GAME OFF! (Crawley Away)

[Filo]

I’m surprised Charlton haven’t had their swimming pool open today

[Campsall rover]

Gate at Gillingham today 2.003  surely that can’t be right can it?

Was the weather that bad down there that no one turned up?

They ave about 4.500 I think this season so that seems exceptionally low especially as they have new owners now to give them some hope.

Fair chance the gate was lowered by the entire away support being blown into the Medway five minutes in.

Fair play to the pool supporters.
Long trek on a pretty grim day weather wise.
And they have had the joy of that away end.

[Chris Black come back]

Five hours each way either by car or train. Ten hours in total. No goals.

Said 2003 on BBC sport web site. Obviously they miss printed the figure.

Hardy lot those Pools fans. Credit to them travelling all that way when they are 23rd in the league.

How far did everyone get ?

I predicted no further than Leicester F E but we were approaching Woodall Sercices 8 46 when we got to know so Coach turned round at next Junction

[roversdude]

Well I’m still in Dartford having planned a weekend down here

Pretty sure that they put the Poolies in the side stand today under cover.

They will have done. Every time I've been there and the weather has been naff, they've closed the scaffold end.

There was one game some years ago we played at Priestfield and it was very wet. The Stewards came round with those transparent mack’s or whatever you call them. They wouldn’t move us under cover
Same thing happened at the Withdean where Brighton played before the new stadium was opened. The whole ground was open of course.
Also happened at Saltergate one year

[Spilsby Red]

Remember Mansfield away. Torrential rain all game. Open terrace. Think we lost 4-0 but we sang well

If we are talking about the same game, I remember going there for FA Cup first round in November 1995 under Sammy Chung when we lost 4-2 and it absolutely pissed it down on that terrace from start to finish.
