Most liked posts in thread: City Matches Abandoned due to the weather in the past

I remember a match v Stockport in the fog that went ahead. One down with ten to play and won 5.1 that should have been abandoned as should Preston in the cup when cracker scored twice but no-one saw either

 

But did @Bronco 


Sorry pal

 

Neighbour of mine is 93, 85 years as a city fan.

 

?

 

Was there for that one, sheer joy amongst the fans for that one being called off.
The re-arranged game finished 1-1.
It was a long,long time ago.

 

Was on the Kop that game and the roof had been ripped off for the new stand but there was no loudspeaker system. No one had a clue what was going on in the kop until a few players who had come back out to warm down had told us.

not sure you could get away with that these days with no loudspeaker

 

You lot really have great memories...me, can't honestly remember our last home match (with fans)...

 

Trauma makes you want to forget.... and I feel sure the last home game with fans will have been a traumatic experience.

 

1988, we drew the replayed match 2.2

 

I only remember it happening because I was in hospital at the time.

 

Rochdale away in a pre season friendly last year was abandoned at HT because of torrential rain.

 

Plymouth, 2-1. They could have pinched a point with 9 men

 

Travelled up to the Swindon game from Cornwall where I lived at the time. The journey should have taken 4 Hours, but it was more like 7 in awful conditions. Arrived with 10 minutes to spare, so no pint or meal! Sat in the main stand and so had to pretend I was happy when we were stuffed.

When it was abandoned I couldn't see any players apart from winger and fullback, who both clearly had no idea what was happening. Did almost 11 hours driving to not see us play!

 

Went to both games, I think referee was David Elleray, I remember Stuart McCall kept walking past him with his hand above is eyes dropping not very subtle hints. I seem to remember Chris Kamara in the stand (probably suspended) getting abused by City fans.

 

Really enjoying this banter.

But is anybody starting match thread for Saturday? Or has it already been postponed/ likely be abandoned - frozen pitch (won't get above -2 degrees before the game and -4 during the night, according to the BBC). Hope covers are going on?

 

Believe it or not but we have posters on here even older than me .

 

Can anyone remember the season when a home match against Bristol City was abandoned at half-time due to a waterlogged pitch?
It's really annoying me that I've forgotten which year because it was a horrible day. I got back to my car to find it had been broken into and the radio stolen.

 

Didn't efinho score that day?
