Tranmere away was horrible but I think I felt more anger than anything else at that sides demise/surrender.

At Burton I was distraught. Without doubt the worst experience ever in football.

Coldest I can think of Buxton away a couple of seasons ago, temp on car said -1 as we headed up the hills out of Leek, by the end of the game we literally had frost on our hats. Also boxing day at Macc, icy rain at open end all game, turned to snow as we left, roads ok while in Cheshire but soon as we hit outskirts of The Potteries (Staffs CC) several inches of snow on all main roads. Last five miles across the city took twice as long as the 15 miles through Cheshire on country roads. Felt sorry for anyone who had to get back to Grimsby that evening

Hartlepool 8-1, Oldham 6-0, Barnsely 4-1 on Boxing Day, Sheff Wed 7-1, Scunny 2-0 when they seemed to take over our mantle. Tranmere was my worst though, half the team couldn't wait to get off the pitch at the end.

That was a real horror too! I was married to a Barnsley lass at the time and most of her family were big Tykes fans. There was a queue of them to take the p*ss that day. I think we equalised but then just fell apart

Another west(ish) country game that happened at was Swindon in the mid-90s. Ffffreezing, tempted to stay in the pub, icey pitch, 1-0 down early on and Town player (Livvo?) got sent off. Heading to one of the worst away days. Then we were saved by the ref abandoning the game.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Another horrible awayday was Leyton Orient in Alan Buckley's first season. It was April Fools Day and we lost 5-0. A young Kevin Campbell, on-loan from Arsenal got a hat-trick.

We got our revenge a couple of seasons later though when we won 2-0 there, 2 Garry Birtles goals I think, a couple of games before we beat Exeter at home to clinch promotion to the 2nd tier.
