    ..when there was just one bloke stood on the away end behind the goal?

    It was pelting it down and we didn't know whether to praise him or taunt him.

    To his credit he stayed there minute after minute...

    My dad kept a picture from a sunday newspaper back in the 60s of the away end with 4 people on it including the goalkeeper a policeman, my dad and his mate. Don't know what happened to it.

    Cambridge. Match was abandoned due to pitch becoming a swimming pool. "Who's the wnaker on the kop."

    Don't know that one, but I do remember getting p1ssed wet through away at Portsmouth early 90s. Rain was coming down sideways, straight into the kop behind the away goal. No roof in them days. Lost 0-3 en'all, what a day that was....

    I think might have been 27th Dec 1994! We'd beaten Grimsby 4-1 at home the previous day, Payton Hat Trick, in one of our finest performances for years, and then had to travel to play Portsmouth 24 hours later. Gerry Creaney scored all three of their goals in the first half hour or so, we had Taggart carried off and, as you say, it rained p!55istently all day.

    It was quicker than half an hour. I missed all three of their goals. I just saw a 0-0 draw. Played in a bog. On the plus side, I was in the stand so didn't get wet.

    Got piss wet through at Brammall Lane sat behind the goal on the third row with no cover. I say sat but every single person in that stand was stood up the entire match because they didn't want to sit in a puddle all game. Never been as drenched at a game.

    That's the one mate. I'd forgot we played the day before on Boxing Day :) I think it took me about a week to dry out after that game :)

    Don’t know if it’s the same game but we played Brighton at home and I seem to recollect. I Met the only 2 blokes who turned up.
