aussieowl87 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 7-1? Loss at home to Forest. Mid 90s. I was in tears with my Dad on one side of me and my Grandad on the other. I would have been 7 or so. "It's your fault!" I shouted, looking at my Dad. "What's my fault?" "You made me support them, and they're bloody rubbish!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_al1985 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Aside from the ones already mentioned for some reason I always recall Brentford at home, guess it would be sometime around 2010. They had the jpt final the week after and rested a load of players. It was absolutely freezing and my abiding memory is 3 or 4 little kids running rings around us at the kop end... lost 2 or 3 -1. Terrible evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Agree with many highlighted, but notable mention also to 4-1 away at Coventry when the De Bilde consolation was booed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecap Owl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 April 20th 1974 - Away at Middlesborough - lost 8-0 Peter Springett was left helpless by the hapless Owls team mates. Prior to the game the Division 2 trophy was handed to Boro and I remember cursing Jack Charlton who was manager at the time... he made up for that game a few years later though... Long long long drive home that day.... WAWAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcat Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Away at Stevenage. My mum was dying, my relationship was ending. That was almost the final straw. Left at half-time and drank a bottle of whisky on the way home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Far too many to choose from but 0-0 draw at home to Rushden & Diamonds takes some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Been going since 2003. 0-0 vs Rushden and Diamonds was a low. Huddersfield play off semi final was emotional. Can remember getting battered at home to Peterborough under Irvine/Megson - can’t rememher who. We made Lee Tomlin look like Messi ill think of others.

badfan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 FA Cup Final Replay was the most gutted I've felt after a game. I think 2003/04 away at Chesterfield at Saltergate was also very depressing. Lost 3-0 and Alan Quinn got sent off. I think then I realised it was gonna be a long haul before we were ever decent again. Ola Tidman in goal and Beswetherick at right back - grim times. Getting relegated by Palace in the showdown at Hillsborough in 2010 was also bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Crikey, so very many to chose from but Arsenal FA cup replay when Woods dropped ball in net. Play-offs against Hull recently because for once I thought we were going to win. But very recently last season 2-4 defeat to the old enemy, gutted!!!

Highs these days don't keep me going, I just have to go can't stop after all these years. Same here the days out were what I usually remember fair amount of gallows humour back in the day.

daveyboy66 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Blackpool away under Turner Easter 2003/4...we couldn't string two passes together and one of our fans came back to the makeshift stand. We kicked the ball out of touch and the lad chested it down and side-footed it to their player stood waiting..all their players started laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Too many to count. Leyton orient away springs to mind 4/1 or 4/0 10/11 embarrassing . 5/1 drubbing at Exeter , went on my own after work and realised megson was only great in fans head. 2/2 9 man Yeovil , Irvines last game. Carlos tactical stupidity against Huddersfield im the play offs. God there’s hundreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Been to the last two away games, so I have bravely decided not to go tonight. Sill hurts when we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 For me, it's not the Cup Final Reply or the Play Offs, as much as that hurts - there are highs and lows and some pride in getting that far. The game that sticks out for me was a 0-0 draw at home to Scunthorpe in the FA Cup. Scunthorpe almost got relegated from the football league that season but the way we played we were exactly at their level. We were given the run-around by a geriatric Peter Beagrie, barely mustered a shot in 120 minutes, and then only managed to score with 1 of our 4 penalties (Steven Haslam of all people). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Wicket Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 7 hours ago, Musn't Grumble said: Wednesday at home to Man City in April 1970 on a thoroughly unpleasant midweek evening. It chucked it down all match. In front of the biggest crowd of the season (45,000+), Wednesday needed a win to stay in the old Division One and Man City virtually handed the game to Wednesday who were so inept, they still lost. City appeared to be so disinterested that Doyle "passed" his penalty to Grummitt and the rest of the City side seemed more bothered about their summer holidays thn winning a football match. Everybody that is, except for Ian Bowyer who scored both City's goals. Ex-City player Tony Coleman netted a consolation for Wednesday in between both City goals. It was my first experience of relegation and it was the start of turbulent times for Wednesday. Got to agree with this. My first taste of relegation. Wednesday really did b@ll@cks things up that night. Bowyer was sub for city that night and still a kid with something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the night we chased them out of their ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
