2,700 attendance at that one!

Actually, not relevant, I misread the OP. Still an interesting read though.

Yep I went to that one too. Every game in a 25 mile radius of Wigan was called off but ours went ahead. Light covering of snow and frost descending made the pitch an ice rink but Lynch reffed it as if the pitch was pristine. Doesn't excuse the handbags in the incident where one from each side got their marching orders but as ours was Tillson you can be sure there wasn't much fighting. Two of the others were for tackles where the lad just kept sliding through because of the surface...Josh Low was a stick of a boy at the time and didn't have a dirty tackle in him but even he was dismissed by the joke ref. Beadle, playing centre half knew the rules about games being abandoned if five from one side were sent off and lashed the ball out the ground at every decision hoping he'd get a second yellow for kicking the ball away...however, at seven players to ten Lynch suddenly halted play and ran down the tunnel...we all reckoned he had gone to check the ruling for he blatantly refused to send another off even though there was more wrongdoing going on after the four reds than before. I recall we had a home game with Grimsby next and lost four nil due in part to the suspensions and then went to Luton with some of the four suspended back in and scored four in the first half. 

Istr Geoff Dunford criticised the ref in the press rather harshly, and had to face a disciplinary panel. But they let him off completely, effectively agreeing with him that the ref was being a knob.

I remember the talk at the time was that we engineered it so he couldn't reach a number of appearances that would trigger the extension of his contract. 

More like the most empty red seats!
