never really had a terrible journey home watching city, fulham away this year or last year was horrible though we were on a coach that must have been made in the 1920s and ran out of beer :(
Didsbury Dave said:Worst journey I did was after the 2-2 with Pompey, the week before we got promoted at Blackburn.
City put a train on. There was no booze. It took about 7 hours to get back. I was sat with some right bores too.
that was one tedious journey.

Notts County in 85. 13000 city in a crowd of 17000. Pitch invasions, fans getting in the dressing rooms. Total overcrowding in the City end. Need to win to go up. 3-0 down at half time and then get 2 back but lose 3-2. Football special back to Manchester wrecked on way home with tables thrown out of the window!
Blackburn Fa Cup game under Pearce. The hatred towards him and the players at the end of that match was awful. Fighting between fans and an all round shit day.

Wasn't at the game but can remember loads of jokes about it in the pub the night it happened, think it took 24 hours for the reality to sink inmayo31 said:kingmikedoyle said:For me it was returning from Blackburn(the day of hillsbrough)got battered 4-0 and had to listen to fellow blues laughing and joking about how many scousers had died...very depressing
I did the train home that day and don't remember any blues laughing, just a stunned reaction really not about city's result but the news from hillsborough

But after the game, we walked round the front and the caterers were unloading their vans, so one lad who was with us picked up a tray of sarnies & walked up the steps into the hospitality suite. Vic Jobson (their chairman) realised we were city fans & invited us in for a butty & a pint.
This was Jimmy Frizzell's first match in charge (after Billy Mc), and one of our lads saw him outside & said "We're right behind you, Mr Frizzell" & he turned round and said "Hey.........it's Jimmy" in his dour Scottish voice.
Must've got back about 4 in the morning! Happy days...
I was at that Southend game ... i finally got back home about 5am , had an hours sleep , then got up for work !
Other bad ones .... Oxford away , pouring rain , 0-0 draw .... soakin' wet trousers on coach all the way home !
Watford away ....... train caught fire on way home , had only got about 300 yards out of Watford ground 'halt' station too!
