Mine was the same as the post for first football hero, my first visit to St James' Park and a couple of weeks later to Redhugh park to watch Gateshead.
Roker Park came I think the following season as my other Uncle the younger one was a Muckem fan.
The uncle who took me to St James' Park was called Arthur Gallagher and all his life from being a lad at school he was nicknamed Hughie and oddly enough when he moved to Carr Hill in Gateshead he lived next door to Hughie Gallacher.
He two daughters, my cousins, and their husbands are life time season ticket holders.
St James' Park
First away ground was Huddersfield when we got promoted.
The Manor ground (old Oxford Utd one).
very early sixties at st james,s was more mesmerised by the first tv cameras
mid 70s went to QPR
Brunton Park for an England v Scotland schoolboy game
We travelled over with our junior school team to play a local Carlisle school beforehand
St James' Park for me.1st away ground was Ayresome Park,that was an experience back then as a kid.
Mid sixties at St. James's Park with an uncle, blown away by the crush of fans in the stands. We played Spurs with Danny Blanchflower as their captain.
SJP in the 1950s but I had been to a few non league grounds earlier including watching Newcastle Juniors and A team at the North Road ground Wallsend which the Toon owned.
If we're counting non-league then Abingdon Town was first ground i went to.
