Haven’t just got back, but only just dried out.

Last time I was that wet was Bournemouth away on a Tuesday night in 1989/90 season I think. Got so wet on the away end open terrace that the club allowed Town fans into the main stand in the 2nd half.

Lost that bloody night as well

Onwards and upwards as it’s a long season and will be a battle

Seem to remember that happening too at Reading round about that period Poacher.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That was on Boxing Day. It hammered it down in the first half and the couple of hundred or so Town fans were drenched.

A nice kindly steward wanted to put us all undercover for the 2nd half but some old git of a Reading fan who was already sat there complained and we had to stay out in the open for the whole game. We lost that day too. Seems like we never win away games when it's pissing it down. I can remember us losing 6-0 at Luton too in the early 80's when there was a rainstorm.

Did he nut him? Or did they just come head to head?


I wasn't there but listened on the radio and the commentator said they came together in a fairly meaty challenge that appeared to be 50/50. Efete took umbrage and they went head to head (literally). If it had finished there they would probably have both been booked and that would have been the end of it. But Efete then moved his head in a forward motion. The Bromley player went down (sensing the opportunity?) and the ref had little or no option but to send Efete off.

Not my assessment, what I heard on the radio.

Oxford away at the old ground. Must have been early in the season because a lot of people were in shirts. It lashed down and we all crammed in the toilets to get away from it at half time.

But the worst I was at was Barnsley away on Boxing Day around 91/2/3. We had the open end at Oakwell and it poured down. It was also cold.

Town got hammered because Crofty had had a Chritmas Eve party and they were all still getting over it (we discovered later).

Car ran out of petrol on the way home.

I'll answer my own question there. Away at Plymouth 1992 I think. Late on in the season, we won 2-1 and the 100 or so Town fans doing the conga singing "Singing In The Rain'". Super Clive and a rare Mark Lever goal.

Macclesfield on Boxing Day a few years ago whether was atrocious and I think we won 1 - 0, more snow than rain if I’m being honest.

Scunny at The Old Show Ground in about 1853. We were covered though. Don't remember much about the match but remember the rain and the horrible atmosphere inside and outside the ground. Town fans knocked a garden wall over to provide ammunition as we left the ground.

I do not miss those days.
