A treble of City's most infamous defeats you were at

Derby 1977 (Joe stepping out the penalty spot, and he was right!). Four bloody nil, when we were going for the title.

Spurs 2010. Basically a CL qualification play off. Crouch with the winner at the South Stand end of the stadium.

Wigan 2013 Cup Final. Jesus H Christ. What a fucking day. Toxic atmosphere in the City end, with all the Mancini rumours flying around. Coked up blues fighting with each other. And getting saturated after the game on the walk back up Wembley Way. And that's without mentioning the actual game.
 
This thread will give me cold sweats all day.
I was at the first three suggested; Halifax, Luton and Mansfield, and immediately thought of Bury (0-2) in the League Cup in 72-73 which I've always thought worse than Halifax as we were a better team when we travelled to Gigg Lane.
Then I remembered I was at Barnet (0-1) which was bloody awful even though we went through on aggregate, Lincoln a 1-4 defeat having gone ahead in the first minute, rags 0-5, Wigan at Wembley, Derby 0-4 in 76-77, Forest away (1-4) in the FA Cup (73-74?) and 0-3 at home in the same competition in 2008-09; they were in the second tier for both ties.
Wolves ruined my first trip to Wembley in 1974, and then there's Groclin; a 0-0 draw (but lost on away goals) in a farmer's field that made Halifax look like Wembley.
And 2-3 against the rags after being two up when we could have won the title that day. - And any other defeat against our nauseating neighbours.

Edit: Forgot to mention a game at Bootham Crescent towards the end of 1998.
