Away at Darlington, just arriving at Darlington to see the team bus heading back down the A1 as they had not put covers on and ground was frozen


That puts a whole different subject matter up for discussion!! Cancelled away games...

Bristol City away in 1981-called off as we got to the car park outside Ashton Gate (The game was played on the Tuesday in worse conditions!)

Rochdale away circa 2006/07(?) abandoned at half time on New Years Day..

Barnet around 2009 called off when we got to the Barnet turn off on the A1


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Luckily or unluckily lol. This was the only casualty that's happened to me. In this day in age now though situations like this should not happen now.

I was already at Barnet,So went to Japanese Koi at Henlow spent £200.00 on a Showa that my missus took a shine to.Still got it (the Showa not the wife).


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

I can handle any bad away day as a football league team.  Being in this league and going to places like Hayes, Histon and Chasetown is difficult.


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.

The 70 min spanking at Hartlepool was so far bad it came out the other side and was quite funny by the end.... so for me....

Chasetown.....i thought the club had hit an all time low before that day.....to arrive in a non descript midlands unheard of dead end town...where the locals weren't even interested in their local team.....walking into the ground and seeing  Lee Peacock, Peter Bore et all warming up on a patch of grass behind a burger van.....and then lose.....WTF !?!?!

I can only wonder how the hell I stayed for the full 90 minutes, must have been so I could vent my frustrations towards the players and hurst. Forgot all about the M62 being shut too. We got redirected through a farmers field down a dirt track by the police only to be left to find our own way back to the motorway  from the middle of nowhere!
