Darlington & Snow - 88 or 89 maybe?

Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:06 am

Last time I can remember going to a game that was called off due to snow, was at Darlington - maybe '88 or '89.

Even though there was 2 inches of the stuff covering the whole of the North, game was on until it got called off at 2 o clock, as informed by a smiling Saint & Greavesy.

As pub was by the station, we dived on the train and manged to get in to see Newcastle v Spurs (Waddle, Gasgoigne, Mirandinha on show).

Must have been a few City who did the same that day?

Fa cup gillingham,in a pub at gills when game called off.

Ended up at orient v west brom ........not for long ,
Cardiff fans invaded the pitch fightng with orient in there stand then got thrown in with west brom old bill thought we where baggies .....wrong

20mins in total back on the tube to paddington.

Another one outside the reebok when game called off because fatsam watered the pitch .
Couple of beers in ross on the way home saved the day.
