Easter 1979, we lost 2-0 at Brighton on Good Friday, 4-1 at home to Stoke the day after, and 1-0 at P*lace on the Tuesday. I make that 3 defeats in 5 days, I went to all three, at least they were all top 5 sides at the time. Must have been similar cases in the past when they packed games into the Easter and Xmas schedules.

Bloody hell, must have been soul destroying (especially with a defeat to Palace thrown in!).

Remember it all too well….the next game was against West Ham who were also up the top, although we got a 0-0 in that one. I think the league computer really wanted to finish us off that season, although through an unlikely set of circumstances we got out of it on the last day. Not that it helped in the long term, we went down like a rock the following season.
Colchester/Huddersfield/Hull that famous week under KF & Riga is only one I can think of.
That Huddersfield Hull back to back was absolutely brutal. I remember having the worst day at work shortly after, felt like I'd just got back from a funeral

Was Frank Worthington playing for Brighton? What a player he was.
Edit: Forget that he was there 84-85, we lost 2-0 over Easter that season.
This is a thing?
