The fog was at their place and we were 3 0 up after 73 mins when it was abandoned the 2nd attempt may have been the xmas eve game I know we were 2 0 up on 90 mins then they got a penalty and equalised. We eventually beat them at Springy in the replay 1 0. I think Tommy also scored a corker at Northwich in the abandoned game.

It was unreal that match at Northwich, it was like the film 'The Fog'.

I remember one of those matches being a bit tetchy on the terraces.
Didn't a copper hit the front pages on of the Sunday newspapers with a dart in the side of his nose.

Yes he did that was the abandoned game as well. Tetchy I would say is a little weak to describe it lol.

Didn't a load of Latics fans climb out of the ground and run round to the home end for a scrap then ran back to the away end after taking their end over?
 
Worst away game was the Wrexham FA cup game. Boy did it kick off. I was only little and a big Welshman picked me up and threw me onto the pitch to escape the battling. Dopey prick nearly broke my feckin neck trying to keep me from harm lol.

It Bloody was !……goalless up to 75 minutes and we’d had the best of it* and then one went in and we collapsed.

* “They have a beer in Wigan called “Oh be Joyful“ and Wigan Athletic deserved to be drinking it last night but …..”

so ran the match report in one of the Sunday papers …..I remember that beer brand, often referred to as “OBJ”….not that I supped any, I was about 13 at the time 😠
