Worst Day to be a City Fan.

[jerry]

Have supported the club for 60 years and I can't remember a more dispiriting day than yesterday. Cup holders being outplayed and out fought by our closest rivals , ridiculed and named a tin pot club on social media and add that to the violence caused by thugs masquerading as supporters. Any interest in the rest of the season has died as far as I'm concerned.

Watford playoff game gutted me more.

Worst day since third tier relegation. That day felt like the world was collapsing.

Not a chance.

 

Going into administration.

I had the same feeling after/today. A really dark day for the club in general. Absolutely nothing positive to say regarding on or off the pitch matters. Really really dispiriting. Being honest it’ll probably make me swerve some games for a while now.

The day itself, even a loss like that to Forest, wouldn’t bother me in a vacuum. It’s the entire season around it that makes it so bad, it’s a symptom of a failing system and was highly predictable.

Getting relegated to League One was a million times worse.

For goodness sake - get some perspective please. 

 

Relegation to League 1 and entering administration in October 2002 wasn't great was it? But for any genuine follower of the club, the darkest 'worst day' was 27th October 2018. Really, does that even need mentioning? 

 

Regarding these "thugs" - since they were "masquerading as supporters" then they're nothing to do with our football club are they? 

[Spudulike]

It might be because I wasn't there yesterday, but the Wycombe match felt worse for me. That was the cliff edge that we all knew signalled the end of an era. Just hope this isn't another one of those especially as we haven't got the stadium expanded yet.

Of course that was tragic and I grieved along with everyone. This relates to an actual football match and occasion and I'm sure some of these so called ' fans ' are regulars and represent us not just as a football team but as a City.

The violence as disgusting as it was bears no relation to the violence of the 70s as for the performance and defeat if that was the worst them you must have missed many other occasions,

 

Feeling bad , feeling dispirited - Yes but our Nadir now way.

[CosbehFox]

Ironically I had more pride for us at the city ground a week after administration where we let in a last minute equaliser but shown incredible fight despite players being paid naff all at the time. Than yesterday

More dispiriting as we seemed to be moving away from the Neanderthal period. My eldest son lives in Nottingham follows Rugby and his opinion of football and it's followers has not been let's say enhanced by yesterday's happenings.

I have no pride in my club currently

Realistically these types of Neanderthal's  have always been there in the background waiting for an opportunity and this was it. I'm not surprised at all and I'm sure if were were playing them along with Derby and Coventry regularly it would be a much more common occurrence,

The day of the helicopter crash was far and away the worst day to be a City fan.

 

I genuinely believe a bit of the club died that day too.

I couldn't eat properly for a week after that, this isn't half as bad for me, because Forest are still way off where we are as a club whatever they think

I agree and maybe I should have titled it one of the worst days to be a City Fan on a game related aspect.

Fair do's mate. 

 

Football-wise, yesterday is right up there. The 0-4 at home to Newcastle last season was also pretty horrendous.

[grobyfox1990]

No chance. Rotherham on boxing day 2004, Deeney day, league 1 relegation, the capitulation at Bournemouth away in lockdown, even that midweek Kermogent scored the penalty at Charlton away and ran towards the away end was worse. Yesterday was terrible, but it's early stages of the fa cup against a 'rival' who self-proclaim we are not a rival. The coke-fuelled thuggery seen pre-match is less worse than i saw outside be @ 1 in berkely sq on friday night when a bus full of essex arrived

I think you'll find that it was a 2-4 home defeat.

You're right. Pretty heinous performance though.

[Spudulike]

I'm not sure if it makes it worse or not going out in that fashion against lower league opposition being the FA Cup holders. 

 

I think I'd have felt worse about yesterday had we not beaten Chelsea last May. Our clubs name is engraved on that cup whatever happens. 

[Beliall]

It was disappointing, and it made me angry enough i turned off the tv after their 4th went in. then i went and did something else. its football. not the end of the world. and forest played well, as bad as we were, they were great.
