There's been a few over the years... Cambridge away in 71/72. Boxing Day 11.00 kick off. Town didnt turn up. Lost 3-1. A 4-0 hammering at Walsall in 2003(?)-to date the ONLY  Town match I've left early through choice. 5-0 Braintree...
My vote goes to the F.A. cup tie at Ipswich in 1982/3. A stone smashed the large half windscreen on the near side of the bus but the driver felt able to continue because his part of the screen was intact. I was on the side with the smashed window and we travelled about 60 miles with a howling freezing January wind blowing down the bus. On the outskirts of Ipswich the driver ploughed into the back of a car driven by a young lady at traffic lights causing her to become hysterical and the police to be called who "detained" us until about 2.50 but the decided to give us an escort. We arrived at the ground after kick off and were directed by some stewards INTO THE "HOME" END from which we had to make a very quick exit. The first action we saw on the pitch was Whymark being cartied off with an injury. Town lost and the promise of a night out in Boston on the way home was dashed by police road blocks preventing Town buses entering the town.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

The 4-2 defeat at Halifax was awful, Town fans shouting “we know what we are, we’re f***** spoiled, we know what we are” and “Hurst is a w*****” made it a truly horrific afternoon. The 4-0 defeat 2 and a half years previous to that was dreadful as well. That Rotherham one was not very good. I remember a terrible 4-0 defeat at Port Vale when Bosh got sent off during the terrible run under Woods. The one for me that sticks out was that defeat at Chasetown in the FA trophy, welcome to non league everybody.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Burton away when we were relegated to the conference


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Burton, Halifax (2-4), Lincoln (0-5). I only really go to about a half dozen away matches a season and it’s because I’ve got an appalling away record!

That Ipswich game in 82 was my first Town game. Dagenham away in the snow was bad and it took hours to drive back to Reading. There were a couple of games at Fulham in about 85/86/87 I think where we lost 0-4 it poured down and my zbrylcreem ran into my eyes - burn lasted ages.

Donnie say mid 80s - we were late they scored as we walked in and rest of the match was awful. Poland away in Poznań with England in the early 90s was the worst though - German Nazis and England fans fighting each other at every opportunity

Doesn’t sound good barra, although not sure what Boston was like in those days, as if you missed a night out there nowadays it would be an absolute bonus!!!

Early 80s Millwall away in the cup. Couldn't find the ground so drove up and down the Old Kent Road for ages too scared to stop and ask anyone as all the locals looked horrible. Eventually found a copper who told us it had been cancelled.
Too late to go anywhere else and the Spurs v Arsenal match was on if we'd found out earlier
