I’m bored and isolated! What is genuinely the worst you’ve felt come the final whistle regardless of league or position. I’ll kick off by saying the 6-1 defeat to the trees (bobbins first game?) I was hammered and we took an early lead through Vaughan and then got absolutely torn apart. I was at mould Trafford (which was bad!) and have been a follower since 1991. I remember (although hammered) being in the Trent bridge pub saying “I can’t wait till we batter you lot and get promoted from this league!) we never battered them but we did get promoted. As you can probably tell I’m bored lol. I’m sure many many more town fans (including my dad) can say they’ve seen a hell of a lot worse!

For me there are two: As a 14 year old, losing to Blackpool at home in the 1990/91 FA Cup 2nd round when we had the prospect of Gazza and Lineker etc at home in the 3rd round to look forward to was devastating. Birmingham at home in 2001 needs no real explanation. |

It has to be Old Trafford for me. 3 in 1 after the optimism, wankers beating up own fans on national TV, we lose out on promotion to Peterborough & then masses of I Believe T shirts contemptuously thrown on the pitch. It still sickens me now.

[b Weirdly enough I ordered a baby grow for my six month old as they’ve come down in price and my postie who delivered it happens to be a Peterborough fan and told me all about that day! I said yeah I know mate I was there and I remember when you went down and we stayed up and when we went up to the greedy league and that you’re still in league one. Fell on deaf ears. |

Yes, Birmingham defeat and Old Trafford v Peterborough was horrendous.
But my worst feeling ever was the moment I heard that David Wagner was leaving.

It still sickens me now. Probably mine too. Such a shit thing in so many ways. The other that springs to mind was walking away from Cheltenham after we;d blown automatic promotion in 2004. 1-0 up and then Pav just gifts them a goal with some genuine brain fart play. It was set up to be such a great day and ended up being a painfully crap long drive back. |

Peterborough second leg 91 by a long way. Also Hull /Burnley consecutive defeats in 4 days in 81 when we fucked up promotion

Think you mean the 3-0 defeat that ended hopes of the playoffs? That side really should've made the playoffs at least that season. |

We got relegated at Fulham? I was at the 'missed out on the play offs at the final game of the season after selling Marcus Stewart' game. It was a low moment and there was some mindless violence as well, but I think that was understandable considering our collapse that season. |

Barnsley play off defeat. Having won at oakwell which we never do, to go and throw it all away to Nardiello and Co. Sickening. My town shirt went in the bin that night.
Maybe an odd one to add but Cardiff at home last year when I saw that Wagner had set us up 5 at the back and then proceeded to tell us we aimed to tire them for 80 mins then go for it. Knew then and there we’d be relegated.

Birmingham at home in 2001. We were a 12/1 shot to get relegated and for that to happen we had to lose and two other sides had, IIRC, to win away. I was so traumatised I just sat, stuck to my seat!

Jesus do we have to drag this type of thing up in the current environment??
Thankfully I wasn’t at old Trafford. Was sat in a bar in torrevieja with the family. Kids both had their shirts on. Dreadful stuff.
I was so glad when we relegated Peterborough as the real worst was Black Thursday ( as named by my late mum). God I was gutted but mum was crushed

Definitely the Birmingham game, closely followed by hearing on the radio that Stewie was leaving.

Having been at the Birmingham, Peterborough, Cheltenham and Old Trafford games I echo all of these but strangely even though I think it was probably coming I remember feeling deeply saddened when Mick Buxton got the push. I seem to recall it was just before Christmas although age might have dulled my memory.
Oddly though the 10-1 pasting at Maine Road whilst pitiful didn't hurt as much as some of the others, perhaps I was just relieved that the Moss Side oiks hadn't trashed my car.

Can’t recall ever being that bothered over recent years. Maybe when I was a kid. I definitely remember it being unfair that we lost at Birmingham in the 1/4 finals after losing the keeper, but other than that, as soon as I leave the ground I get on with my life.
However, I see about 8 away fames a season, usually down south, to make a weekend in which footy is only a part. If we have lost, particularly a night match, I feel for those who have many hours on a bus home.

Yeah, a bit of understandable mindless violence never did anyone any harm... 🙄 |

Without doubt 1951/52 season when we had our first ever relegation, leaving only Sunderland & Arsenal as the only 2 sides that had never been relegated losing 7-1 at home to Wolves set the seasons scene

I literally couldn't speak for hours. I think it was 92 not 91, as I've always felt that it coincided with Leeds' title win, and that made it worse. It shouldn't of course but I worked in Leeds at the time and it felt like only two minutes since we were both in the 2nd division and nowt between us. Also I think it was our first playoff appearance and I didn't really grasp that those opportunities cropped up reasonably regularly. It felt like the end of the world. |

Also Hull /Burnley consecutive defeats in 4 days in 81 when we fucked up promotion There's been so many awful days, Ref Peter Willis dishing out penalties for Tranmere to scupper promotion out of Div.4 at the first attempt was one of my first but totally agree the second leg of the Peterborough semi final is always the worst, when they got back to 2-2 late on in the away tie I remember thinking I'm not bothered an away draw is still good and then taking an early lead at home seemed to confirm it - ahead 3 times and still no Wembley Final ! The Hull / Burnley combo was bad, didn't relegated Hull's winner go in off the refs backside but although it stopped a second consecutive promotion which seemed assured after the away win at The Valley I think all the play off defeats trump them. A fair few Cup heartaches along the way but probably Blackpool at home with Iffys missing contact lens and missing out on Spurs is the worst. |

The Birmingham and Peterborough (91 - strangely enough the Old Trafford one didn't hit me hard, I sort of expected it) are bad memories but one that hit hard was John Gidman scoring for Man City with the last kick in the FA Cup 3rd round.
It was a few weeks after the 10-1 game and we deserved to win. Unfortunately Michael Peck of Kendal was referee and added time on way beyond what he should and City got an equaliser.
I thought it was a disgrace he was the ref for our last game at Leeds Rd. I've never forgotten that game or him.

Iffys contact lens was Bloomfield Road, New Years Day...It also pissed it down all afternoon and we were on that derelict Kip. |
