Worst ever away game following the 'tics

[boboafc]

6-1 away at luton when we went in at half time winning to a ian wood goal

[SavageTheBeast]

Barnsley under Ronnie Moore was pretty bad, 4-0 down after 10 minutes and one of our players flashing the V's at some of our fans.

 

But Norwich away under Penney sticks out in my mind, it took nearly 6 hours to get there, then we barely registered a shot on goal

Remember the Barnsley game we where shouting for Butcher to be sent off he was that bad

[Midsblue]

Wycombe away...need to check back on date but it was the one when Gary Kelly went berserk at us fans, threatening to climb into the stand etc

 

The majority of the away end booed the team off at h/t and chanted "you're not fit to wear the shirt".

 

Lowest dip in our post '92 history I could recall...was it the same season when Cardiff gave us a tonking on first game of season? Stitch in charge?!

[Midsblue]

QPR away in the playoffs was painful, bitter experience.

The worst end to a superb season that -

 

Drove over 800 miles to pick up tickets for the 2nd leg due to work

Rushed like a mad man to get to Loftus Road via Reading to pick up the now wife on that weekday night again due to work commitments in the day

Greeted the team bus

Chatted to Chris Moore in pub beforehand who gave that "whatever happens I'm here for the long rum, it's in my blood, well proud of the fans etc etc"

Wijnhard was rousing the away end

 

....and then we lost

 

QPR fans on tube back saying don't worry as we'd blow league away next season and go up automatically

 

....and Chris Moore then pulled the plug!

[another fan]

Walking back to Chadderton after the FA Cup defeat at Accrington Stanley ( I have been known to walk to or from several local football grounds both League and non League}

 

God that was depressing

[MAC0AFC]

Remember the Barnsley game we where shouting for Butcher to be sent off he was that bad

he made a bad tackle and we all started shouting 'off off off' haha the joys of being a latics fan

[Lee Sinnott]

you might be right with 5-0.. can remember the atmosphere was quite a comical one though, when they scored their 5th we all started chanting 'easy, easy' haha

Dunno how the atmosphere was comical after their 5th goal when we only lost 4-0.

 

Worst for me was Sheff Wed last year...

[stargazer]

2-0 League Cup defeat at Old Trafford.

 

Game over after about 2 minutes as the fantastic new full back Big Joe bought (no wonder it went pear shaped with these top division purchases) went to sleep in the as McClair scored ......game over.

He was taken off straight after a shot from distance went for a throw in.

 

What really bothered me was in going yo see this rubbish , I missed seeing Nirvana at the Academy .....boo hoo

[keep_the_faith]

5 nil at Milton Keynes. The worst away day in the Football League as it is, plus that day it was pissing it down. It was cold. It was pretty :censored:ing awful.

[south east latic]

Toss up between the 5-0 or the 6-2 at MK Dons. 1-0 away at Stevenage on a freezing Tuesday night was shocking too. A last minute goal to boot.. Where have we heard that one before?!

[SavageTheBeast]

Bournemouth under Dickov 3-0 all that way played rubbish and no player acknowledged the away fans

[Break The Silence]

Dunno how the atmosphere was comical after their 5th goal when we only lost 4-0.

 

Smart arse .

[rudemedic]

Oh I forgot Luton 3-0 a few seasons ago, when they were going down by Easter, we couldn't fill our subs bench and that loanee GK from Wednesday, O'Donnell I think, was in goal. There were family reasons why I didn't want to lose that one too.

3-0 down and down to ten men inside the first 35 minutes, was a real toss day.

Blackpool play off defeat in 2007. Was rendered even more painful watching a team that had blown away all and sundry up until New Year run so spectacularly out of gas. We limped into the play offs in no great shape and were just a spent force. Was so convinced it was our year after we ground out that home win over the Trannies, too.

 

Also, it meant I had to go to Blackpool twice in one season, which really, really f**ked me off.

[LeylandLatic]

Mine's 0-4 away at Wrexham on a Tuesday night about 10 years ago. I can't describe how beyond :censored: we were that night, only time I've ever left a game early. I just heard the 4th goal going in as I got to the car in the pissing rain.

Was that the LDV Northern Final?

[JoeP]

3-0 at the Withdean against Brighton under Ritchie was pretty bad.

 

Got wet through and was about £30 to get in.

[LeylandLatic]

Was that the LDV Northern Final?

 

pretty sure it was a league game, bloody awful!

[Bunty Blue]

Bury away last season. Locked out. Nuff said.

[Lukers1]

Hereford for me it was dire....as memory serves It was 4 nill after 20 minutes, the streaker wearing walking boots running the length of the pitch was great

 

Hang on I've remembered a 00 against Luton in the premier league that was worse cos I had to travel further on theh bleeding coach

 

I heard that some of the team were playing with hangovers from being in the hotel bar the night before.

I used to get hammered every Saturday and the more I drank the better I played Sunday,especially if still a little drunk...

[leeslover]

It's easy to forget that the time we got drowned at Brentford was also our worst performance ever. We cheered once when we get three passes together.

[Stevie_J]

Missed the word 'away' in the thread title by which time I'd typed the following:

 

The 1996/97 3-0 home defeat to Grimbsy (who were absolutely :censored: themselves) under Graeme Sharp. So soon after the Joe Royle adventure in the top flight, it was difficult to see where the downward spiral was going to end. They were two up after twenty minutes. People were throwing shirts and season tickets on the pitch and walking out in the first half.

 

Can't remember an away game as depressing as that. Dreary 0-0s at freezing cold York and Hartlepool weren't great though.

Looking bad it's worse than it was at the time. We knew we'd faded badly and barely crawled over the finish line to make the playoffs and we big underdogs against the in form Blackpool. We lost but at the end we were out singing the Blackpool fans.

 

 

 

We were optimistic, we had reason to be, we had a solid team which just needed more depth, there was plenty of promise for the following season, little did we know at the time that we'd lose Porter, Wellens, Warne and pretty much Pogs.
