For me the entire 1986-87 and 1996 seasons were bad - nearly relegated in each case, and nearly bankrupt in the latter. Individual games include the 92 (?) Regal Trophy loss to Widnes someone else quoted - a disgraceful 'team' display where a very good Widnes took us apart almost at will.

Bizarrely, I'd add winning the Challenge Cup in 1999, because I'd just emigrated to Australia, and my b*starding team goes and finally wins one of the big competitions I'd been hoping for since 1981, and I wasn't there.

Who's Steve Kean?

For me as a Wakey fan its 2010-2011, we went from finishing 5th in 2009, to having an even better squad in 2010. We beat Leeds convincingly on our patch, then it all went wrong. Brough was sold, Tronc went back to Oz, Newton got banned, our squad was decimated.

The following year we went into administration and our players were cherry picked and the season was over before it began.

Along came Andrew Glover and a 3 year license, just need to get that stadium now and a decent team together and I will be happy.

Spoiled for choice on this topic. 1997 and administration was bad, Tim Wilby sniffing around the administrators trying to buy the club with the sole purpose of closing us down.

It was a long, slow road to recovery, so anyone moaning about Sandercock either wasn't around at the time, or has conveiniently forgot how bad those times were.

The 2010 CC Final. I'd seen Leeds lose CC finals before in 2000, 2003 and 2005 and a Grand Final in 2005 too, but the way we got hammered in that one hurt, especially as it was my first time at Wembley. We lost the next year to Wigan too but i was strangely able to walk away from Wembley feeling ok about it because the team had gone down with a fight instead of the wimper it showed against Warrington.

Watching Brad Hepi and Jim Leatham attack a young lad on Hull's marina for having the audacity of bumping into them and listening to Phil Sigsworths explanation of why some players couldn't play but why Paul Sterling did.

And been to young to think I couldn't correct them.

November 1999, hearing that David Lloyd was prepared to close down Hull FC.

Trouble is I worry that the current low could get lower still!

One of the lowest was when Hull gave Agar a two year extention on April fools day a few seasons ago, knowing what we had to go through, after the boredom we had suffered.

I would say 2007 was far worse than what we're experiencing now. Back then the only two bids on the table were a couple of local businessmen who really didn't have anywhere near enough money to put us anywhere close to where we are now. There was no doubting that we would have survived but we'd be in Championship 1 right now and not necessarily having it all our own way down there in front of 1500 fans.
Nobody expected a third bid and when it did come in not many knew the sort of investment capability that SOC had.

This years been dump, but there have been good times and I'd rather be here than in the Championship. The only point I'd be completely gutted about this year is if we're three years down the line and nothing has been attempted to solve the performance problems. Until then I'll hope that we make a good decision some point soon regarding the coach.

There are two that stick in my mind.... hearing that we had been rejected in 2008. I genuinely thought that the RFL would use licencing as a vehicle to get more expansion sides into SL and I think (from a personal point of view) we've been fairly fortunate that Toulouse, Barrow and Crusaders couldn't get their acts together.
And genuinely.... hearing Betts was going to be appointed as our SL coach. He obviously wasn't up to the job in the Championship and we were being linked with some decent names. Then to hear he had been given a new 2 year contract and realising that our first year back in SL was going to be a damp squib left me pretty angry for more than a few days.

no bottle that bloke

Mine have been many, but losing to Donny (mid 80's) in the JP was a low point, I was working in London and got the train up for the day, losing a days 'double' pay and the cost of the trip.

Millward leaving, Rowley being put in charge.

Pretty much covers it, although that bloody drop goal against Dewsbury (IIRC) in the playoff finals was pretty dishearteninng too.

The 9 days that was Leeds away 70-0 followed by 75-0 at saints enough said.

Challenge Cup Final in 1989,worst sporting day of my life.

Halifax 2003.

Beat London Broncos away in the first match.
Lost every match thereafter.
And then had those 2 London points taken off us for salary cap infringements.

It was like eating a turd cake, with turd icing and then eating a turd on top.
