The worst you have felt supporting your team?

[Tangerine_tart]

I can imagine this will have been done to death but being new and wanting to get this forum communicating with others. I thought why not.



For myself it is when we lost against Peterborough the season we had successive relegations under the last few years of the Oyston's. We got absolutely humiliated 5-1 , whilst our spec of neighbours Fleetwood reached the play-offs. Compounding the sh@tness , multiple fans given lawsuits and we looked likely to reach the national league . That and my daughter had no interest and I thought that was that .

Anyone else like to help my first thread ?

Tuesday night in January watching Coventry lose 3-0 (I think?) from the hill outside Sixfields. 11 of us on the hill that night including the journalist David Conn. Pissed it down all night.

Coventry have always brought good numbers to ours. Even during our boycott. It hurts seeing you playing at Birmingham.

Yeah, shambles all round really. We have no hope in the future.

Funnily enough, the match at Birmingham was great last week. Treatest better by BCFC than we ever have been at the Ricoh.

Most recent low point for me was undoubtedly getting beat at Wembley by Forest Green Rovers in the VNL play off final after accumulating 96 points during the league campaign.A big dark cloud followed me around a good six months after that!

I am glad you are back . I loved our spites in the early 2000's

Low spot for us was losing at Preston 2-1 to get relegated 2,years ago. We was staying up at 1-1 and then Bolton scored two quick goals to beat forest 2-1 meaning we needed a winner. We left ourselves exposed at the back chasing a goal and lost in injury time. Pig sick. The drive home I felt numb. I knew we should not have been in the championship and it would not last but it still hurt.
That and watching man City scoring 9 past us was pretty shite.

Getting relegated out of the football league at Burton Albion whilst our fans smashed up their ground wasn’t a very good day, but losing on pens to Bristol Rovers in the play off final to get back into the league was actually even worse because we deserved to win and but for an inept referee we would have. Seeing my lad cry over football for the first time was pretty gut wrenching and then the drive home was awful and we didn’t get back until 1AM. I couldn’t bring myself to watch any highlights of that game until a year later when we won the play off final but strangely it still hurt to watch it.

Thanks. Always a good away day to be had at Blackpool. I went to Tranmere’s first ever league game at Bloomfield rd, Easter 1979.
Good to see Blackpool finally unshackle themselves from those horrible b@#£ards the Oystons.

That weekend in March last season when we ran out of prawn sandwiches, just leaving the cucumber ones in Club Red in the west stand. Never again.

I've never understood why a small minority of your fans talk about smashing our ground up with fond memories and wear it as some badge of honour.
You would think that would be a day to erase from the memory - not say "I was there"

Taking a 2-1 lead into the 90th minute away at Burscough in the FA Cup in 05-06 and then losing 3-2 with a few of our numpties kicking off on the pitch with the locals at the full time whistle.

We'd not long been relegated from the Championship and the good times had definitely ended, a shit team under a shit manager (Neil Cooper) playing shit football.

Even as someone well versed in geography, Burscough was a total mystery until I found myself there watching that dreck. I'll loathe Tony Bullock until the day I die as a result of his "performance" that day.

Yep an embarrassing day in our history that I wish we could erase.

Indeed, a classy club's fans would sing "Albion, Albion" at the end of season walk around because they were all pissed and celebrating winning the league...

Actually, it was a good few seasons ago when they changed all the beers in the Club Red bar for some reason. Instead of Stella they only had Heineken lager.

A bad display can be numbed with Stella.

I’d say now.

In a L2 relegation battle an getting beaten at home comfortably by Carlisle who were also right down there with us - pretty much sealed our fate towards relegation out of the league.

Fortunately we managed to get back up at the first attempt (with a lot of luck) - otherwise I shudder to think that we'd probably still be down there with our sheep-bothering friends from Wrexham

 

[PuB]

Being on the pitch as a kid at the end of the season, circa ‘94, thinking I’d just watched the last game we’d ever play after a throughly depressing 0-0 against someone like Hereford. We were deep in financial shit, in admin, and before the days when Sky invented football with their cash.

 

[Pompey_Squinny]

The day I was mistakenly told that Pompey had folded after yet another day in court. I don't care so much about losing games as losing your club is so much worse.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Right now? No home stadium, a distinctly average League One side and very little hope for the future

I'd go for the 1-2 defeat at home to an as good as relegated Welling on the first Rovers match after legendary manager Johnny King had passed away. A string of gutless performances on field with a clueless manager in Brabin unable to motivate them, on a day when us fans needed uplifting by the team.

Getting relegated out of the football league by West Ham B. Although looking back I think it may have been a good thing in the long-term.

 

[Soup Ladle]

As a Hartlepool fan there've been many dark days. You'd think it was the day we got relegated out the football league in stoppage time in the final game but no it wasn't that. It got worse.

6 months after, we were 19th in the fucking National League, not a pot to piss in and very close to winding up. We organised a fans day, home ends all sold out to play Wrexham at home. There was a collection in the week prior to the game to pay the players their wages, they got paid just before the game. You'd think they'd want to put a show on for the fans to thank them. And these weren't bad players for the league but they had other ideas. They turned out the most insipid insulting performance I've ever seen. We lost 2-0 but it should've been more much more. I walked out about to give up on the club. The culture of the club has been wrong for so many years and still in recovery mode. But that day was just the pits. They really didn't give a shite that we as fans had just put food on their tables and pay their mortgages for a month. Still gets me now almost 2 years on.

Our infamous 1-7 home defeat to Colchester United at the start of our League 1 campaign was nothing short of miserable. After a tough couple of years in the Championship leading to relegation, we'd gone into that season filled with optimism, only for it to be crushed in quite shocking fashion.

I was only 10 at the time, but I still remember the whole day well: leaving at half-time when we were 0-4 down, the two fans charging onto the pitch and throwing their torn season tickets at manager Bryan Gunn, and just the overwhelming sense of doom it all brought over the club.

Of course, that led towards a great few years under Paul Lambert, which has softened the blow in hindsight. Even so, nothing I've seen since has even come close to the pain of that day,

28/5/02 and the infamous three man commission. "Not in the wider interests of football" they said. Nine years later we got to the football league and we've since played in the league above the bastard offspring of WFC. Fuck you FA, we exist despite your best efforts to grind us into the ground.
