First European away game

[Mostin]

Indeed it was. If memory serves me right it was the first one we ran as a club....

How come you're on FF DM, pornhub ban you again mate aye?

My first euro away was the infamous 2-0 Luxembourg against Progres back in 2017.

Luckily since then I've seen us play away in Europe a further 10 times (11 in total) with three victories - Osijek, St Joseph's & Braga!

 

[Rio Bear]

Would have loved to see that.... haha

Was a great trip we flew Newcastle to Bergen then a small propeller plane to molde the bold Jimmy Nail was on the plane to Bergen sitting in the front seat.as all the bears got pissed on the flight we all had our Lacoste trainers off waving them in the air singing crocodile shoes he was absolutely raging it was hilarious

 

[Rio Bear]

Me too!! Going is not too bad, coming back is a living hell....

Its a young mans game getting a bus to Europe. Great at the time but the thought of doing it again gives me the fear

 

[Rio Bear]

Probably the coldest game I’ve ever been to....

Away to Dortmund in 1995.

Absolutely baltic!

2-2 on a concrete pitch.

Over 3000 bears had gone for a meaningless game.

Me too!! Going is not too bad, coming back is a living hell....

When we arrived at the game a few boys were trying to book flights home instead of the 30 odd hour bus journey! Nae joy & they suffered like the rest of us

Pre season tournament in Belgium 1983. It was meant to be set up for Rangers to play Royal Antwerp in the final. But naturally we lost to F.C. Beerschot in the semi. Remember the Belgian police assault on the bar afterwards, it was a bit lively.

My only European adventure was 1992 when 6 lads from Perth went to Poland to the match v Gornik Zabre. We went with the Nithsdale loyal OMG what an experience that was. My recollections were Monty clearing out the blackjack table on the ferry, border guards coming on the bus at the East German Polish border. A day trip to Auschwitz, and 1 poor guy not allowed of the bus to attend the game. Oh and an sash bash in the local disco at night.
Would love to know if anyone was on this trip?

87-88 season vs Gornik Zabrze.

I was in Poland v Gornik with the Nithsdale loyal I thought it was 1992 must have my dates mixed up unless we played them twice.

The Gornik trip with the Nithsdale left on Sunday at 1200 and arrived at the hotel in Poland on the Tuesday at 1700.
Remember Archie McPherson having a meal in the hotel.
