worst withdean momment

[The Terminator]

as it seems today were looking back the withdean years whats the worst you have felt at the withers
for me maybe that bristol city game were we got thrashed 4-1 .

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Jobi Mcanuff.

I REFUSE to mention anything else about that. :US:

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Hmmm...

Perversely, I quite enjoyed the 5-1 thrashing by Stoke in the end.

Notable mentions

Millwall, when we conceded a 1-0 lead within 5 minutes of the restart and we were then hit by a sleet storm.
Losing to Mansfield Town 3-2 in the FA Cup.
Losing 3-2 to Port Vale (how it wasn't 7 or 8 is beyond me), which effectively ended our promotion hopes.
Losing to Palace in the last minute...
Losing 4-1 to Crewe, although my mood was tempered with a STINKING hangover from the jaunt to Lords to see the real heroes of Sussex.

losing to bottom of the league port vale missing the grand national SHOCKING

 

[BASINGSTOKESEAGULL]

Remember that Port Vale game well, we were in a good run of form leading up to that match too, but they hit the woodwork about 4 times I remember, we were terrible. But the worst one for me was the 5-1 defeat at home to Stoke, easily the worst performance I have seen, shocking that day.

 

[Beach Hut]

That Milwall loss was terrible as it really was the writing on the wall for relegation.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Palace last minute winner was a choker.

 

[burrish-gull]

Rochdale we lost 4-2 I think on a tuesday night, that was the coldest and wettest I've ever got down there.

 

[Chucky20]

Losing 3-0 at home to Blackpool in front of the sky cameras, because of the performance and because some bloke moaned at me in the family stand for trying to support the team..

 

[raymondbriggs]

Rochdale on that december friday night

or some f*** awful evening game when we had a freekick by the south touchline in their half and seeing a huge mushroom cloud of steam coming from a critical mass of 22 players standing just inside the D.realised then that Magee had no f***ing idea and we were doomed.

 

[Falmer]

Beating top of the league Millwall 3-1. I got so soaked it wa very hard to enjoy the experience being freezing cold too. I remember just thinking how sweet it'll be when we have a roof and how cold, wet and windy conditions pretty much makes the Withdean experience non-enjoyable regardless of the score.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Plymouth, very early on so probably 2000, think it was an evening game Cup replay.

We went 1-0 down early, and then huffed and puffed for 70 minutes before finally getting an equaliser, Aspinall scored I think. Plymouth kicked off, came down our end and scored instantly. I was properly pissed off.

 

[Napper]

Mansfield + Palace for football reasons.

Weather wise , far to many to mention just one

 

[NMH]

Having to come from behind against orient after totally dominating them all the first half.
I was standing with Dean Wilkins for some of that game, and neither of us could believe the number of misses that kept them in it at 0-0.

Worse was probably the 1-5 v Stoke though, and getting told afterwards that the result didn't matter. We already knew that, before buying the ticket thanks Magoo.

 

[keaton]

The Port Vale was bad but there was some cracking goals to "enjoy" at least. The worst for me was Orient on boxing day last year, hungover with a mate who'd been made redudant, horrible weather the worst and most boring game of football i've ever seen

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Losing to Wimbledon
Losing to Stoke - same season.

 

[love Brighton.hate palace]

weather wise it would have to be fc united
i got picked up and they were rushing me so i just grabbed a coat a went i took a thin non water proof jacket, that go soaked and had to take it off because it was just sticking to me and making me colder .
so there i was in the dark playing non league opposition, half our ressies, out rain poring down, freezing cold wearing a thin as you like t-shirt

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

weather wise it would have to be fc united

Rochdale 2000? Surely?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Rochdale 2000? Surely?

Yes. I was particularly lucky that my first Withdean game was the Plymouth Cup game described above, and my second was the 4-3 defeat to Rochdale in the rain( Scott Ramsey missed a one-on-one that would have made it 4-2 to us.) However that Rochdale game was also Cullip's debut, so a progression to champions the following season can clearly be seen.

Failing against 9 man Walsall
