Was at both Peterborough matches, fa cup when we would have played Spurs, Man City 10-1 etc etc but I think one of the worst I felt for one moment was when Okoku equalised for Wimbledon at the end of the match in the FA cup. We would have been in the quarter finals if we had won and the atmosphere was amazing up until the equaliser. We lost the replay.

Peterborough at Leeds Road was an unravelling horror show after being lured into something nice.. Selling Stewart gut wrenching, the Old Trafford play off final a complacent mess However I think the lowest I felt at any one time was trudging up Leeds Rd to get a bus after losing to Blackpool at home in the cup knowing we now wouldnt be hosting Gazza's Spurs afterall..we couldn't even bloody get that right and it was a dark few days.

Old Trafford was definitely the worst, I really felt so low, It did not help as I left the ground, as middle aged men were in tears that day, never mind the kids. Strangely the Burnley away game under Bucko when I think we lost 4-2 and our chances of promotion that year had been torpedoed, always sticks in the mind .

Town v Peterborough 1992 play off second leg at home without a doubt.Was happy enough with result down there and travelled back like most thinking we had done the hard work. the night of the match the weather was good and as I walked down to the match everyone seemed pissed as though they had been out all day, went for a couple of pints in the market tavern and the place was heaving then went on down to the ground and went through cowshed entrance and found out we weren't being let onto terrace,we got the early goal then it all went wrong I stayed in the cowshed for a while after the whistle in total disbelief absolutely gutted then just went home couldn't face going for a pint never felt like that at any other match before or after.

Peterborough 92 for me, my first heartbreak as a Town fan.
Peterborough at Old Trafford was grim, I think we all knew we’d have another chance though.
Without being melodramatic I think now is as bad a time as ever. Not because of the team, but for the realisation that we will never cut it at the top level. We can never compete with the top clubs over a prolonged period of time and all the joy of the last few years was built on sand. Our ‘saviour’ has gone and he’s taken his legacy with him. All that awaits is the inevitable slide to our ‘natural’ position.
The wind changed and the order of things was fixed. We can’t fight it, it’s just written in the stars that we are a top 10 L1 club. That lack of hope, the disinterest it ferments and the killing of the dream is worse than any individual loss.
Stay safe

For me the fact we spent two seasons in the prem means that football wise I can die happy. And also it actually means its possible to do it with a club of our size. So it could happen again. Five years ago I would have said it was virtually impossible. But if we end up top ten league one it'll feel very familiar. And we can console ourselves that we will be at least one league above Bradford

All 5 of the relegations I've seen. The worst being the day we lost down at Fulham. A glorious sunny day in the capital and one of the worst performances by any Town team I've seen over the years, given what was at stake

The worst performance has a long list of worthy contenders with Town...

Seem to remember it being a fucking good hiding, possibly 5.. I have tried to banish it from my mind but the Friday night 5 at Stockport and the tuesday 6 in the pissing rain at Swindon, plus the obvious 10 and the 7 at barnsley are with me always.. Add in some 1 goal defeats against absolute bleeding rubbish where we conspired to be worse and it's a sorry tale. But much worse were the seasons of total mediocrity where we ended up towards the bottom and the whole season was like a magnolia wall painting exercise.. Misery makes the good days better.

Anyone else mentioned the pub 'we' tried to burn down on that Port Vale day yet?

A glorious sunny day in the capital and one of the worst performances by any Town team I've seen over the years, given what was at stake I might be wrong, but wasn't that a failure to make the playoffs rather than a relegation? Either way I agree it was bad though, but Birmingham at home was far worse. The final payback for that awful decision to sell Marcus Stewart.

The 2003 relegation for me, I was just past that teenage phase where going to the football was amazing for the experience alone, yet, I was still relatively young so still harboured thoughts that Town would be successful irregardless. I think that season was the first time I realised that football could drag you in another, bleaker, direction.
There were obviously off-field factors but it was just the joyless football, lack of goals and complete despondency around the entire club. I can remember protests outside the ground, dissent in the ground and Mick Wadsworth somehow surviving the sack. Buckets going round.
On a brighter note, the following season is one of my favourites.
