Game off !!

Remember a Tuesday night game at Hartlepool that would've been better played in a swamp!
Futcher nearly scored from the halfway line but the ball got stuck in the paddling pool in the goalmouth

Quoted from Southwark Mariner

it's better than half way through a match and the floodlights failing...unless it's foggy and you're losing

I was at both of them as well. Must be me

Remember going Rochdale and getting abandoned at half time due to waterlogged pitch. Next time I went turned up at Rochdale only for game to have been called off. I vowed never to go to Rochdale to watch Town again! After a few seasons down here I would actually love to go watch Town at Rochdale again!

I went down to both Millwall away in the Cup (where we won the re-arranged tie 6-1) and Bristol City in the league about the same sort of time (81?? ) where both games were called off last minute yet local to the professional football clubs' grounds, everyone else managed a game when ours were off

You do sometimes wonder what the criteria are for games being allowed to proceed and others being called off but we have to deal with it...the adjudicators decision is final and all that  

Sometimes it happens...I think with us on Saturday it was just the frustration of not being able to play the game when we are on a bit of a roll and there was some long overdue positivity starting to develop

Remember the Bristol game. We'd just pulled into the car park at 1:30 as they called the game off. It was played the following Tuesday in conditions at least as bad...thought we'd had it rough until we met some Blades fans in the service station on the M5 who'd got to within 30 miles of Plymouth before their game was called off!

Quoted from Teesknees

Yes I agree we must have someone to fcking blame musn't we! Alot of people on this site sit on their ars es at home critizing anything and everything... they need to
fooking get out more!

It's so easy to critize other people from afar when they've no real idea what's involved and how much effort and dedication goes into running a club ..."Oh why wasn;t it called off earlier, I could have stayed at home, had another wa nk and watched Jeremy Kyle if I'd known!" ....

It won't be long before people are putting in a claim for emotional distress when a match gets cancelled!

" I don't like Paul Hurst's interview techinque.. can I have my money back!"

This country's getting more like the USA everyday ffs!

Plastic sheeting for fck sake!

An while I'm at it that Bruce Springsteen bloke can fck off back to the USA!

I think he must have gone back to the USA, he hasn't been on for a while,   Oh wait !  it' could be because we havn't lost for a while.

Went to this game and my mate who was studying up in New a style at the time used the Telewag I'd brought for him as a hood. He didn't half look a twit on the train back with his face heavily streaked with newsprint.

I remember being there when it was called off at half-time, not sure if it was that game or the re-arranged game where there was a blizzard.

I remember a Friday night game at Colchester years ago that was called off just as we were parking up. I think we won the game 1-0 when it was finally played with Big Keef getting the goal.

In the seventies Peter Sheffield decided they were not going to run any coaches to Town matches after damage to their coaches.
I know the guy who decided he would get round this by hiring them from Scunthorpe. He realised that they always sent a 53 seater no matter what size coach was ordered. So he used to give the fans a price which was based on a 29 seater and tell them to turn up at  Brighowgate.
On one occasion going to Crewe if I remember right over 60 people turned up and the driver was happy to let them on and sit 3 to a seat.
The journey was horrendous going through heavy snow and we had no idea whether the game was still on. We got there just before kick off to be told game off lads. We turned back through the snow again back home, I do know though the guy who run it made a hefty profit for his efforts.
