This is not a room and gloom thread but out of interest which City defeats hurt the most at the time.

The reason I ask is that on Good Friday back in 1969, the weather was beautiful, much like today, and City were playing away to Charlton , possibly an 11am kick off. We were riding high in the league, with promotion to the First Division a distinct possibility. I returned from the shops and turned on the TV (might have been Grandstand) and was horrified to see we had been thumped 4-1. It was hard to put into words how deflated I felt.

Similarly the Stoke defeat in the play-off semi-final and of course the Blackpool game at Wembley gave me the feeling that no football fan wants to experience.
