12th Deal 0:2 winning the Kent league watching my first stones game. 11th Dover 1:3 win and one hell of a sing song. 10th Tonbridge 3:2 Fa cup win and a Butlers hattrick I love beating that lot. 9th Walton C 1:2 winning the rymans south by the sunny Thames. 8th Beckenham 2:3 win over the league leaders with two Stones goals in added time. 7th Margate 3:4 three stones goals in the last twenty minutes. 6th Halesowen 1:4 great cup win with one amazing goal. 5th Truro 1:3 a top weekender with the oldies and newbie together. 4th Folkstone 0:1 winning and staying up in a winner takes all game. Folkstone went down. 3rd Dulwich 0:0 we won the league at champions hill awesome day. 2nd Stevenage 0:0 fa cup goal less draw with 1200 traveling stones fans in party a mood. 1st Ebbesfleet 2;2 aet total drama of that last kick Dd goal then the shoot out win simply unforgetable.

I wouldn't argue with those choices, I'll leave that to NWS. Not included (because you are no doubt too young) is the 1969 FA Cup match v Tonbridge, which has always topped my list, as we came back from 3 - 1 and 4 - 2 down to win 5 - 4. Although I now wonder if the Ebbsfleet match shouldn't take precedence for its heart-stopping drama.

Can't argue with those choices but I would have included the Tooting game where we came back from 3-1 down with 10 men to win the game 4-3 and two of those coming in stoppage time.

Hornchurch, last game of season 2011 with nothing to lose. It stuck us back in ryman south and rebuild a better atmosphere within the club in general. Look where we are since those halcian days of swamplands.

Look where we are since those halcian days of swamplands. Certainly was memorable for not having to go back to Ashford again. Playing at Bourne Park the following season almost felt like coming home in comparison.

Would include the 3-2 defeat in the FA Cup at Bishops Stortford somewhere in that lot

No surprise that Scott Sports from 20 years ago (24/2/96) isn't there - lost 8-2
But what about Mildenhall Tn in the FA Vase R2 (10/11/01, lost 3-0)? Our first trip outside of the traditional county in nearly 10 years (other than Rye Town). Nearly 300 Stones' fans making the trip & one of the supporters' coaches getting stuck in the field, needing to be pulled out by tractor.

My first away day was the Kent derby at Priestfield in 1990 - Osborne scored a stunner and we won 2-0, wasn't a bad way to start

Sevenoaks worth a top 20 place at least. There was a 1 1 evening game at Dulwich that was a bit good about 3 years ago. Calais friendly. Newport IoW!!! Didn't we bankrupt an online bookie?

I wasn't around in the Wilderness Years, and I have only been to one away since we came back home, so can't comment on that list.
But the Watford game was pretty good - I remember everyone taking photos of the scoreboard for those glorious few minutes we were ahead (also remember just how bloody COLD it was!). Another top one was our last Conference game at Runcorn, watching the presentation of the pyramid trophy (and watching Gall and Butler avoiding passing to each other for the whole game!). The best of all though was undoubtedly the KSC final at Priestfields (against Fisher?) when we found out we'd won and were promoted (we won the KSC as well!)
I enjoyed the Reading game too - although not entirely for football reasons... And our first away at Carlisle was memorable for me at least, as I was the only away fan until just before kick off!
Worst aways have got to be Sheffield Utd and Cambridge, but another one that still haunts me was an FAC (or Trophy?) defeat at Bishop's Stortford - not for any particular reason, just a long, uncomfortable journey in a minibus, followed by a crap performance from the Stones, chucking away a game we should have won.

Not gonna list 12 but my top away game will be always be the Ebbsfleet final. Second would be Truro in the league and 3rd I think is Dulwich cos we won the league. Also top away games for me was our 1st game of last season at Sutton for Healys superb goal and our 1-0 win at Fleet in the league was pretty special.
