Thread: Single most disappointing moment as a City supporter?

    Single most disappointing moment as a City supporter?

    Losing 5 - 1 away to Sheffield United in the 1970/71 season.

    This was brought up yesterday in the thread linked to their messageboard, but those contributors around then will know what I mean.

    Anyone else care to share a painful moment?

    Losing to a terrible Blackpool side at Wembley

    Jay Bothroyd getting injured in the play off final and knowing our manager would be utterly clueless in dealing with the change.

    Quite a few to mention.
    Stoke in the Play-Offs stands out as does the Reading Play-Off.
    Blackpool was tough but more upsetting than dissapointing.

    Think this should be a single most disappointing moment other than the play off final.

    There's not much between the two matches. Back in 70/71, only two teams went up and even more difficult to get promoted with only two points for a win. City finished 3rd, the Blades 2nd .... in effect it was a playoff final in which we capitulated really badlyl

    For us oldies, Blackpool was a re-run of emotions, but the Sheffield game still hurts.

    The first one I thought of as well.
    Defeat in the play off final was pretty hard as was the League Cup final although strangely not the FA cup as just getting to the final was almost enough.
    Off field the change to red has to figure and especially 'scarfgate'.

    Losing to to Barry Town in Welsh Cup Final. Putting up with subsequent abuse in The Castle and The Windsor from mullet haired pool players. Dark days. The closest to home that one.

    Stoke playoffs, as the late goal was more of a focused moment of disappointment.
    The year we lost to reading in the playoffs we had been a brilliant side, but our failure was protracted over the course of weeks rather than minutes

    But how many scarves were thrown onto the pitch that day? Single figures!
    (I do know about them clogging the urinals)
    And you still see the odd one being worn....

    Maidstone in the cup?

    I think everyone under the age of 50cant remember toshack so probably why so few mentions

    That's three! This could get out of hand and right depressing if we're not careful.

    The playoff final against Blackpool for me. We showed so much promise that year - looked amazing and we had the heart break the year before with losing out on automatic promotion then the playoffs places too. I can't even watch the playoff final highlights since it happened - it's too painful. We should have gone up that day - on paper we were far better but the players just let us down to be honest. Ok I know in the championship anyone can beat anyone on their day but we had been up there all season - Blackpool hadnt. After the amazing semi final legs against Leicester it was a massive disappointment and even beating Swansea at home that year in a last gasp goal by chopra - it looked like it was ours for the taking. IMO some of the players egos got the better and we did t play as a team. Too many individuals wanting to be the hero! The following year - was almost on par - again we had Bellamy, we looked amazing, we should of gone up again - but no not us - Swansea of all clubs instead! We've had some humiliating times as a city fan over the last 10 years but also some brilliant times. I know that it could have been a lot worse but when you nearly have something then you don't - it's extremely hard to take!

    In those days the only way to hear the football results was just before ten on clock on BBC radio.
    I remember hearing that 5-1 score and being in disbelief.
    At the time Bramall Lane was totally open on one side with a cricket pitch there I recall.

    Losing against Stoke at home just after Cardiff fans had been asked not to come on the pitch to celebrate our win was a classic.
    That has to be the most idiotic annoucement ever made while a game was in progress.
