Worst Ever Away Trip?

[Cubbyben]

Newcastle away 1993 lost 7-1, Sheffield Wed away (Cup) lost 7-1 (93-94 I think) Cov away lost 4-2 (95) Ndlovu hat-trick got spat at as we walked out, highlight of the day was one of their fans getting past the police cordon and getting deposited through their club shop window by one of our lot. Villa 4-4 1995 sat in the Holt end upper tier, 4-1 down then got it back to 4-4 couldn't help celebrating got elbowed in the throat all my Villa supporting mates smash the guy then we all get thrown out and they nearly lose their season tickets. Forest away got food poisoning lost 4-0. Tranmere away - won 3-2 but got smashed in outside the ground whilst taunting their fans. West Ham 1994 - battered 3-0 live on TV. Derby away Xmas 1994 I think losing 2-0 got it back to 2-2 they score late then get spat on and a load of stuff thrown at us. Reading this back I wonder why I bother going to away games!

Brighton away 08-09.

2-0 up at half time, then losing 3-2? All the goals at the other end? I remember chatting to you at the end of that and rubbing salt in the wound because Fez and I were off to Paris the next day

[Alexikokopops]

This was horrific.

Freezing cold, got utterly drenched on my way to the stadium, was on my own, game got delayed by 45 minutes due to the conditions, the Saints fans completely destroyed us from both sides and we lost 2-0.

Horrific.

That reminds me of Southampton away in our relegation season. A freezing Tuesday night. There are maybe a couple of hundred Leicester fans there, if that. 10 of us are standing at the back, with no one for about 4 rows in front of us and no one behind us. Hundreds of Southampton fans are standing either side of us. Jamie gets chucked out after ten minutes for "persistent standing" and we get made to sit down. Stern John pops up around the 75th minute to win them the game 1-0. I know it's against the rules to stand, but sometimes a little bit of common sense doesn't go amiss. At least come up with a better answer than "it's not my area, I don't care" when asked why the Southampton fans are allowed to stand and we're not.

What a grutter.

Brighton away 3-2 loss. No roof on the stand, absolutely freezing, raining, and we were 2-0 up at HT.

Drove down and on the way back Tommeh got us "lost" in London and I was up the next day early doors.

That was a really shit night .

Harlow, Jan 1980.

FA Cup 3rd .round replay.

Nightmare 250 mile round trip in thick fog

No warm food/drinks in the ground.

Stood on muddy sloping grass bank: no terraces.

Couldn't see the far goal because of the fog.

Locked in car park for an hour after the match.

Oh, and we lost 1-0

Went without a ticket walked in through a hedge.

Still felt shit after.

Did they not score in the last minute at our's for the draw.

[Mickey O'Neil]

Sheffield Utd in the 90's

I don't know the year or the score. I *think* Delbert played for us at the time.

My mate handed over his ticket at the turnstile, ran up the stairs, started singing "fuc king here we go, here we go...." And was nicked!! The South Yorks copper said to him "dont worry, there will be loads of you nicked today"

Anyway, in those days, when we used to get corners, ALL the Leicester fans would go "ooh ooh ooh ooh." I was in the middle of this chant when the coppers steamed in and nicked me...for racial abuse. Nothing ever came of that but I was worried about being called a racist.

West Brom in the early 90's as well. Again, over-zealous policing by West Mids police cut short my enjoyment of all West Mids games in those years, but the Baggies away sticks out for me.

Forest in the 90's as well. Being herded in a pen when we stepped off the train, marched straight to the ground by the police. I remember walking over Trent Bridge and we were really tightly packed together. Because there were so many of us, I sort of came off the pavement and put a foot on the road. A copper on a horse charged me and got his stick out to me!

Results wise, all Cov games, even that one we just won! I didn't enjoy that victory for several weeks.

Swindon in L1. We fecked that one up. 2-0 up and was giving their keeper, Smith, some stick ("Smiggy is a paedo, (Smiggy is a paedo, la la la la..." )

When they equalised, he turned around and gave uts the V's. The only good thing about this trip was my mate was too fat to get through the turnstiles so they opened up the vehicle gate for him!! I think Jobbers tyres got slashed that day as well.

All the Wolves games with Bull and Walsh. Bull always came out on top.

Blackburn, Wembley. Speedie. Dive.

[frankiesgrandad]

I was going to say the 6-1 loss of Portsmouth, or the Kermagant penalty, but it gets worse.

Cardiff away just gone, boring 0-0, vassell nearly nicked it, but this was the least of our worries.

Me and 2 mates went for the night out in Cardiff on Sunday night. All was well, my mate met this bird (bit of a tramp), but she was all over him. Ended up spending the night with her, and she wanted to come back to the hotel room to get a few hours sleep as she had work in the morning....

Anyway, she came back , nothing happened, she had work at 7am in the morning (to which she didn't leave till 7.15am).

Didn't think anything of it. Just getting everything ready about 12pm ready to go for a nice full english, and theres a bang on the door. I open the door, to find 10 police officers armed with guns run in, pin us down, and arrest us on suspicion of rape!!

We spend the next 24 hours in a police cell, being treated o a rapist, have my bellend swabbed, wondering WTF is going on. I was wondering if any of them did nail it, luckily not.

It turns out, she had a boyfriend, had to take her mum work at 7am, and the easiest way out was to say she got raped! As she thought she was going to lose her job and uuy!

Silly whore. LUCKILY, noone did touch her, or it'd probably be a differen't story.

Moral of the story, when you go to away games, or anywhere in general, be carefull, because it can ruin your life if you bring some dirty sket back.

For weeks after I had nightmares, and was thinking "what if" they believe her. Luckily she couldn't bring herself forward to carry on with it, and went to the police and admitted she lied. Bitch.

Cupid stunt

Yeah, they were right bastards. I remember around 1990 walking up to the ground and 4 or 5 Leicester lads in front of us were talking to each other when 1 of them swore (wasnt you was it ? ), a copper on a horse grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and led him away... unbelievably OTT... Lost 2-0 as well

[Stay Positive]

Away at Cov under Holloway.

We found a great pub which was half curry house, and had a top notch curry there. I remember joking to my mates that I was so comfortable there that I thought I might stay there and meet them after the match. How I wished I'd done just that. The performance was utterly woeful, players played out of position, new signings that were as convincing as Dolph Lundgren's acting, a cutting edge that would have struggled to make a dent in plasticine and an opposition that was as bad as us but still managed to beat us.

[Tielemans63]

A game I'd buried the memory of is Molineux 2003/4. I tried to get to all the local derbies back then and this was a shocker - 3-0 up at halftime and ripping the Wolves fans to losing 4-3 and getting slaughtered by the home crowd. I was gutted for days!

[Bob Weasel Fox]

i remember in around 1989 or 1990 going with a group of mates to see Leicester away at the mighty . . . . Port Vale, we played shite and lost 2-0 gutted, mind we were shite back then

Did they not score in the last minute at our's for the draw.

By now, Harlow were into the Third Round, and their reward was a money-spinning away tie to Second Division league leaders Leicester City at Filbert Street. By this point, Harlow had become the main attraction for the media. The game at Leicester was expectedly one-sided, with Leicester taking the lead before half-time. But Harlow held out at 1-0, and scored a fairy-tale 89th-minute equaliser through Neil Prosser, and amazingly earned Harlow a replay. (From Wikipedia).

5-1 to red scum- Horrible

3-0 to Leeds 96/97, there was a crash on the M1 Northbound, had to go on a massive detour and got there just before H/T as I sat down on the front row Lee Bowyer scored and ran over and celebrated right in front of us and then second half Ian Rush scored 2 and I think he only scored 3 all season!

3-1 to Grimsby, we were 1-0 up at H/T in the coca cola cup 3rd round the year after we won it, second half Juliun Watts and Steve Walsh crashed into the post and Grimsby just ran riot, Blundell Park is crap and we nearly got beat up about 4 times in cleethorps!

2-1 to Blackpool the season we went down, the coldest I've ever been at a football match and then Dickov scored a winner in 89th min

Not for result but for the day Charlton in the cup when Dion scored in the 90th min, I went mental and fell down the stairs and fractured my foot, I could hardly walk and we got the train back to London Bridge and stoke had been playing Millwall and it just all kicked off and I'm trying to run down the platform in my city shirt and a broken foot while there is Leicester, stoke and millwall fans being chased by riot dogs- Crazy!

[allotment-fox]

Luton town away 1978 maybe 79 not sure nov 5th very poor weather 4 or 5 in my 1970 ford escort parked up near the ground

poor game came out just before the final whistle city scored we missed the goal ! got back to the car parking ticket courtesy of the Bedfordshire constabulary

they got the whole street

lost key for locking petrol cap had to bust the petrol cap off on the M1 service station and bung a rag in then at jun 20 for M69 looked down saw my gear stick was wobbling around in the rubber cover thing, grabbed it to see what was going on the whole gear stick came off rubber an all in my hand I passed it to my mate to hold he was having kittens as I panicked a bit ended up on the M69 hard shoulder stopped and pushed it back in as a temporary repair and reversed back to the M1 junction where it fell out again.

late for the fireworks party

[Stevie Synex]

Gotta be the 5-1 defeat at Forest for me. Terrible performance, woeful result and that cvnt Earnshaw is still in my head doing backflips when he got his 3rd.

This

[somebum]

West Ham away, around 2001/2002. We lost 1-0. Just an awful day with scummy West Ham supporters on the tube and having to queue for 2 hours to get back on the tube. Disastrous day all round. Went with my cousin... came back alone

[Alan Young]

1981, Cov, no cover over the away end and it was cats and dogs all game, lost 4-1. Tommy English scored a hat trick. Then we went and swapped him for Jimmy Melrose and he was without doubt one of the worst players ever to wear a city shirt. Depressing.
