Thanks mate. This is the game when I thought we were playing Kidderminster! R and D were managed by the late Justin Edinburgh who from memory was a distinctly unhappy bunny when the ref. abandonef the game. Played 15 March 2011. R and D were leading 2-1 when John Fenty came on the pitch and "demanded" the ref abandon the game because the fog was ruining it as a spectacle for the fans. A view entirely unlinked to the fact we were losing 2-1 and down to 10 men.


Alan Connell also fuming, as his goal never happened.

Rochdale away was Jan 1 05, abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch at Half Time. Pretty sure score was 0-0.

That was my first ever game!


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby

Rushden V Grimsby - is the word 'spectacle' yours or JSF's?  

I wasn't there but I suspect the fog improved it as a 'spectacle'.

Only one of the Mariners' greatest days ever. A 3-0 win with over 22000 fans cheering us on to the title ( old division 4). Tees , Hickman, Chatterley scorers

I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in that game, we moved seats a good 10 times and still couldn't see a thing.

A game I thought would be abandoned was Wrexham away in the early 80s. The game started in misty conditions and got progressively worse. We were behind the goal and eventually couldn’t see the goal we were attacking in the second half. We only knew we had scored a second goal was when the player returned to restart the game at halfway. Apparently if the ref stood on the centre spot and could see both goals it was deemed fit to play.

As we won 2-nil we were happy enough but I’m sure we wouldn’t have been if we’d lost!
