Yes I was on one of the trains. Made it as far as Kettering from memory......
I remember us getting hammered 4-0 at Arsenal on a Tuesday night (porbably 81), and we were woeful. Glenn Geard made his debut and possibly only appearance.
This. But understated. We were 3-0 up at half-time in the first leg with a Danny Wilson hatrick. Passage should have been booked for teh second round.

The night of 9/11 - pretty sure it was Southhampton.
Not quite sure why I went to the game, seeing as what else had gone on that day.

I thought that we totally bossed the 1st half, could not see us losing but Gus f***ed up completely asking Vicente to play up front. Gus does not have a very good record of finding effective forwards for his style of play. The only one who looks threatening, Barnes, he turned into a midfielder. He needs to apologise to us
Bossed was a bit overstated. I think the players have to make things happen, like the three up front running around a bit.

J'les aurai!
yep,absolutely played off the park that day,could of been more
to be fair oxford were very much an up and coming side,by 84-85 they'd won both div 3 & div 2
by 85-86 they were in a higher league than us & won the league cup v.QPR 3-0!
perhaps it wasn't a shock after all

I have vague recollections of a match against Middlesbrough at the Goldstone some time in the late 80's I think. We'd already lost the 1st leg 5-0 at Ayrsome Park, so quite why I bothered pitching up for the 2nd leg I have no idea. I stood on the East, and it was absolutely HONKING down, so much so that the stewards opened the barriers and let the pathetic number of poor bedraggled mugs through to the shelter of the North Stand during the game. Which we lost 3-0.
What was I thinking ?

I was on one of the two trains that didn't make it. Some of my mates offered me a place on their coach a few days before. I declined, prefering the train option. They still remind me of that fatefull choice to this day!
That would be my worst League Cup experience.

The Oxford game was FA Cup. One of the few occasions that I have left before the end. No choice really. My mate was driving and he wasn't prepared to stay.

As one guy shouted as he walked out of Sixfields that evening after 26 minutes - "I could have watched Eastenders but came here instead".

Good result in my book , we are going to struggle this season.
I have a worse league cup experience. I was working in Manchetser last year, and somebody offered me a free ticket to go and watch United play Palace that night. Oh what fun it would be to watch Palace be humiliated...

I went to Birmingham City to watch Barnet lose 5-1 last night.
Nice ground, some abusive chants were exchanged between the rival fans in the very close proximity you get at St. Andrews but one or two very tasteless ones were directed at Marlon King that seemed to light the blue touch paper for after the game. About 100 or so Brummie chavs were gathered outside the away end where all the home supporters walk past. There were no Police about anywhere; it was a free-for-all. Missiles were thrown, we were locked in by the stewards but the Brum fans were determined to get at the Barnet fans. With time going on, patience was wearing thin with the last train from Birmingham New Street leaving in about half an hour with over a mile still to walk. They were dispersed fairly quickly although the coaches windows got bricked.
Where the f*** the West Midlands Police were I don't know. Not a single one about all night.

At least Glenn Murray did nothing in that one to REALLY rub it in......
