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'.


Mr Fenty's exact words to the referee as quoted by the Tellywag.

I was at the FGR Tuesday night game. I got stuck on the m5 and arrived 5 minutes after kick off for it to be abandoned at half time!

Also remember many years ago Darlington away. It was called off on our way but we didn't know until we arrived. So we went in for a drink at the ground and ended up being taken around by a board of director. We met the players in the changing rooms, toured the stadium and then to top it off they offered us to sit in a box for the replay. I think the replay ended 0 0

Exeter home April 72, fog
Can't remember what happened when it was re-played


I remember that it was glorious sunshine about ten minutes after the game was called off. Still, it made for an epic finale to a spectacular season. One of the truly legendary games.

This is the video of the game v Carlisle United; the rain was biblical.

Kirky sent me this to pass on:

Barralad is currently looking for abandoned games that have involved GTFC.  I think the most ironic one was Arsenal in early 1930-31 season.  Abandoned in the 62nd minute due to fog with Town 1-0 up.  When the game was replayed we lost 9-1 our record defeat!  Arsenal went on to be champions...  

When I was working at GTFC the Arsenal historian contacted me wanting to know our team/scorer for the 9-1 defeat.  He didn't know we had been winning the original game.  I can assure you I told him....

6th February 1960. Division 3 Tranmere away abandoned after 35 minutes. I think (?) we were 1-0 up when the fog/smog descended.
Replayed on 22nd February & of course we lost, 2 - 0.
