most memorable game for me is stoke away 1990.not the greatest game of football but everything else about it was awesome.

Getting beaten 6-0 by Ipswich at home always sticks in my mind.
On a more positive notes beating Wycombe 3-2 at their place a few seasons ago was ace

The last home defeat by Oxford United, only 37 years ago is still something that sticks in my mind.

Stoke away last game in 90 always stands out for me, as does Blackburn away in the playoffs the same season. 2-4 at the Pox when 2-0 down after five minutes (1990 I think?) stands out too. There are loads though, far too many too mention.

I was stewarding that game and nearly got hit by several off target shots and wouldnt have known until the ball was about 2 foot away from me!

I don't think anything will ever top Swindon 4-3 Leicester. The draw at Blackpool a few years later where we won promotion back to Div 2 was pretty special as well; nothing special about the game itself, but the weekend up in Blackpool was immense. You couldn't move for Swindon shirts.
Other games that come to mind are the 1-0 win vs QPR in Nov 1993 (our first win of the Premiership season...I spent most of the game hyperventilating on the Stratton Bank) and the away win at QPR on the final day of that season. Anyone who was there, dressed in black and walking behind the coffin through Shepherd's Bush before the game will know what I'm talking about. That rates as one of the best away days I can remember.
More recently, Danny's goal vs Peterborough that kept us in Div 3 was very special. And Brentford (A) this season...perfect football day out.

Also right up there is Sunderland (H) 3-1 AET in the Milk Cup in 1985 which also, spookily enough led to a 5-4 aggregate victory  One of the great nights. Ooh, yes I remember this one well - one of the first "big" games that I saw. My main memory of this game is the referee (Lester Shapter if I recall correctly who really didn't like us) making a poor decision, and Lou Macari running on to the pitch to argue with him. When the ref told him to get off and pointed towards the dugout, Lou smacked his arm down & carried on arguing and pointing a finger in his face. Quality management that would probably result in a ban these days. Most of my favourite games have already been mentioned Birmingham 6-4 Leicester 4-3 Newcastle 2-1 (promotion season - Hoddle injured very late before the game, the much-criticised Viveash comes in and plays a stormer) QPR H & A in prem season, our first H & A wins Leeds A in cup (jammy bastards, Robinson header) And a couple of random ones Boston A Mickey Mouse Cup 2002 ish?. Dont go to too many away games but was working fairly close by and made the effort. Was the smallest away crowd I've ever been part of Aldershot A 1982ish. Crowd trouble broke out towards end of 1st half, jumped the barrier and spent the rest of the game standing next to the dugout smelling the smoke from Kevin Morris's pipe

7-1 Loss to Forest is memorable for the wrong reasons. I think Hartlepool Away in L2 was a memorable one as way. Only for the fact there was a renewed wave of optomism and Brezovans saves etc. Leeds away, Gurney's Freekick sheer Class!!

A right good stuffing can be memorable though....the worst I've seen at the CG, was losing 0-6 to Ipswich in 99....it was the biggest home defeat I'd seen since we got thumped by Newcastle 1-6 in 64. That day everything they shot seemed to go in, and we seemed a bit short of defenders, the usually reliable Ken McPherson missing. We went down. The Ipswich game, Craig Taylor got sent off after about 5 mins for deliberate handball. What a bag of dung we had on the pitch that day...I sat up in the DRS, in a sort of stunned disbelief...the team that day Glass in goal....then 6 defenders....Linton, Reeves, Taylor, Hall, Borrows, Sol Davis....midfield Booby Howe and Ty Gooden, Iffy and Shane fucking Bradley up front. The amazing thing was we went to Uddersfield on the Bank Holiday Monday won and stayed up..
