    Shit happens were here and not that pissed off really, Jimmy Armfield bits were good, kids now in the arcades and fish & chips on its way to the pub were in, The Buckaneer. The football usually ruins a good day out anyway

    Was going then realised it would probably be called off, so changed my mind.... What about fulham new years day i think in the mid to late 70's. I am sure the game got called off just as our coach pulled up at the ground.

    Anyone remember port vale away in the 70s.
    Almost reached the ground before game was called off.
    Quite an eventful afternoon.

    That was late 80's wasn't it ? (unless it also happened in the 70's).
    Or did the 80's game go ahead in monsoon conditions ? I remember going to the pub by the ground, but can't remember if a game broke out :smile:

    I was at the Port Vale postponed game in the 70s & also arriving at Bolton to find it was off (late sixties I think).

    Not complicated. I know someone who knows the Oystons. I'd like to think I have higher morals than to take a freebie but I don't get to see CAFC often and they have heated seats!

    Desperately trying to schedule a client meeting in Manchester for Tuesday so that I have a reason to be up North and can get most of the train fare on expenses...

    Will either stay in Blackpool or in Manchester as have to go back via Manc

    Might reconsider if Peterborough beat us :)
