Quoted from Les Brechin
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.


Oh Gawd! That's reminded me of another...Last match of the 80/81 season away at Cambridge. Lost 5-0 and we'd parked our minibus in a field near the ground which was to say the least a bit boggy. Of course we had to push the bloody thing out and guess who had to push in the line of the spinning back wheels?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I've been trying to think of something that hasn't already been mentioned.  Goes without saying that Burton is the worst and the League 2 play off final in Cardiff was pretty desperate. Others that spring to mind, the Bristol City game before the one mentioned earlier where we were 3 nil down in 10 minutes, might have been Burnett's first game.  Another horror show was Leyton Orient in the league cup in something like 1999, it was two legs at that stage and we were 4-0 up from the first leg.  I took my then girlfriend and her mate who were local and I paid for them all.  Got spat at from one of the tower blocks on the way there and we lost 1-0 in an absolutely desperate game.

Burton as mentioned was horrid.

I remember a Walsall game (0-0?) on a Monday night that was possibly the most boring game I've sat through.

Away games at bath city were never joyful either except for the people I made the journey with.

Worst for weather was a cup game at Hartlepool where it constantly pi55ed it down. About 30 town fans stuck in an open corner and futch nearly scoring

Stoke 91.

All that way for 70 minutes of sh1te football, and two pitch invasions. Horrible place, horrible club, horrible fans. To be honest, I was an idiot for expecting anything else given what had happened at BP previously.

Cheltenham at Cardiff 2006

Never, ever felt as gutted as I did that day. Burton was inevitable. This wasn't.

Strangely, I can't remember anything about Tranmere. I was there, but that's about all I know.

At least the sun was shining that day Les....the football on offer was poor but at least we weren't freezing our nuts off and got a bit of colour from standing on their terrace

Talking of brass monkeys,  Barnsley away on NYD 1983. P*ssed down, was sooooo cold and we got stuffed 4-0

That season (82-83) was a weird one actually...we were in 4th place in February but ended the season 4th from bottom  

Along the way there were another couple of miserable 4-0 away defeats, notably at Newcastle on Easter Saturday when Keegan ran the show.

I remember missing the coach, getting a lift to Donny, getting the train to Newcastle, standing again in the open when there was a blizzard blowing and on the way home, having got on the coach, our driver got pulled up on the A1 and was issued with a ticket by the cops. Happy days!

As it was raining we went in their end, and there was always the thought what should we do when we score, cheer, get beat up, or keep our hands in our pockets.

We didn't have to worry, our hands kept warm in our pockets.

Halifax 0-4.


The only amusing thing that day for me was the look on a proud Yorkie female stewards face after a rendition of "In your Yorkshire slums..."

Definitely Burton. I have never been so stressed out at a match. Their stewards caused problems and I had a right go at them. How the hell I didn't get arrested god only knows
