Worst Away Day you've done

Possibly Lincoln away the game just before Ross got sacked. Abject performance that made it look like we had very little chance already of going up, and went into a pub near the ground where we got patronised by Lincoln fans who said we weren't that bad.
 
Too many too many no shows and spineless performances to pick just one game, though a few of our particular gutless performances, immediately spring to mind.

FA Cup semi final vs Millwall at Old Trafford.
(if we'd won that game, we'd be guaranteed European football, the following season)
We were shockingly poor, and it was no surprise when a poor (but better than us) Millwall, beat us again, for the 3rd time, that season.


Notts County away.
A cowardly showing, and we stayed up only because of results elsewhere.
The worse match I can remember, for Sunland fans attacking one another, with fights breaking out all across the away end, as the players surrendered without a fight, on the pitch.


Coventry away, in the League Cup.
Steve Livingstone I presume, filled his boots that night, while our players filled their hogga's out on the pitch.
Again, mass fights amongst our own, broke out in the away section.
I agree with all 3.

MIillwall semi final, basically one game to get into Europe. Somebody couldn't find our bus afterwards, so we missed the traffic free escort back to the motorway. Stuck in traffic for ages, then heard the missing lad had got a lift and was half way home.

Notts County for a must win was pathetic. Atmosphere was toxic and people getting stuck in and basically the attitude was if the players aren't bothered why should we.
 
Not an away game, but West Brom at home in 2002, 3rd round of the FA Cup.. running a bit late pushing it for a ‘3pm kick off’ driving up from Nottingham. Flicked the radio on.. and we were 1-2 down..as it was a 12:30 kick off. Ended up turning round at the roundabout by the Colliery Tavern and driving back to Nottingham 😅
Ha. Fantastic that mate. That's like one of those dreams (sure we've all had them) in which you're hurrying to rhe ground, but keep being unavoidably delayed. Usually making it just in time for kick off... only to find the stadium has been moved.
 
The 2-0 against them under Keane. Evans and Bardsley both injured, mcshane let Owen get a free run and header 4 mins in.
In Vegas at the time so got up at 2am, got a taxi to British pup miles away walked in and the barman said “ your lot aren’t playing until tomorrow” accepted this after a while, got taxi back,went to bed. Next day got up 2am, taxi to same pub, walked in and the same barman said “ you were right it was yesterday, you got beat 2-0.”
To top it all off there was a table of Mags laughing in the corner.
 
Tranmere away on a Tuesday night in League One.

Had the day off work, car packed up that morning so had to get the coach. 2-0 defeat (our first defeat in 23 games), ripped apart by Bas Savage.

Then the coach had a problem so was stuck on the Wirral til approaching midnight.
 
I went to Everton when we got beat 7-1 but didn’t get in cos I was too pissed
You lucky git , we got in and it was horrendous added to the fact they wouldn’t serve us alcohol inside, a steward reckoned there was 3 sets of away fans that alcohol was banned, us , the mags and Liverpool. Terrible afternoon.
 
Palace away 1993 on the coach early kick off Sunday lunch time. Took forever, got soaked, got beat, were in relegation zone & didn't have time for a pint.
 
0-6 v derby in league cup worst result, but was a fun night all the same.
Ditto for me.

Left when it was 5-0 and stopped in Belper for a few drinks (I was drinking shandy as I was driving) and a take away. Got pulled by the polis on the M1 and taken back to Alfreton police station. Copper who stopped us didn't know why but had been alerted to my reg number as something had happened in Belper. Back at the station I passed the breathalyser and was questioned as to why we though we'd been pulled. None of us had a clue so we had to wait for a copper from Belper to come to the station. Said copper eventually arrives and the reason we were stopped was because one of the lads had had a piss in someones garden and had been reported. Coppers kicked us all out at about 5 in the morning with no charges against any of us. Got back home about 7 in the morning.

Never forgave you for pissing on my lawn ;)
