The wrexham local paper has a double page spread (for local chester fans) about this weekends game, in it there is mention of a 13-2 defeat to chester in the 60's.
Is this alty's worst game, I am too young to have been there, how bad were we? 
I still see the defeat to mossley in the cup a few years ago as a personal low point.

The worst game in the last couple of years was Burton at home for me. Absolutely pissing down, arrived at the ground soaked, the Burton fans were kept out of the rain so we had to stand towards the Golf Road meaning I could see sweet FA, then they beat us 3-1, then I got re-soaked on the way home.

Rubbish.

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

0-7 at Morecambe middle 90's although we all seemed quite relaxed after the sixth goal went in, who was our keeper that day ?

[Mrs Warbouys]

Was it jerome john? Or was he in net for the 7 we conceeded at woking? Or even both games?

That was 30 November 1929. Even I'm too young to have witnessed that one!

My worst 'game-experiences' would have to include the 0-6 hammering at Holly Park, South Liverpool closely followed by Colne and Burnley ...
But the many good times have more than made up for it! My favourite being the 6-1 hammering of Macc AT Macc in the Champs vs runners=up end of season match. Seeing them lift the Cheshire League trophy in a ground, by that time, devoid of home supporters was a fabulous experience - although trying to get back to the station afterwards was a bit on the hairy side!

The Morecambe game was bad. i'll never forget the joggers nipple I got as well that day to compound things.

But my worst experience was going down 2-0 on a windy/rainy Tuesday night away at Vauxhall Motors in front of about 300, mostly alty.

If I ever needed a reminder that we had fallen from grace it was that night. Its also something that springs to mind when people seem to think that we'd be better off in the BSN winning lots more games.

I've never grasped that argument either.  Play at the highest level you can possibly can.

I know we had a spat with Mansfield recently but rather go to Field Mill than Solihull Moor any day (no disrespect like)

1990 my worst game was alty losing 7-3 slough or yeovil can anyone remember it my best game was when alty won 9-2 against merthyr tydfil

If you're talking about the 0-2 reverse in Nov 2004 then I disagree as we had a good team at that point. Our lowest ebb was losing 0-4 at home to Harrogate on the opening day, 0-4 at Vauxhall and 1-4 at Hucknall a couple of seasons earlier.

worst games ever for me ...

woking away 4-0 lose on a (early 90's) thursday night the game before theywere at wembely , there sub player/keeper saving a penalty and just everything went wrong also there keeper cockface batty came back on and had a great game after receiving treatment

or 3-7 against slough long ago with jamie spencer in net that was terrible , kidderminster fa thropy q/f 5-0 lose (lee hughes hatrick) or freezing my ass of at general chemicals in sub zero tremptatures

[taxi Phil]

The 1979 FA  Trophy defeat by Cheltenham, who were a League lower than us, and had a striker in goal.

And much more recently last year's debacle at home to Forest Green, when we turned a 2-0 lead into a 2-5 defeat !

[Nasha]

Got to agree with Ballers, that is quite possibly the worst start to the season we have ever had. It was so soul destroying to see 15 Harrogate fans celebrate on Chequers. If I felt like that, God knows what people like Cult felt who had seen the glory days!!!

Guisley in the FA Cup in Bernards last game was pretty bad. Probably never felt more gutted as I did that day.

There have been many, however strangely mine is a nondescript league game at home to Farnborough, I'd say mid 90's but I can't recall. We lost without a whimper to a poor side, it rained in biblical style, the crowd was around 550, and Hugh had a drum. I'd travelled up for the weekend from London. I can't recall but I'd guess it might be our first relegation season?
