Hard to pinpoint what game but for me several games under Mikey Adams pt2. Falmer was a lifetime away, we had a horrible squad made up of crap players and shit loans. Falmer felt like a unreachable dream and the fun had gone from football. I was going out of loyalty not because I wanted to. Im sure there were worse times and games but I was a kid when I went to the Goldstone and Gillingham so everything seemed fun as I wasnt really aware of what was going on.

[Albion] Your worst Albion home game......

Was that when Peterson slipped and got lobbed? Walsall down to 9 men?
I don't remember many games at G*****$%*£M it was horrible, my biggest memory was car loaded up, driving home on the M25 and had a blow out in my mk1 Capri. I had to kick everyone out of the car to change the rear wheel on the hard shoulder, when I put my hands round to remove the wheel all the shredded steel belt wires stabbed my fingers.
got home safe, but that was icing on the football cake back then.

I've had to research some head to heads to jog my memory, it was mid-00s I know that, starting to doubt if it was even Walsall... or if it was 3-1... it was god awful I know that much! [emoji38]
If its the game im thinking of it was The first season in the championship under Hinsh when we went on that dire run.

It's definitely League 1 for sure, roughly when I started to go and watch the Albion as a teen. On the flipside, the 8-0 win against Northwich Victoria in the cup was mental [emoji38]
Palace in the playoffs.

Gallant Gillingham got their season back on course with a thrilling win at struggling Brighton - after having two men sent off.
Mark Saunders had already been dismissed in the first half when Kevin James received his marching orders seconds after sealing victory with a last-minute fourth goal.
The Gills had taken just one point from their last four games after briefly topping the Division One table.
But a quickfire double blast early on set them on their way at the Withdean Stadium.
And although Brighton made a fight of it in the second half, Gillingham hung on before grabbing the dramatic late clincher.
Two goals inside 60 seconds put Gillingham in control.
Paul Shaw opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a low left-footed drive, following an error from Danny Cullip.
And the visitors doubled their account almost straight from the restart when David Perpetuini drilled the ball home from the edge of the area.
The double strike rocked Brighton, who have lost five games in a row since their opening day victory at Burnley.
The struggling Seagulls hauled themselves back into contention with a stunning strike from Richard Carpenter after 26 minutes.
Double whammy
He unleashed a spectacular right-foot volley which flashed into the net from fully 25 yards.
It was Brighton's first League goal at home this season.
As the temperature rose, Brighton's Charlie Oatway and Gillingham's Mark Saunders were both booked for unsporting behaviour.
The visitors regained their composure to restore their two-goal advantage after 35 minutes with another stunning strike from Shaw.
His second goal of the game came courtesy of an intelligent lob from 18 yards.
But they lost their heads again just two minutes later when Saunders - who was already on a yellow card - was promptly dismissed for violent conduct.
Brighton finally scored the second goal they had been threatening with 10 minutes left when Gary Hart hit home a low right-footed drive from inside the area.
But in the final seconds Kevin James grabbed Gillingham's fourth - only to then be promptly sent off for a second bookable offence
Brighton: Petterson, Pethick, Cullip, Butters, Watson, Melton, Oatway, Carpenter, Jones, Kitson, Wilkinson. Subs: Rogers, Hart, Packham, Marney, Hammond.
Gillingham: Brown, Saunders, Ashby, Hope, Edge, Shaw, Hessenthaler, Smith, Perpetuini, James, Ipoua. Subs: Bartram, Leon Johnson, Rose, Pennock, Awuah.
Referee: M Cooper (West Midlands).

0-3 at home to fecking Barnet in 1997 with just over a 1000 fans in total....
Absolute misery, I was wondering to myself on the way home, would it have been better to be non-league I was that depressed.

I saw all our games at Priestfield, 8-2 defeat by Bannister and Warboys, etc but I don’t think I’ll ever feel as bad for so long than this one

Trying to rack my brains but the one that sticks out is a 1-1 draw against Bolton when Freedman was their manager.
We played them off the pitch and they equalised in injury time with only time they crossed the halfway line in the match. Even Dougie was apologetic afterwards.
Drubbings are awful but coming away feeling robbed in a game you should've won is worse.

Wasn't Sudbury about minus a million degrees also? Went to the away game up there too which was bad enough. Another standout was Notts County at home in the Sherpa Vans Trophy when we were stuffed 5-1 and half the North Stand took to cheering their goals.

One of those was mid-week, was it not ?
For me it was a match against Hayes in the 1992/93 FA Cup. Torrential rail for the whole match. Got utterly soaked in the chicken run.
Completely forgot that one. I think part of my unconscious mind doesn't really register games at Priestfield as home games
