Heavy snowfall is predicted in Oxford from 8.00pm to 11.00pm. This could be fun! When was the last time we had a home game abandoned? I can't remember any.

probably not the last time a home game was called off, nonetheless very very annoying was a boxingday home match a few seasons ago which was called off by the match official around 1.45pm , due a sliver of the pitch near the dugouts being apparently frozenHeavy snowfall is predicted in Oxford from 8.00pm to 11.00pm.

Rushden and Diamonds
The away game a few days later was called off as well
The away game was a bloody nightmare. Got there at 1. Was sat in a pub three pints in and at 2pm it got called off!
Woking in the conference wasn't it? Was in the bar with dad when it was called off, nothing else for it, we ordered another pitcher...probably not the last time a home game was called off, nonetheless very very annoying was a boxingday home match a few seasons ago which was called off by the match official around 1.45pm , due a sliver of the pitch near the dugouts being apparently frozen
there had been a big build up n hype in the run in to the game, high sales of advance tickets ..... from a personal perspective, a lot of family members/ exiled U's fans were back in the motherland for that one...only to find, on a decent December afternoon, the matchday referee called it off 1.15 hr before kick off
Bristol Rivers away was abandoned back in the early 80's just at the start of thecsecind half due to a waterlogged pitch.There have been plenty of games that have been postponed on the day (another that wasn't mention was Forest away in the FA Cup) but my question was - have we ever played a game at home that was abandoned? I have watching the U's since the late 60's but can't recall this ever happening. Away from Oxford, I remember watching us playing on a lake in Cambridge and in a snowstorm at Goodison Park but both games were concluded. I think there was a game that was abandoned at half time at Mansfield but I don't recall this ever happening in a home game.

What a day that was, my now ex Mrs phoned me 56 times to tell me how much of an a*****e I was, oh happy days.Kidderminster in the Conference for a 3pm Kick off. Snow. Coach got back at midnight.
We had a Boxing Day game cancelled just before kick off a few seasons ago if I remember correctly. Feel like it was against Burton or someone like that.
