tannerall 25,935 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 A lot of us will have memories from the sixties and seventies of the tims streaming out of the old Ibrox and Hampden games early, well beaten, and the rain streaming down on them to add to their misery, as the Gers fans sang "Go Home Ya H***" (Yep that was originally our song, just another they stole from someone else, just like YNWA). Anyone got other memories of games played in torrential downpours ? Days when if your team won the toss, they'd choose to play with the tide ? Here's Blackpool trooping off the pitch after a battle in the mud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 In one of my old football DVDs, think it was Own Goals and Gaffes, there was a clip from a Brazil game played around 2000 and the pitch was basically a river but the ref didn't call it off until the 89th minute Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was probably one of the September weekends when traditionally lost of Glaswegians in particular used to take the trip down to Blackpool for the traditional weekend and Monday break and it usually chucked it down.

harlands plater 16,962 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I remember the epic 4-4 draw with the tarriers at Ibrox being played in a downpour. I was at the front of the Enclosure and got soaked through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom0411 1,226 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The night we played Borrusia Munchengladbach and beat them 8 - 0 on the 30th November 1960 was played in a downpour. I wore a brand new coat that night and by the end of the game it was ruined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
