Worst away days

Struggling to remember any really bad away days, now that is either because I was pissed, have just forgotten or they were all good in one way or another.

Someone posted Leicester away when Swales was chairman. Lost 4 nil but we had a Swales out banner which made the day memorable

Losing one nil to Arsenal when Mario was sent off, thought the title had gone then

Derby 6 nil, shit performance but the fans were top notch that day

Spurs in CL was bad only because of the trip home when the coach driver got lost. We went past Coventrys ground twice for some reason.

Think the 0-4 at wolves was 1982 possibly Easter time ,went in a pub in Wolverhampton and it got bricked by a wolves fan in a wheelchair unsurprisingly he got recognised and nicked just up the road
We also got bricked in the police escort going down an underpass
Not one of the best away games

It was 4-1. We were 4-0 down at half time but a late Bobby McDonald goal meant we edged the second half 1-0!
It was on Easter Monday. The dippers beat us 5-0 at Maine Road on the Saturday so by half time at Molineux, we’d conceded nine goals in 135 minutes of football over slightly less than 48 hours.

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.

Andy Kennedy gave us the rods after scoring to end first half in which poor Gerry Taggart kept passing the ball into touch. Why Machin thought playing the most one footed left footer at right back was best known to him. Even Neil Lennon (one previous appearance when Birmingham kicked the shit out of him) would have been a better option.

Turned on my radio at half time to find out how my Evertonian mate's lot were getting in v Norwich in the FA Cup Semi only to hear the hushed, solemn tones of the late, great Peter Jones and rest is beyond words.

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...)
