I went to the West Brom and Southampton defeats, but really they're not amongst my worst. Sutton Utd was rubbish, so was going to Scarborough mid-week and getting beaten in the Cup. Plus at the beginning of the 80s there was a dreadfully boring 0-0 draw against Middlesborough on Boxing Day that sticks in the mind.
For me, a heavy defeat doesn't really make a game a "worst" memory. I remember us losing 5-1 at Leicester just before Xmas, the one where Bobby GOuld ran onto the pitch. We got hammered but it was a good laugh. Filbert Street was a good ground to watch the City in.

Was that the day we sold Huckerby ? Didn't know until the teams came out.I went to my first away game at Filbert Street, We played in the white away kit on a wednesday night and lost 1-0. I was hooked.
i cant remember about huckerby i was only young hahaWas that the day we sold Huckerby ? Didn't know until the teams came out.
I think that twat Birchinall was trying to wind the city fans up over it.
There have been a few, losing away to Rochdale in the cup, must have been 5 years ago now. A very average Dale side made us look like a pub team that day.
I think the loss at home to Ipswich season before last having bossed most of the game was the most demoralising. it was then I realised we were going down.
Great day on the piss though was Rochdale!!! Moody notes, that fat bird from wife swap working behind the food counter and getting her tits out and loads of us ending up on the piss in Stafford on the way back and the bouncers getting twitchy about how many of us were in their boozers!
Bradford at home at HR one Bonfires Night.
They brought about 45 fans (I actually think I counted them!) and it was the dullest 0-0 in history. The biggest cheers were reserved for the fireworks going off over the ground. Yes the game was that bad.
Watford away one year when I was hanging out my arse after a late one in Scholars, was nearly puking before the game, couldn't have a beer and I think we were about 4 down at half time (we might have lost 5-2 or something), was sat right by the away fans who even took pity on me and fucked off straight after the game and went home to bed. Not my finest match.
It was a somewhat different day for me, I was living in Bury at the time and several of my mates are Dale fans (they are kind of my pet team as well so had mixed feelings about the day to begin with).......... the ribbing was merciless...........
Too many to list them all, but everton at home in 1980 0-5 , the Notts county game Deano mentioned were bad .
More recently the plymouth away game and Wallsall last season was a shocker.
But my all time worst game in regards to entertainment was a 0-0 draw v Bradford on bonfire night 2003 , it was without doubt the most tedious 90 minutes of my life, if it wasn't for the fireworks i would have fallen asleep.
League cup tie mid sixties, Coventry 1 Leicester 8. Don't think I have to say anything else.
I remember a match v forest at HR, forest had 2 chaps sent off
and we drew 0-0 2001 season
forest had about 8 bookings
I met a few Dale fans in Switzerland for the England/Argentina "friendly" in 2005 and they ripped the piss out of me as well if that makes you feel better?
