Worse return journey home from away game after watching City

has to be charlton for me a few years back at the valley. we lost 1-0 and absolutely battered them. trabelsi and sinclair hit the post late on if i remember correctly. think charlton got relagated that year if i remember correctly ?
 
8 days in a Faroese hospital with nothing but Danish telly and an English to Russian medical dictionary to read.

I reckon for trauma and drama that's second, with the first prize being won easily by Carl Ramsbottom!

it was 4-1, uwe scored in the first few minutes then we collapsed, that wasnt such a bad trip back as it was a 20 minute bus home.

worst for me was probably something like chesterfield in the cup

Don't know if Europeans count as the thread does say 'home' but Shalke was bad, we stayed in Cologne and the traffic to and from the ground was terrible. Must have took about 3 hours from Cologne to the ground and about 2 hours back, what made it seem worse was we ran out of beer too. I was expecting about 30mins on the coach, how wrong I was.

I was on the 1 night trip as well, we stayed in Cologne. Got stuck on the autobahn in traffic, think it was something like 3 accidents along the way. We all stopped off at some service station about 30 mins away from the ground. Finally we got into the ground the match had been playing 15 minute already, but it didn't matter cos we beat Schalke anyway. Then had lots of fun trying to negotiate our way back to the airport all in all a fun trip.

When we went to Hamburg last season our coach driver actually stopped outside the stadium, we were all getting ready to get off the coach, then he decided he was going to carry on driving so naturally he keeps on going and before we knew it were on the outskirts of Hamburg, we were all yelling at the guy to turn the hell around and take us back. Was hilarious, think we all reduced the guy to tears as he wasn't there to pick us up again after the game.
 
There have been so many! But i'm going for Shrewsbury away, mid 80's. We hadn't won away for 4 (FOUR) years and were drawing 0-0. 2 mins to go, get a penalty - Neil McNab steps up...you guessed it (so did their keeper).

On the official coach with Big helen all the way home - life don't get no better than that
 
Not so much my worse journey but definitely 1 of my mates.

On the way back from norwich and taking forever, my mate decides that he needs a slash so gets out of the car on the hard shoulder on a shitty A road, walks into the grass area to have a pee. 10 minutes later he has not returned so one of the lads decided to get out and have a look for him. Just as he reaches the grass area he suddenly appears climbing upwards. “Where have you been?” he says. Turns out he took one step too many and fell into a storm drain, dropping about 30 feet and ripping his kecks and bruising all his back and leg. He struggled for 10 minutes to climb back up. As you can imagine he had the piss ripped out of him for the entire journey home.

Great journey for the rest of us - shit for him.

I should have been on that coach.

It was a daft idea to run the coach to the stadum so close to kick off.

Everyone wanted to be in Gelsenkhirken to soak up the atmosphere. It only took us about 45 mins by train.

At 1pm we were having a pizza with our first beer, hearing "We're Not Really Here" echoing around the streets.

Sorry to rub it in...!
 
To be fair Sunday was pretty awful because of the result.

Standing at OT metro and some **** said 'fucking great that, nothing better than winning the derby'.

Living down south, I've had more horrific journeys coming back from home games than aways!
 
Ipswich where we got relegated from the Prem under Joe Royle... Easter Monday if I remember right, the drive there was glorious sunshine... afternoon in a pub full of City... Goater scored early and then we lose and go down...

Country A roads all the way back and I'm falling asleep... had to stop about a dozen times to stay awake...

I s'pose relegation beats sleep and certain death!!! Took about six hours to do a three hour drive tho'.

try driving 16 hours home from Marseille with no windows !!!!! ,, now think of summat better
 
ayresome Park in the cup for me. Went on a coach that got bricked near the ground. it was that foggy you could just make out the side of the pitch, could not see the goal we were standing behind. saw nothing of the game. we lost and got abuse and bricked on the way out.

remember singing 1-0 2-0 3-0 to city as nothing could be seen on the pitch

after we lost at stamf bridge 5-0, train home was horrific, usually takes 1hr 20mins, but took 5hrs 10mins for no explained reason whatsoever, there was a load of stoned and pissed up hammers fans kicking crap out of the train, some old lady started crying, was no room to move, train was still in middle of nowhere for 5hrs, horrific!

Remember it well mate coming from Shrewsbury was with the City fans and really thought we were gonna win at the end, my worst trip back home was 2 miles when we lost to Shrewsbury in 1979 in the FA Cup 2-0 i was 15 and still at school walked home from the gound with all me Shrewsbury mates and Shrewsbury fans and was gutted, then had to face school the week after with more abuse. 30 years ago that match and that fookin game still comes up in conversation in the pubs even now when i wear me City shirt in town :0(
 
Torquay away 83. All that way for the shittiest game ever. 0 -0. Got home and found my wife in bed with the neighbour.

Happy days.

Reminds me of the old joke.


Got home last night to find my wife in bed with my best friend. "What did you say to him" replies other friend. "Bad dog!".
