...Just noticed it's exactly the same record as the only other time when...

...I got an away ST, in the 04/05 Prem season (as I knew we'd most likely have a fleeting visit, so get all those big boy grounds in whilst i could - though i kept my home ST that time, so did virtually the entire season)

17/19L 2C 1F with City plus 1 non-Norwich game (Sheff Weds League One play-off final vs Hartlepool in Cardiff with my best mate who's an Owl.

...oh no: 2 non-Norwich: Cambridge Utd vs Southend in League Two (my 1st ever non-Norwich game; done loads since to complete the 92 with a load of other L1 & L2 games); it was shortly after non-league day, so I wore my City shirt in the terraces & cheered on Iwan Roberts for Cambridge, catching his eye singing his old Wales no.9 chant (Bread of Heaven) on my own!

FTR:-

Yarmouth away in pre-season

Bristol Rovers away League Cup 2nd Rd

Newcastle away League Cup 3rd Rd (having already done it in the league earlier that season but it was the night before my partner's birthday and half her family is from up that way)

Had to give up my Man City away ticket and watch it in the Cottage on Unthank as though I'd booked agency holiday time off work as a temp, I got taken on full-time and they wanted me to do a FLT course during what had then become my week off on the rota!

Judging by the number of 'Cabs' in my notes we probably did Cabbage STs then too (if they were available back then)



...Anyway, as you were - was fun looking back through the old data though...
