ThaiLatic Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Reading the post bellow about the possible postponement of tomorrow's match made me wonder how many abandoned games the Latics have been involved in. I was at Stoke in the late '70's when the FA Cup match was called off at half time and I seem to remember a LDV/ZDS (?) cup match against the same team suffered floodlight failure a few years ago. Have there been any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseyparadise Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Do you actually live in SriRacha? Boss little place if you do. Mainland Thailand isnt it? South of Samui and Phangan I think. Thailand - best country in the world!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yes I do live in SriRacha. However, I think that you're confusing it with somewhere else. It's a port just south of Chonburi on the eastern seaboard. It is a great place, though. And I agree with your general comment about Thailand.

I had a similar experience on a school trip to watch an England match in the late seventies. The match was called off with all the crowd standing outside Wembley. It was rescheduled for the following night and I had tickets to see The Damned. In the end I decided to travel to London again to watch the game - Hoddle's debut, if I remember correctly - and I met Matt Busby! Well, I've seen The Damned loads of times!!

Yeah, it was definitely Charlton. Was talking to a couple of their fans after it in the Old Grey Mare. Felt gutted for them. IIRC It was around 1995/96. The cup game against Barnsley rings a bell too, think that was also postponed close to kick off.

I often go up Knowles Lane to the back of the Pike and the Hartshead pub for meals. Hartshead Pike to me is like one of the wonders of the world. I look out for it like kids look for Blackpool Tower.

Diego_Sideburns Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 We had a night game against Bristol City (?) postponed due to a waterlogged pitch - it should have been on SkyTV. Went in the Clayton Arms for some potato pie and found out that some Shamrock Rovers fans were on their way from the ferry. Waited for them and had a great night. I advised them that they would not get into a night club wearing trainers. Not only that, but they were carrying a sports bag full of duty free alcohol, green hooped shirts and scaves and the SRFC Irish tricolour flag, which they had planned to show to the world on Sky. They got into the club no problem. On the way home we were diverted around Hadfield due to a flooded road. Another time a game was postponed due to fog. We drove onto the car park from Furtherwood Road, heard on Radio Latics that the game was off and drove out again onto Broadway to go the 70 miles back home. Kept the car park ticket and used it for the next home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiLatic Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Is Chonburi the port you get to Ko Chang by? Rings a bell No. Chonburi is a large city about an hour south east of BKK. Koh Chang is in Trat province in the south east of Thailand. Maybe you're thinking of Chanthaburi? Or there is a much smaller island called Koh Si Chang which is a 40 minute ferry ride from where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
