That 3-0 Loss to Burton on 01/Jan/2018 at Hillsborough was a truly miserable day, what a way to start the New Year So I got the wrong year...........that's just part of trying to forget it I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We set off mega early cos of the snow and I’d had about 2 hours kip and was hungover as fizz cos of Xmas do night before. Had an argument with Lee Strafford on here about something that I can’t even remember. Got back to the car after 5-1 and we had a flat tire and no spare. Everywhere shut so had to stay the night. Decided to go and see the Fawlty Towers hotel in Torquey to cheer us up, got really excited as we were gonna go and have a drink in the bar etc, looked it up in the internet, got there and it wasn’t actually the hotel but the hotel that they’d based it on. Had heartburn all day and night really bad so beers wouldn’t go down so couldn’t even get pi$$ed up. Shared a room with mate who was worlds loudest snorer and actually sleep walked over to the wardrobe and started shaking it and ragging it about in his sleep at 3am so didn’t sleep a wink all night. Eventually found a garage but it took hours to get sorted, drove back home in the snow and realised I’d left my ipod under he pillow in the hotel. Got home 8pm Sunday night. WTID One of the best posts on here i've ever seen. Made me laugh out loud. Brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Four nil loss at Colchester. I think it was Sturrock's last game. I'd gone to work with no intention of going to the game but I was talked into it. I was in a rather lovely three piece Italian suit and my City toff side parting. We stood at the edge of the away end and I got shot loads of abuse from the home burbs. We were awful. Just bloody awful. Then Daz, of this parish, convinved us he knew the way back to the station which he patently flipping didn't and after hours of walking around the Colchester ring road we were soaked and only just made the last train back to London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case its Burton at home new years day 2017 (?) 0:3 with the most appalling performance I can recall for years. Remember I lost my sh*t at that one. I'm usually quite reserved so everyone around just stood staring at me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool five, Palace nil!" He'd eaten a hot dog and had ketchup and mustard smeared across his cheeks. At half time he went down to the concourse and made some sort of passing quip to a couple of stewards and they just looked bemused and said "you've got sh*t all over your face mate" but he ignored them. Fortunately he didn't come back to his seat for the second half so I was spared any further entertainment. I mentioned it on here several years later and everybody told me it must've been Fishcake - I'd never heard of him until then. I googled it for a laugh and surprisingly found a photo of him. Used to see him in Ecclesfield all the time, wonder what happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarNigel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Bristol City under Jos might well be up there for me. The atmosphere in the away end that day was vitriolic and one of the most volatile i've been a part of. One of the most embarrassing performances i've seen us put in as well, really was like watching men vs. boys. Thank God they kept the bars on the concourse open until 75th/80th minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit extreme Katie Stevenage Borough was my last away game. I left after they made it 4-0 with a couple of others. Jokingly said to them to put money on us getting promoted To this day, those words haunt me. Thank you Dave Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertowl Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 FA Cup Final 1966. 2-0 up so I and my friends genuinely thought we had in the bag. "It's not the despair that gets to you ,it's the hope". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Also remember a LDV final at Blackpool. February in Blackpool, midweek. Bit like Tehran after one of them bombing spells in the 80’s. Got minibus early doors and landed at the Castle Pub around 12ish. What. A. Hole. We lost 3-0??? Not sure if that was the game someone fell through the temporary stand. Or the one where they chased the linesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 At Field Mill in '76 I think. The season we nearly went down to div 4. Easter Friday maybe, when we played three Easter games. Long queues to get in, games was ten minutes in when we finally got in and we were 2-0 down already. Lost 3-0. Thought we were going down after that, just miserable. (Mind you it made the following day's 1-0 Hillsborough victory over Halifax Town seem like we'd won the frickin cup!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I’m going to pick two and avoid the obvious cup finals. The Orient 4-0 Wednesday game in League 1 because it was the first league away game I took my missus too. I’d been bigging up watching Wednesday away for ages and I can’t imagine what she must have thought afterwards. Dreadful game, poisonous atmosphere, embarrassing loss against a diddy team. A shameful day. Wednesday 0-3 Forest last game of the season 1989-90 because it was my first proper heartbreak moment. I’ll never forget my old man saying to me “you’ll have a lifetime of days like this son”. He was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
