Worst away days

Blackburn 4 - 0 City. 1989

Moulden benched. One footed (left) Taggart playing right back trying to play it with the outside of his left foot down the line. Kept finding the stands. Simon Garner hat-trick. Then news of Hillsborough coming through afterwards. Miserable day.

Grim!

6-0 defeat at Derby in '89. Every City player gave up at 4. Torn to pieces by McMinn, Saunders, Goddard and Micklewhite on their tiny pitch. Grim.

As was 4-0 at Leicester in 86-87. Everything that could could go wrong went wrong. Back passes stuck in the mud, passes straight to dangerous players like Alan Smith znd Gary McAlister who would both go on yo much bet

Notts County in 85. 12,000 Blues at Meadow Lane to clinch promotion against already relegated Notts with songs of "We'll be up by 5 o'clock" but abject City are 3-0 down Rachid Harkoul and Justin Fashanu at half time and more than a few bad boys ripping up the fence at half time. Pitch invasion, chaos, horses gallopinh on the pitch Billy Mc and Jimmy Sirrel coming out together towards the end of 45 minutes of half time appealing for calm. City almost pull off a comeback but still lose 3-2 setting up a last day with Charlton at home (winder what happened there...)

I was at Derby away the season after. They played the commentary of the six nil over the tannoy.

Boro 8-1 for me - thankfully it didn't matter.
Edit: that said feckin Wigan - can't stand the place, and when we play there it seems like 50% of the chunts are wearing raggy shirts

5-2 win at Stoke in 1998. We won but got relegated and Alan Ball's Pompey stayed up at our expense. Getting bricked on the coach park after. An absolutely shit but mad day.

That Stoke away was a nightmare.

Weren’t expecting owt but one Highbury away will always stick with, can’t recall the year but rain was coming in to the stand almost sideways and we got battered 5 or 6 nil. I think the goat had a shot at 0-0 and that just seemed to piss them off.

Shit rain, shit result and a shit ground.

Coventry on new years day, think it was with joe royle in the prem. Stinking hangover, drew 0-0. Just a bobbins day!
Charlton away first game of that season, 4-0 down at half time I think, was in a pub for the beginning of second half. Stuck on the motorway afterwards for hours and we ran out of beer!
Away games are all about the day out win lose or draw but those two games for me I couldn't wait to get home.
