Only City game I can think of was Scunthorpe title clincher in 93.
I was only 10 years young, but I did go to the Wrexham game.
I was in that queue (for Eurostar) but for some reason (and very unlike me) I was quite calm. I then read a Tweet, from Cerys Matthews I think, that said if you have a match ticket get in the queue and they’ll let you in the next train (rather than the one that I was booked on, which had been delayed like all the others) so I did and they let me on.
We got to France about an hour and 20 mins before KO and absolutely caned it (and I mean caned it) making it to our seats 9 mins before KO having sprinted all the way from the car park to the ground.
Just mental and just as well that we won.
Didn't go to France in 2016 so regret missing that.
As for Cardiff there's plenty of away games I wish I'd been at such as Scunthorpe and the Leicester playoff.
As a footnote to this, to make the whole journey and experience even more surreal, the car behind us on the train was also full of Wales fans hoping to make it to the game in time.
I recognised one of them from the rubbish Cup Final ‘Do The Ayatollah’ video who turned out to be Rod Woodward. We worked out that his Dad Karl worked with my Dad at the Eggo back in the 1970s.
Rod asked if they could follow us as they weren’t sure of the way. I said that they were welcome to try and keep up!
I sometimes wonder if they did make it in time….
