football ........................................... The road to Wigan Athletic Albion away? Piers Benjamin will be there The first away match I went to was in 1992, an FA Cup Second Round replay against Woking FC. We won 2-1, and John Crumplin scored with his arse. I was hooked. Pretty soon every game was an away game. After the Goldstone was knocked down the Albion were banished to Gillingham, and after Bellotti [former director David] had gone I went to every game. It was only the stupid, the sad and the lonely in those games. That group is still the core of the group I go to away games with. I go to every away game. Things have changed a lot since the mid-90s. Cities have got a lot nicer. Even Rotherham has got a couple of places in the good pub guide. Going to Blackburn is still a horrible day out, mind. It’s a bad situation when the best pub in a town is a Wetherspoons. However far we’re travelling we make sure we get there by 11am, even if this means getting the 5.50am out of Hove. You’ve got to make a day of it. We don’t do much sightseeing, though we usually go through the town centre. It’s all about the pubs, really. We don’t wear colours. Not because there’s anything to worry about. It’s just the habit, really. Goes back to the Gillingham days when the pubs around Victoria Station wouldn’t let you in wearing colours. There was a bit of a flare up of the old-style violence around the turn of the millennium, but there’s no trouble any more, unless people are really after it. Football at this level has become a middle-class game. Even going to Cardiff is OK. There’s a better crowd atmosphere going to away games, though it’s not what it was. There’s a contingent who try to act like European Ultras, and a lot of the songs they try to sing are too complicated for the bulk of the fans to pick up. Spontaneous reaction songs are much more effective. How much have I spent on going away? I wouldn’t like to think. You do get expert at getting the cheapest tickets, but it does add up. What’s £30 for the ticket plus £25 for the train plus £50-70 spending money times 18 matches? Over two grand, I guess. And then there’s the England matches. Still, you’ve got to spend your money on something. Other people spend a fortune in garden centres. If Albion got into Europe I’d definitely go to all the games. Might help me tick a few new countries off if we drew teams in Armenia or Kazakhstan. The furthest I’ve been with the Albion is for friendlies in Galway and Aberdeen. In all I’ve been to over 130 different stadiums. Last season when the final whistle went at Middlesbrough we all breathed a collective sigh of relief. This season’s success has been an unexpected surprise: as we’re still in with a shout at the business end of the season I’m expecting a lot of company in the away end.
