McShane in the 61st minute

I take it he's claiming the goal?

Joking aside I don't think I've ever seen worse conditions from the brief highlights on the C'ship. How bad was it?

If i were you I'd be a little gutted that it wasn't abandoned allowing you the chance to get 3 pts in better conditions.

It was on;y minutes away from abandonment. Was like watching Its A Knock Out. Kept expecting Stuart Hall to rush out there.

It was quite funny in the second half when everyone was cheering the tackles that went in - the players were sliding for miles in a sea of water and mud!!

'It's a Knockout' is spot on!!

 

[Ding Dong !]

Made me want to run on the pitch and join in with the mud bath....at least i'd have kept warm running around rather that sitting in the stand freezing my knackers off !!

 

[McShane79]

Was praying we would score and they would do a Klinsmann through the mud!!

I started quacking in the second half

It was as bad as the Southend game on new years day 2001.

After that game, we abandoned the next 6 home fixtures to have the pitch taken up and completely re-laid.

It didn't matter what wet weather gear you had on, water was seeping through everywhere.

I got back to Newbury about 8 pm & I was still soaking wet !
