ForzaWednesday Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 What are the away grounds you've visited that turned out to be the unluckiest - the ones where Wednesday seemed cursed? For me it would have to be Highbury, where I went three times in the late eighties and early nineties to see them lose 3-1. 5-0 and 7-1. When we did get a result (a 3-3 draw) it wasn't enough to save us and we were relegated by Arsenal. In second place, Pride Park, where we've never won since the place was built in 1997 Honourable mentions for Goodison Park in the eighties and Colchester's old Layer Road stadium, where we habitually lost, the outstanding memory being the 4-0 thumping on a Tuesday night that got Paul Sturrock sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off top of my head it was last game of season about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Only been to one away match (apart from when we beat our local neighbours Sheffield United at wembley in 1993) and that was a league cup match Grimsby we lost 2-0 and worst of all we sat with the Grimsby fans, my Dads friend at the time also supported Wednesday and lived in Grimsby.

daveyboy66 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think Preston is our clubs most cursed ground...Dooleys broken leg, Prendergast ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmut_rooster Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Blackpool, only when there for the 'sun' and beer, with superstar striker Kim Olsen Lethal useless from 6 yards, got smashed 4-1, and a bloke almost got arrested for nicking a female coppers hate when we scored I know we have won there, but that was my worstestest away game.

punkskaphil Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The only grounds I've been to more than once and seen us lose every time are the Madejski (2-1 when Sibon scored, and the 6-0 horror show) and The Dell (1-0 in the Prem and 3-1 in the FA Cup). Other than that, Highbury (7-1 and 1-0 in the league and 2-1 in the League Cup) is probably the worst for me, but I did see us get a 0-0 boredraw there.

flo Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 MK Dons and Bolton are really really cold and really really boring each time I've gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The MK Dons ground is one of those where the lower tier is below ground level - ie dug a hole to build it. The cold just sits in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us winning at MK Dons 4-1 with a Neil Mellor Hat Trick of headers (I think), a cracking game but every other time I have been there its been like watching a friendly. Bolton is a very soulless ground, middle of nowhere and not even in Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the year I decided not to go we won with Afobe scoring. Haven't been able to go back since coz I know it will just be painful Edited January 11, 2017 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
