Worst game ever against a team from a lower division...

[Millsy]

Other thread is a good one. So maybe this will be.

Any ideas?

[The 17 Bus]

Hereford FA Cup 76/77

[The 17 Bus]

Wealdstone following season too.

Bishop's Stortford at home in the FA Cup 1982 or 1983.

agreed. last minute winner at elm park for the non-leaguers

[Schards#2]

Wealdstone away in the seventies, lost to a thrice taken penalty by a bloke called duck.

First game against non league opposition i'd seen and it hurt like hell at the time.

Why, did the first two pens hit you in the bollocks or something ?

Can I be pedantic and ask if "lower league opposition" means lower league compared to where we are now in the premiership or lower league relating to where we were at the time. IE. if it's the former can I nominate the entire decade of 1970s and most of the 1980s?

I think the latter. At the time of the game what was the worst defeat.

That I've seen probably York or Barnet in the LDV.

Walsall, although we were in the same division

[fallen angel]

Must be against Brentwood in or about 1969/70

york

ditto

grays athletic 98/99?

[Memories Of India]

I'll toss in a mention for Slough Town away in 1991 - we conceded two goals in injury time in a 3-3 draw. Travelling support approx. 200, one of whom memorably appeared on MOTD, on the field of play celebrating a Reading goal wearing his clapped out leather jacket and Zodiac Mindwarp t-shirt

I went to that match, got soaked.

Come to think of it, I would really like an away day for our FA Cup match 3rd Round at a ground like Slough's.

But we'll get a Premiership Club knowing us these days.

[From Despair To Where?]

Grimsby in the FA Cup in 89. They were bottom of Division 4 at the time and we got a totally undeserved equaliser at their place with a dodgy own goal in the last 5 minutes to take it to a replay. We repeated the trick in the replay by getting a late undeserved equaliser only for Gilkesy to ensure justice was done with am injury time backpass straight to one of their players. Outclassed for 180 minutes by the worst team in the league. They drew the cup holders in the next round, the only consolation being that it was Wimbledon.

Shout. That Reading team was undoubtedly the worst I have ever seen. IIRC that Bishop's Stortford team went on to take Middlesbro' to a replay.

Cant say I recognised you there, I do recall walking away down the high road after in complete disbelief
