The Derby at Anfield in 1996 was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch less than an hour before kick off.

It’s a good job for us it was only over the park.

Not much of a distance across Stanley Park luckily, but still frustrating especially a Derby game!

We drew the rearranged game. The Everton mascot was a familiar face.

Great Photo that! 👏

Went to watch sunderland play shamrock rovers in a pre season friendly in Dublin and that got called off about an hour before kick off which was slightly frustrating seen as middle of summer. Good trip though.

Waterlogged Pitch ?

svensafc.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yeah. Really heavy rain for an hour or two and just waterlogged everything. Weather was nuts.

I took my Vespa from London to see Palace play away at Southampton. Arrived cold and soaked only to find out the game had been called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Another cold and wet journey home. Took the car to the rearranged game.

Great story! Love that.. Did they win ?

tc-olop.bsky.social•101 days ago

I doubt it but can't remember. I usually remember the wins!

Drove down to Plymouth from south London on a Friday night. Called off because of a frozen pitch on the Saturday morning.

footballawaydays.bsky.social•101 days ago

Nightmare Tom! On the plus side you got out of Plymouth quicker than you thought! 😜

not an away game but a home game called off on the opening day of the season in 1988.

Flew from London to Glasgow for Dundee United away to Partick Thistle. Found out game was off on touching down so spent the day on a pub crawl in the west end of Glasgow before flying back at night 🙃😂

Some trip that! Every cloud and all that though in the end.. lol 😂

Opening day of the season v Colchester..pitch waterlogged..called off just before 2pm...hate going there!

jazhowe1968.bsky.social•101 days ago

I once went 95% of the way to Southampton (from Sheffield lol) to find out the pitch was water logged and game very much off 😅

footballawaydays.bsky.social•101 days ago

That’s some distance and no doubt very frustrating!

It was my chance to visit the Dell as well. They moved shortly after
