Leaving the Vic - Mainly because I wasn't quite old enough to go down on my own and experience it with my mates!
Also the Man City thumping and getting relegated!
Blowing our chance of the Prem in 96 was pretty bad, but not a really low because we'd done so well that season!

the announcement that Chic Bates was our new manager
obviously satdee doesnt compare in the pantheon of awfulness that this thread could run & run to & to anyone who didnt go to the game this will seem strange but it WAS a truely mind-numbingly horrible game.

Where do you start !!
I think it was losing at home (The Vic) to 9 men in the some crap cup competition. Think it was Leighton.
Walsall away leg play off semi-final
Gillingham away leg play off semi-final
Blyth Spartan
The Vale home defeat

No 1 let-down of all time:
31st March 1971 Hillsborough FA Cup Semi-final v Arsenal
SCFC 2-0 up (Smith 21, Ritchie 30) then that b**%^rd Storey scored a penalty in 90th minute, after pulling 1 back just before H/T.
At least Waddo had the balls to attack teams, unlike some I can think of at the moment.
2nd worst feeling - the last two weeks! Combining the heartache v Chelski and the abject negativism demonstrated by Pulis v Manure.
The next worst feeling would be: P8 W0 D0 L8 against the top four this season! Can anyone ever see Sir Tone having the cavalier attitude and going for broke against one of these smug "top" 4 tossers?
Remember Arsole Whinger's face after last season Tone? Go on lad, there's your inspiration.

Can't remember the Notts County one but I do remember us losing to Burnley 4-1 (i think) and having a pitch invasion at the end.
'We're shit and we're sick of it' was the chant.
I must admit to welling up a nit and being extremely worried about what lay ahead.

The Forest 6-0 game. What a shitter that one was. 4-0 down at half time and I was in the Forest end. It was picked p on by some Forest fans who came over to me and my mates at half-time.
We were greeted with the words' are you stoke' at which point my mate said yes pal so if you're going to give us a slap can you please do it now so that we don't have to watch that shite again in the 2nd half.
The forest lads brought us a pint and we chatted about our prospects in the lower division next season. Ironically, it was us who went on to bigger and better things and Forest who have struggled since.
However bad that game was though it can come noweher near to the experiences of the 0-7 game against Brum. That was horrendous on all fronts. For a start, when the 6th and 7th goals went in the Stoke fans started to cheer and celebrate as if we'd scored ourselves. It was a truly horrible day and one that needs us to remember how far we have come in the last 12 years.
And to set the record straight regarding the Munich song. I was leaving the ground when this started to circulate the stadium. Now for me, theres no-one who hates them dirty bastards more than me. I hate them and have in the past said things about their manager, Munich, players etc that are unrepeatable on this board.
However, if someone thinks that the Munich song is one of the lowest moments in their Stoke City supporting lifes then they realy do need to reach for the old footy programmes and oatcakes to realize just how many shite moments we've had over the last 20 years.
I was surprised in one sense that the Munich song was not sung earlier, this based on just how much rivalry and hatred there is for Manchester United in and around Stoke On Trent. I've heard that song sung in Cheadle, Leek, Hanley, Newcastle etc many a time down the years so why be surprised when its sung in the stadium. Personally, I don't agree with the song itself just like I didn't agree with a minority of supporters who were singing the song about Dr Harold Shipman killing their grannies but if you don't agree with a song then don't sing it. It really is as simple as that.
So lets stop talking about Saturday and those dirty scum idiots and get back to backing the Potters.

The pitch invasion came after the Bristol Rover 1-4 (fiver entry), if I remember correctly; Burnley also scored four at The Brit in that period, though (was that the game where Pickering scored a blinder?).
The whole second half of that Little season was shocking. Rochdale at home in the Autoglass? Millwall away against nine men; Bournemouth 4-0, Gillingham the same; countless batterings at home. It was depressing in the extreme! (The 3-2 win at Springfield Park was one of my favourite games, mind!)

Man City away in 98 (?) under Brian Little was a bad one. 1-0 up against a terrible Man City team that got booed off at half time only to lose 2-1. Everyone realised that we weren't going to get promoted any time soon.
Confounded by having to run the gauntlet of thousands of brick hurling knuckle draggers around the streets of Moss Side and watching a 10 year old boy dragging a police women off her horse by the leg.

That was over Christmas (29th December?). Did we lose 0-1 at home to PNE on Boxing Day or was it 0-0? We certainly got beaten at Walsall the week before. |

16th April 1990, when Newcastle finally put us into Division 3. I was numb, although it was obvious we were going down, I just couldnt believe we were going to play Chesterfield and York the following season.
Lossing to Leicester in the play offs, the Delilah at Half Time was immense, and I thought 2nd half we willl beat these. I went home (then Cambridge) and spent the next 4 fooking days reading teletext in total disbelief that we had blown it

There's been plenty that's for sure.
One for me is probably Gillingham away 2nd leg play off semi - mainly because we were cheated out of the game, no-one will ever convince me otherwise.

As highlighted earlier, losing the roof of the Butler street in 1976, then seeing Greenhoff sold, followed by everyone else in the that early 70s team that could be sold.Then most of the 1984/85 season,,,the ground was empty most weeks and at the end of the season you knew we were going down for a long long time.(almost a bloody lifetime as it turned out!)

1990 (I think) Wigan 4 - 0 Stoke at Springfield Park. That's when Stoke hit rock bottom!
More recently West Ham away and Chelsea away last season were both hard to take for different reasons.

Three for me
As already mentioned. The Birmingham game. But because we started to cheer their 6th and 7th goals it started to turn into a farce and you just had to laugh
The Man City 5-2 game was awful. Not just the football, but the violence around the ground afterwards was a disgrace. I was so close to being hit by a brick!
The other one for me is the 1-0 loss to Vale at home in Feb 2002. Completley spinless and toothless display and spent the rest of the day without speaking to anyone.

I have to say the Man city relegation match, but there was a funny story.
When we got outside the ground there was mahem me and my brother went to get the Newcastle bus but the driver had gone missing so some random bloke got in and drove every one home and dropped them where ever they wanted. God jknows where he left the bus but it did make me laugh.

The one I am referring to is deffo Notts County I remember Nick King (NJKK) being escorted round the pitch defiantly displaying his red card whilst about 4 OB tried to stop him - Nick is still one of my Stoke City hero's to this day  |

Another vote for the Walsall away play off game in 2001.
People talk (rightly) about us waving white flags before kick off with the way we set ourselves up at the moment, but Pulis isn't a patch on Gudjon for that. O'Connor at right back, 20 goal Thorne on the bench, and Rikki "fucking" Dadason on his own front.
We took the lead against the run of play only for Wardy to inexplicably drop a corner into his own net and we were thoroughly and deservedly bummed from that point on.
It was just soul-destroying to think we had to endure another season in that shite division after thinking we'd walk it after our great form the previous year.

There's been plenty of low moments supporting Stoke, but one of the lowest I can genuinely remember was standing on the away end at Ninian Park in May 2002 contemplating a fifth season in the third tier of English football. It truly was a demoralising experience, especially with those Cardiff wankers rubbing our noses in it as well. Then James O'Connor popped up. |

Hmmmmm, well being quite a young fan it starts in Division 2. Gillingham away (fucking Styles), THE home defeat to brum, you know the one. Forest in 2002/03(?), Nuneaton brings bad memories too. There are quite a few.
