The 6-0 at maine road that time was pretty bad. Can't remember which year it was.

Edit. 1997.

I raise Eastleigh at home with a 7-0 at Bolton in 97, the 6-0 debacle vs Ipswich at home in 99, the 5-1 Rovers LC game in 84, the 7-1 at Newcastle in 94, the 7-1 at Forest in 06, 6-0 to Scunthorpe away last year, the 2-1 home to Stevenage in 98 when they were non league.

The list of awful games in endless....

The 73/74 season was pretty shite. One win in 14 games - Oxford 1-0 - 5 goals scored.

Had Richard Legg playing who was a Chippenham lad I went to school with, albeit 3 years ahead of me - fine playing at Hardenhuish Park but dreadful at the CG. Borne out by his career also taking in Bath City and Trowbridge Town.

Worst performances?  Where to start, there have been so many. It tends not to be just the dismal standard on the pitch, the opposition helps, but also the context within which it happens from a personal view.

So for example, you go to Newcastle get beat 7-1, but it doesn't feel anything like as bad losing to someone tinpot  like Cheltnumb.   Newcastle is at least a football city. The ones where you go somewhere like Barnet, away fans outnumber home fans and still you lose  Angry

My personal nadir was away at Rushden and Diamonds, for any number of reasons.   Sometimes you get a Histon away, my then sister in laws kids used to go to school in Histon, she lived edge of Cambridge, used to go there loads, didn't even know Histon had a team  Angry

Bit like getting beat by Purton.

I've definitely come to hate games against the arriviste sides from non league, whether in the cup or when they get promoted. Burton last season being the sort of thing, they're flying we were battling relegation, yet about 20% of the crowd were Town fans.

They easily go up, despite having no name players and change manager, and seem able to cope at Championship level. Forest Green could well be next for a visit 17/18. I can just hear Luke now....boys against men what do we expect they've a bigger budget?  Town fans kick off due to lack of beefburgers and Bovril.

Yeah I understand what you are saying Reg, Cheltnumb cup thrashing is a lot harder to take than a 7 goal defeat to Forest or the Geordies.

Stevenage home was a low spot, Digby keep kicking the ball long at the instruction of Mcmahon into the wind only for it to come straight back him, often without touching the ground.

Awful defeat to a non league team.

The 2014-15 3-0 losses to Bristol City and MKD on quick succession were fare more painful than any of the 7-1 and 6-0's I've experienced watching Town.

We were in the bottom tier in a corner as I recall. When the 6th, or possibly the 7th, went in, the travelling Town support turned to the Forest fans in the tier above and gave a gutsy rendition of

"And we're by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen"

A great moment from our fans, if not our team of the time.

And "What's it like to be outclassed?" IIRC. Although that may have been when we got the 1 goal back. Applauded out of the ground by the Forest fans, we showed all the pride and spirit the team lacked that day. My eldest's first away game, he loved it!

 got into an argument with a forest fan after that game, was walking back to train station and obviously mildy pissed off, my mate phoned me to tell me that the score had come up in letters on sky sports to which I replied saying the ref was a joke, 3 of the goals where fouls on the keeper and 4 had been offside and we should have won 1-0 to which q forest fan went mental at me saying I didn't know anything about football?! Haha turns out he didn't understand sarcasm
