Looking at the weather , and then thinking what was your worse experience in the crowdo on a bad weather day ??
Never even got to the Sheffield Wednesday game this season. Got off the bus from Barry by the lansdowne pub and within minutes was soaked through to the skin. Made my way to the Napier and saw the game on the T. V. Turns out half the pub had intended to go but had poked their head out of the door and thought nah.Quote:

Cardiff v Mansfield Fri night? 92/93 season foggy ++ won 3~2
Off course we can't include the biblical weather freak day away at Derby ,worse weather since the ice age that one
There was a game vs Forest ruined by the wind about 15 years ago. Ended 0-0, with the ball having been up in the air for most of the game. Warnock would have loved it
Oldham fa cup game , felt sorry for those oldham fans in the open grange end as it lashed down with torrential downpours all game , hailstones and even thunder and lightening
Shrewsbury at home was another bad one , ref should have called it off
Cardiff v Brentford in FA cup game played on the muddiest pitch I've ever seen and Cardiff lost (around 50 years ago).
Worst weather on the way to a game for me was what was going to be our first ever league game on a Sunday, against Millwall, nearly drowned walking down Ninian Park Rd, fans walking back informed us it’d been postponed. Horrendous day, no dissimilar to today.
I remember that game well, it was a terrible game, I was soaked through and freezing cold and to cap it all the roof of Queen St station was severely damaged closing the station and making getting home by train a nightmareQuote:

Not nice if you were one of the ones on the terraces, I had a seat in their family section as my lad was with me.
Oxford away open end pissed down all game stopped when the game ended
Thought I had posted this.....too many bad days to remember.......eg Ronnie Bird splashing through puddles at Ninian Park....often leaving the ball behind.....!!!
2-3. I recall.Quote:

The latter game you mention must have been the one where my father had to take me home at half time as my feet were so cold I was crying!!Quote:

Wasn’t it 0-2? There was a Weymouth FA Cup game that ended 2-3, I think, after being two up at half time.Quote:

That was Crystal Palace 10th Feb. 1974.Quote:

Yes, about then. Still shivering at the thought.Quote:

Was at that game too. I can remember Don Murray going on a sliding tackle and he threw up so much water that he seemed to disappear.Quote:

I think this was April 2006.our last game at Gresty Road. Finished 1-1.
It might have been an earlier game.
Anyway it was blowing a hooligan.
I recall the keepers taking goal kicks that almost reached the half way line only for the ball to float back and land in the goal area it had come from.
Anyone that went and was sober ( I know.... I know) will remember it.
I'm sure. The Boss Morris was there.
Certainly windiest game I went to.
Definitely 1971. I seem to recall the gates were open at half time thinking, as did everyone else, that the game would be abandoned but sadly not given the result.Quote:
