I remember the FA Cup replay against Orient being abandoned at the County Ground because of a frozen pitch. Can't remember how much of the game had been played but I thought that the re-arranged game was not full price. Might be wrong though, was a while ago

If that was the January one in the early 90s? - Just after half time - Was NOT full price for the re-arrangement - Probably only needed 1 bobby to police the crowd! |

That was the one, it was Jan 1991. The irony was that at the original game at Orient it absolutely pissed it down just before kick off & we were on the open end trying to find some cover |

Yeah I forgot that game, the replay was played 2 days before the birth of my 1st son on 23rd Jan 91, I am pretty sure the replayed game was half ticket price. |

I'm still bitter about it. "The referee is jus checking the pitch as a precaution, there is no danger the game will be called off"... I'm also still not fully defrosted either! I do remember being surprised we had to pay anything to get in to the re-arrangement. But I can't remember what % of the original ticket it was. |

The first game at home should never have started, the pitch in front of the Shrivvy Road was still frozen at kick off. I too was pissed off & refused to buy a ticket to the replayed game (except someone else bought me one so I went anyway) |

Are we really comparing this to games that were played 25 years ago?
Let it go people, let it go.

No I won't & don't you tell me what to do. I demand a full refund of my season ticket as well as free champagne at my seat in every future match. If not, I shall expose Mr Power as the cad he is |

Oh, shit, 25 years. Thanks maths boy. 1991 is still only a few years ago in my head, 10 at most. At least it was. You were 5 then weren't you? Jeez. |

You seem quite uptight about this considering you didn't go to the game in the first place...

I seem to remember someone, possibly Kevin Nugent ending up in PMH, after he sort of landed head first, which may have decided the ref it was dangerous  |

I think that sounds like something you would like to organise Reg, very distinguished, like yourself  Maybe I could get Nigella Lawson to enter   |
