In the spirit of the ‘fave’ thread, how about the worst away game and why
I offer you up my worst - Gillingham away FA Cup 2004 - lost 3-2 - shit town, shit ground, shit home fans, shit Charlton performance - I work with a Gills fan (total knob head) and he regularly trots this game out - in fact he emailed me this morning with a photo of Tommy Johnson scoring in that game - tosser

5-0 loss at Watford
Cup loss at Boro night game. Can’t even remember what time in the morning dad & I finally got back to Welling. Even one of our goals was a low point as we all went crazy and my dad ended up going over a couple of rows of seats.
Has to be up there, playing Tudgay as a bloody striker alongside Church, has there ever been a more impotent strike force?
Colchester 4-0
Sheff Utd in the cup QF
Coldest I’ve ever been at football was the Huddersfield away 1-0 win. Harriott scored after a min I think we left after 60.
Hadnt seen us win away for years and was beginning to think it was a jinx, 1-0 down right until the last few minutes when we equalised and then got a penalty in injury time to make it 2-1, Plymouth went straight down the other end and Mpenza I think it was got the equaliser!!
Funnily looking back on it; Arsenal and Liverpool are the only two wins I've seen on the road above League One
And apart from the Play-Off Final at Wembley, those were my first two away games
Shit game, team hammered, locked in, agg in my local. Coinciding with other stresses at the time I was literally on a mental downer for weeks afterwards and I’ve swerved every game there since to avoid additional misery in my life!
For disappointment.....the WBA FA Cup game in 1990. We just couldn't catch a break that season and the FA Cup was just starting to offer some hope. Could not believe our lack of fortune that day!
(Boone was actually on the bench for Colchester that day)
