Actually, Jim Brown confirmed its actually since 2002, not 1997 as he first thought. But still, the point stands

 

[SuperFred]

I'm sure the game after the rotherham one, against spurs in the cup, was called off as well. Although it is possible I just imagined that

I thought we had one called off for snow at the Ricoh due to conditions around the ground?

Nope .

Why does anybody care? Surely it's irrelevant if you don't go to Sixfields anyway?

You're right.

I couldn't give a rat's ass if every single game gets called off down at the landfill site.

Ok Ok I stand corrected..

Still wouldn't have happened at the ricoh and as far as I am concerned we could also have attracted more - better players if we still played there.

Paper states game 17 years ago was due to snow, but I'm sure it was fog. I remember it being called off half hour before kick off... Woking won the rematch :-(

Fair play, I was only jesting in a light hearted stylee.

I can remember going to a home match (I'm sure it was against Rotherham) a few years ago and Cov and Warks radio announced the game was off just as we were parking up. Andy Gorum was playing for us at the time and I started watching the darts on sky sports a few hours later and I swear to god he was sat in the crowd with a pint in front of him!

Didn't we win 2-1, Whelan scored.

I think you're right regarding Spurs. I seem to remember that Ernie and Willie were going to do the flick up & volley at half time in the original game.
