Worst away game
- Thread starter Caveman
- Start date
Away to Portsmouth in March '84. We were 1-0 up at half time due to a Danny Wilson penalty.However.......Someone forgot to tell the Team to turn up for the second half. A young Mark Hatley scored a hatrick and we lost 5-1 (could have been more !!!).

The 5-0 at Selhurst was a total wrist slashing experience, the anticipation, the gutless display and spending 90 minutes staring at a riot shield after the game. The 3-0 at Southend a few years back was soul destroying as well

Cheltenham, div 3, 2000/01. 0-3. As I texted my mate at half-time, 'just like the bad old days'.

I was going to mention that one. It pissed down and they kept us in and the PA announcer went through all the Pompey scorers for our "benefit".
Still think October 26th was the worst though. So much expectation, such a disaster...Not helped by the morons in The Falcon or the police who wouldn't let us leave a) the pub or b) the match with an hour gone.

No question, Selhurst last year.
And not just for the football or the result.
Such as being treated like scum, as if we were from Croydon or somewhere equally bad, by the
Met.
And, having flown in especially, to then have a delayed return flight that evening, so had to sit being miserable in Gatwick for 4 hours. Grrrrr.

Last year at Selhurst, deffo. I've never been reduced to total, numbed silence during a game as at that one.
Other than that, probably Scunthorpe away, losing 2-1 during the Great Escape season despite playing reasonably well. I was convinced that day that we were going to drop out of the league. Can't remember feeling lower during a trip home. Stayed up though, and apparently did reasonably well for a few seasons after that.

Palace away 2002 - after 3pm the day was a disaster
Canvey Island away in the Cup was just utterly embarassing, even though we drew.

Most definatley Palace last year, the lowest point in my football life.
Last seasons Stoke game was pretty dire too, a must win game and we really were not at the races.

Palace last year was the most depressing 90 mins of footy Ive ever encountered.

Yes I tried to leave the falcon, and then I was pointed out as a suspected hooligan. A prat of a policeman whispered in my ear that I was going to the cells, they searched me found nothing and let me leave the pub...pure stupidity...what a shit day.

3-0 defeat at Twerton park in the mid nineties. Car broke down, got stuck in traffic, arrived 5 mins into the game just as they scored. utter shite. Torquay away 3-0 was also awful, went with a Torquay supporting mate who made sure I wore the stipes in the pub afterwards starting off an hour long barrage of chants from sheepshagging westcountryers

Absolutely agree. I was late for that Spurs game too. At first I thought they weren't going to let us in, but eventually we were allowed through an office entrance and got led out onto the pitch. The match had already kicked off (as had the violence) and we had to walk round the track on the edge of the pitch to get to the Brighton end (which was full of Spurs fans). Pelted and spat at all the way. Then we were just sort of pushed over the wall and left to fend for ourselves. One of the few times I've actually hit anybody but it was in self-defence, my fault for wearing a scarf (which I would NOT give up). Paul Clark nearly won it for us.

I remember that game vividly too. The chant of "We're the barmy Tottenham army" from about two foot behind me just as the game was about to kick off was a real pant filler.
Went in the shelf with two mates the following season and felt much safer!!
