Swindon v Brighton (abandoned)

[Cadiz Seagull]

My memory must be going. Or maybe i persuaded my self it was a good story that we got out of jail then won the replay.

Can't merge this with the nostalgia thread but this has to be THE best ever abandonment. 4-0 down with about 15 minutes to go and the ref blows his whistle long and hard. We thought he was ending someone off when the first player headed to tunnel. We were baited by Swindon fans and then we turned it on them. The 100 or so of us went absolutely ballistic.

I was there. And the replay that we lost anyway.

Were we playing against the mighty Ray McHale? No wonder we lost.

And Don Rogers if my memory serves me right.

There was a lot longer than 15 mins to go or the score would have stood. I thought that it was about the 60th minute. Not sure but thought the cut off time for the score to stand was about 63rd minute (1/2 way through 2nd half)

Not sure eight minutes is a 'lot longer' - it was abandoned in 67th minute.
