me back 50 years it did and I loved every nook and crany of the place...sad it's now gone!
Very few stadiums left like that.
I drove up to chesterfield and remember it being SOOOOO cold, but we found a lovely pub before the game to meet in, which was cosy, played Beatles music and they were really friendly.

Didn't we go something like a year without an away win prior to that game?
