Thought I'd kick off my Modship with a small Topic, just a bit of fun discussion.
Anyway, what are the best matches you've been to? Feel free to post Pictures, Programmes, Memoribillia and general stories from Football trips down the line.

My memory's terrible when it comes to games. But some of my best memories are United away's. The likes of Leeds, Sheff Weds, City etc. Can't remember which year maybe 96-97 but we went to Elland Road and abseloutely battered them. Met quite a few players through the years aswell.

I think my first ever game at Wembley will be up there, even though it was only at U16s Game, but even then Jermaine Pennant stood out. Best Stadium ever. England V Argentina, and England V Brazil, I must have been about 6, but it was great.
Been to hundreds of Brighton games down the line, none stand out more than the Play Off Final at Cardiff. The whole day out, weather, Stadium, and Game was brilliant. I'll never forget that day, sitting a row behind Fatboy Slim. A week before, I broke my collarbone, and everyone, Brighton fan or not, were going, purely to see the Millenium Stadium. My old man came home with a ticket literally two days before, and I made the trip there, with a sling on. I also went to the Semis away at Swindon that year, we won 1-0, another wicked day out.
Brighton have also taken me to White Hart Lane, and Upton Park twice, which lead us to a memorable 1-0 win against the Hammers. Wasn't quite as good last time around in the FA Cup though. The smaller days up to the likes of Northampton, Brentford, Watford, Reading, QPR, Forest etc have all been just as good days out.
Chelsea haven't really given me that many good games yet, although this years Carling Cup against Liverpool will be up there. Good atmosphere that was. My mates sorting me out a ticket for the United Game this year so that should be a huge game.
Even trips to the Emirates were fun, hope to do the Emirates Cup again in Pre Season, great cheap way to see some top flight European Football. Never thought I'd get to see Figo, I'll always remember seeing him just metres infront of me on the line warming up.
I've been looking into going to 2 European Derbys a year from now on too. There's a few sites which offer Travel Packages and tickets for quite good prices, so me and a few mates will probably look into it a bit more. Benfica V Sporting, the Milan Derby, Roma Lazio and Boca Juniors V River Plate are all standout ones. I'd like to do the Amsterdam Tourny too at some point in the future.

Went all the way to Colchester on a friday night once we grabbed a 1-0 win in the last minute that was pretty sweet.

Tottenham 7 - 2 Southampton, back in 1999 I think. Iversen got a hat-trick that day, he's been one of my hero's ever since. :') I used to keep all my tickets to old matches in an envelope. Had loads of them. Don't know where it went to though unfortunately.

That's one thing I regret not keeping tickets. I found a few a really old ones the other day but I chucked most away. I threw loads of old programs away aswell and one had Paddy Crerand's autograph on.

Hmm, interms of big game status Liverpool/Chelsea a few years back we lost though lol... I went to Liverpool/Cardiff in the cup this year which was a good game, happy Liverpool deserved it in the end :/ Been to loads of epic Tranmere Rovers games xD seriously last season it felt like Tranmere came from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 it felt like hundreds of times  |

I went last august to see Sunderland vs Juventus in a pre-season friendly at the Stadium of Light, it wasn't a great game but to see some of my heroes such Del Piero & Buffon made the day even sweeter. The game finished 1-1 btw, but I suppose every Sunderland game i've been to is great cause I've still have yet seem them lose.
I also went to see Crawley vs Halifax in 2005, ended in a 2-2 draw it was a fantastic end to end game with two longs range goals.
