It's a week of long away trips in the Championship...

• Leeds went 260 miles to Brighton on Monday and were 4-0 down by half-time.
• Hull fans have gone about 140 miles to watch tonight's match at Birmingham.
• Wolves supporters have the prospect of a 175-mile journey to see their team at Middlesbrough tomorrow.

That got me thinking about nightmare away trips. We've all had them - cars breaking down en route, forgetting friends at service stations, your team being thrashed 6-0...

Get in touch with your tales of woe using #bbcfootball on Twitter. Hopefully you're able to laugh about them now...
