I was at the match and we definitely tried to get it called off. Ref was laughing at our players instead of booking them. I think even with only 8 players and the score at 0-0 we hit the post.

I was at that game too and Lynch can make it funny now but he was a disgrace. There’s three of us travelling up in the car hearing how the conditions are getting worse all over the northwest, oh well we think we’ll get there hear it’s called off, grab a hot drink and head back. Sure enough we get to Wigan it’s zero degrees and snowing a bit and the ground is icing up, surprisingly the game is on when every other game in a fifty mile radius of Springfield Road is off. So the Kevin Lynch Pantomime on Ice begins. We had Perry playing who was always a walking red card at the best of times and Pritch was nicknamed a bull terrier because he went in hard when tackling but even so we thought the ref might allow for the conditions he’d made us play in and be lenient. Of course not, two sliding tackles and Pritch was off. Some Ill feeling crept in to the match because the rovers players felt the Wigan guy had made a meal of it and at a corner Perry lamped him one, got what he deserved back before Tillson broke it up, ref decided all three should go. Last one off was mild mannered Josh Low who completed a tackle but he and his opponent continued to slide uncontrollably into the advertising hoarding with a thump and the Wigan lad, probably winded, was slow to get up so Lynch decided to send another for an early bath. I’m not sure whether it was when we had 8 or 7 on the pitch when Penrice rattled the angle of post and bar but I know after Beadle (now playing Centre Half!) put in a forwards tackle and got booked, the referee paused the game and ran off the pitch presumably to check the rule book over how many cards for one side constituted a mandatory abandonment. Rovers definitely had twigged that they might be able to trigger it…at the next adverse decision Beadle didn’t just kick the ball away he booted it out the ground and didn’t even get a ticking off. The rest of the game was a bad tempered arse kicking contest! The miserable angry journey back was comparatively quick despite the snow flurries…it’s surprising how heavy your foot gets when the red mist descends.
