Quoted from MrThirsty
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!


I was there that day we had no ideal we had scored would not have continued today

Not an abandoned as such but drove to Millwall for the FA cup match in 1982. When we got there it was there sodomist all going on but we were too scared to get of the car and ask anyone on the Old Kent Road to ask what was happening. By the time we found out it had been called off it was too late to get to any other London matches that were on that day.
Didn’t go to the rearranged match and we won 6-1.

Sunderland home was on live TV abandoned after about 5 mins I think waterlogged pitch 0-0. Can't for life of me remember when but would guess during ITV digital era

Saturday March 18th 1972.
Town v Exeter City.
Match abandoned after 18 minutes due to fog.
I was in that crowd of 10965.
I THINK we were leading 1-0 at the time.
Daft thing was the fog lifted pretty much as soon as we left the ground as I recall. 😎

Haven't checked the dates, but I'm sure we arrived at I think Blackburn to find the game called off due to waterlogged pitch and the same at Wrexham away.

Also I thought a game at Swindon was called off just after getting there due to a frozen pitch but I could have dreamt that one.
