Whether it was the ground, result, weather or other. For me the one that will always stick out is Braintree away in August 2011, poor ground and even poorer result, with a long trip back on the coach at night.   Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

Luton away 81/82 in the old Division Two, lost 6-0, drunk it down all game, got drenched or Reading away (old Elm Park ground) on Boxing Day in the promotion season 90/91. For some reason it was an 11am kick off so we had to leave Gy at stupid o'clock. Again it drunk it down all game, at half time the stewards took pity on the soaked through Town fans and were going to put us in the end of Reading's side stand but some old git Reading fan complained so we had to stay in the rain all game. Worst we played all season and lost 2-0. To make matters worse some twit ran into the back of us on the way home and we ended up getting home on the back of an AA truck, [img]https://news.images.itv.com/image/file/402260/image_update_img.jpg[/img] OFFICIAL FUNDRAISER FOR THE BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED SINCE AUGUST 2008 £16613.24 LATEST DONATION - FROM DONATION FROM THE FISHY FORUM - AUG 2023 AMOUNT RAISED £170.00

It snowed, Town were beyond crap and we had to take a detour off the A1 on the way home due to roadworks. Got home at 4.00 a.m. and up for a train to Donny at 6.30 The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

Open terrace, totally exposed to the elements, was absolutely freezing and drunk it down for the entire match. We won 1-0 but the game was pretty rubbish. It then snowed on the drive back which meant it took an absolute age to get home. Yesterday wasn't that bad. Pleasant drive up the A1(M). Free parking right outside the ground. Got in as a student for £8. Knew the weather was going to be cold and windy so dressed accordingly, unlike the casual firm 'hard' lads who resorted to huddling round a hand dryer. gary jones
