ooRya Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 OK, we've had peoples most memorable games for all the right reasons.....and some very good memories in there which I have enjoyed. (even if it has made me feel old!)But what about the WORST memories?A few spring to mind (too many if I'm honest!) such as losing to Brighton in the play off final a couple of years ago. But the worst memory of all for me was the season that both ourselves and R*vers got promoted to Div1, but they beat us to the title by stuffing us 3-0 at Trumpton. I have the lasting memory of walking back to the car and hearing Goodnight Irene coming from the ground every step of the way. I have NEVER felt so low!PHILGAS - please don't feel you need to comment on this!PS....please excuse spelling mistake in the title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Last time we were at this level. Wet Tuesday night toward the end of the season at home versus Bury. We'd had made up a few points over easter and looked like we just might make it out of the drop zone before May. Then Bury scored early, we played rubbish, it poured with rain and even though Soren Anderson grabbed a late equaliszer we looked doomed to relegation. Awful times.

One Team In Keynsham Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 For total deflation in a one-off, the play-off final is up there. As for others, the 0-4 at Twerton left me pretty flat on the drive back up the M5/M6, and though it didn't piss me off as much, the start of the Benny brave new world away at Bradford was memorable for our total cr@pness.

Robbored Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 City 1 Wolves 5 ( or was it 6?)Worst result by far in all the years I've been following City. I have never felt so humiliated and ashamed to be a City supporter after that shambles. It was awfull. Thank god the forum wasn't around or I'd have been banned for life!. I was so angry at the time.The highlight of the day was scrap between the mascots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 City 1 Wolves 5 ( or was it 6?)Worst result by far in all the years I've been following City.

I was so angry at the time.The highlight of the day was scrap between the mascots.That's it for me too (it was definately 1-6 BTW). I just remember being sat there numb with shock as Wolves just ran through the midfield & defensive line time and time again. For the full masochistic experience, I stayed right to the end as well (most people were sensible and left after the 3rd or 4th goal). I may be wrong, but I'm sure we even took the lead, and were either winning or level at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that has to be one of the worst signings weve ever made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 There are so many, even in the relatively short time I've been following City! (10 years or so)In no particular order, the ones that spring to mind...1) The Play-off final2) The 7-1 loss at Swansea. It was just one of those days where everything that could possibly go wrong did wrong.3) The 3-0 loss at Wycombe, when we had Coles and Doherty sent off. We were absolutely abysmal. Most will remember the game for 'Broomhead'!4) The 3-0 loss at Chesterfield on a Wednesday night at the start of Johnson's time in charge. I've always absolutely hated Chesterfield and Saltergate with a passion, so that game was a complete nightmare.5) The 5-1 defeat at Blackpool when we absolutely crumbled under the pressure and expectation. Typical of the teams we had under Wilson; complete bottlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Playoff final was awful really- any playoff defeat really like Brentford or Cardiff.I remember losing 2-1 at home to Birmingham when Peter Ndlouv got a dodgy penalty and I was quite young- that result basically confirmed we were going down.

Drew Peacock Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Play off final was bad, but worst game for me was losing 1.0 away to Spurs. Pocket picked by some scabby cockney going to the ground, Dave Rodgers own goal and a puncture on the motorway going home and couldn't undo the wheel nuts.

I've always absolutely hated Chesterfield and Saltergate with a passion, so that game was a complete nightmare.That one was bad. A team full of crap loan signings, totally devoid of heart or confidence. Like you, I hate that toilet of a ground, never seen us win there, and after that night I was convinced we were doomed.

1stCityExile Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I agree with everyone else about the play off final. Clearly that was the biggest collective City downer probably ever, because of our expectations etc. A few bad ones in the Tinman era. Anyone remember Luton away under Tinnion? 0-5 wasn't it? I left early to go home at 4-0 and could here the cheers echoing down that strange terraced street outside Kennilworth road as they scored their 5th. That was a totally inept performance, although perhaps topped for incompetence by the subsequent Swansea game (which I didn't attend).Can't remember any bad games from the 70s and 80s which is odd really as we got relegated 3 times on the trot. Rose tinted glasses on my older memories I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
