Walsall v Slumdon
called off at 6.45 tonight.
Fantastic - having negotiated what would have been a horrendous M42 at that time, the inbreds have to turn round and go back to their hovel.
Marvellous.

A good job that was not posted on here, as I understand the rules rightfully don’t allow such profanity.

I thought the game was called off an hour before the start?"recordmeister" wrote:This was called off after 23 mins! Brilliant!
Re:
Well it probably won't count because the clock hadn't started, but there was our game at Watford that was called off a minute before kick-off."Peña Oxford United" wrote:What is the swiftest weather-related abandonment that anybody can trace?

What interests me is games where conditions were deemed to be fit for play to start - and then rapidly ceasing to be so.

Re: Walsall v Slumdon
I'm sorry but he (if it is a he) just isn't right, I could understand if he was very young and had never been to a derby match but he appears to be of an age where he would have experienced a few. My first trip to the County Ground ended in a glorious 3 - 1 win but prior to the game Steve Daniels and I (yes the same Steve Daniels who takes the photos) were threatened in the ground by a bloke with a hammer who wanted to steal our scarves and the feelings all started from that point."Snake" wrote: According to an article in the latest OxVox ezine we shouldn’t hate Slumdon.

Everything about the place makes me want to hate it, crap parking, crap stand, even crapper stewards (remind me to tell you one day about the time I got thrown out before I even got in), crap fans who think they're hard but run when you say boo, crap crowd control - 2 years running we had to let ourselves out (by removing the gates from their hinges), crap terracing before the stands were put in (uprooted crash barrier anyone?), crap refereeing decisions (where else would a goal be allowed to stand while the goalie is blinded by a smoke bomb?) and worst of all crap results there year after year after year.
God I really hate them and I do stand up - in the SSL - on my own.
Hammer man never did get our scarves, he ran off when us skinny 17 year olds laughed at him and told him to fuck off.
And a crap roundabout.
EDIT - missed out a question mark - don't want the punctuation police onto me.
Re:
I think we can include the first Watford match in this category - because the referee was out there warming up alongside the players prior to kick-off, so the pitch must, at that point, still have been seen as acceptable for play. This was what threw me and those around me at the time - we could not understand how the match could have been called off when they had only just been out there warming up on a pitch where conditions - presumably, with hindsight - did actually deteriorate so swiftly."Peña Oxford United" wrote:Indeed."boris" wrote:Well it probably won't count because the clock hadn't started

A tie also memorable, of course, because the rearranged fixture only went ahead because there was an electrician amongst the Oxford fans who could fix Watford's knackered floodlights it was, as I recall, a match Matty Elliott was threatening not to play in because he wanted to be allowed to move to Leicester - oh, and after all that, we lost....
