What's Your Worst Ever Away Day Following Hull?

[Jaffa82]

We've all had them. Those away days where everything goes wrong. The team gets battered, the weather is horrendous, you can't find anywhere to eat, and the drive home takes about six hours.
Mine was Gillingham away about fifteen years ago. League One, midweek, freezing cold Tuesday night in Kent. Left Hull at about 2 in the afternoon and didn't get back until nearly 2 in the morning. The ground was depressing, we lost, the town had nothing going for it, and the motorway was shut on the way back so we had to go through about forty villages to get home. Absolute nightmare.
Close second is Plymouth. Nearly five hours each way for a 0 0 draw in the rain. Home Park is at the end of the earth and while Plymouth itself is actually alright the journey is a killer. Respect to anyone who made that trip on a regular basis.
I know there'll be some good stories in here. What's the worst away day you've had following the Tige
rs?

Torquay away in the early 2000s. Conference level ground, raining sideways, we were rubbish, and I'd spent about forty quid on petrol to get there. But you know what, I look back on days like that more fondly than some of the Premier League games. There's something about a proper awful away day that bonds you with the other fans who made the effort. The bloke next to me on the terrace that day and I still nod to each other at home games twenty years later. Never learned his name.

Hartlepool. Enough said. Though actually the worst for me was an FA Cup game at some non league ground, can't even remember where it was. Roped pitch, a stand that held about 200 people, and a portakabin for the toilets. We won but it was one of those days where you question every life decision that led you to being there on a Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't change it though. That's what following Hull City is about.
