Memory Lane Worst ever away match

Harlow away in an FA Cup replay, we lost 1-0 and missed out on a trip to Leicester in the 3rd round (they also lost 1-0 at Harlow in a replay) the old sports centre had one small stand and the rest of the 5,000+ crowd were standing on the grass banks round the ground, most of the home support were teenagers in parkas who were trying to wind us up, I had to go to work the next day and suffer even more![/QUOTE
As well as a terrible performance it was also the cold and the rain that i remember. Horrible evening.

I was at the Aylesbury, Grimbsy not promoted and Gillingham 8-1 games but neither of those feature for me. I was also at the infamous MK Dons freeze your nuts of game and that's a contender but for me it was a meaningless awayday to Chesterfield in the 80s. I can't even recall why I decided to go. I can't remember whether we lost 2-1 or 3-1 but I do know I was bloody freezing and it threw it down with rain. We managed to find cover but I remember standing there seriously questioning my own sanity and I've never done that at a game before or since.

If it's the Chesterfield match I'm thinking of, we paid to get into the terracing behind the goal, and then it absolutely threw it down, after a while the stewards called us over and gave us seats in the stand, and then closed the open stand. So we got in for the cheaper price, latecomers were moaning about having to pay stand prices.

Chesterfield balances out with a game that should have been called off due to snow but they made a massive effort to make it happen and we scored (Tomlin?) right at the death to win 0-1

It wasn't even a handball as the ball struck him on the chest / bicep as he threw himself in front of a shot from about five yards away. I then had to sit and explain the penalty rule to some moron of Wednesday fan in the pub after the game, about how it has to hit the hand and be deliberbate - tw&t was having none of it blathering on about advantage being gained and everything. In a parting shot I told him to download the rules of the game and read the handball rule - full in the knowedge there isn't one!

The ref went solely on the crowd reaction that day!

We'd actually bossed the last 20 minutes or so after equalising and Wednesday threw everything in a last minute attack and got the penalty. I still get annoyed about it to this day.
