Official Match Thread Boston United vs Southend United ABANDONED DUE TO FOG

Forums New posts
Just got back. Half the journey home no idea what was in front. Cars front sensors had no idea either. Got to see six minutes although barely saw anything. Was amazed the ref started the game as it was ridiculous. I couldn’t see into the half we were attacking. By the time the ref called it off could just make out the far corner and far goal. It wouldn’t have been much fun and would have been a bit of a leveller so probably the best outcome. As the match started and I paid to get in I will count it.

Had a different sort of nightmare. Got on the M11 and got shafted from behind by a white van. Smashed the back of the car up and rear window missing. So had to turn around and come home. However I much would have rather made it there and had the disappointment rather than a smashed up car. Safe travels home and at least we might make it back for the rearranged game

I hope you are OK @shrimperjon

Only my second abandonment in 60+ years.
The other one was Aldershot with the failing floodlights.
 
Also just back, foggy most of the way home.
A thought from my son, if the forecast was Pooh, could the kick off time have been brought forward (or would that not fit in with Dazn schedule?

Wasn’t there tonight but sounded very similar to Bury away when the rain came rather than fog. One minute fine then completely flooded and streams running on the pitch within 5 mins. Lucky was living in Manc so not far to go home.
 
I managed late last night to get a live chat with DAZN and asked for a refund. Said they would look into whilst my chat was live. Given that I cannot get into dazn this morning without signing up again I presume refund is being done . Went through the help section on App if that helps anyone else.

True Fan like your self #shrimperjohn, should never have to endure anything like as you describe. Glad you are OK and get car sorted asap.
I have always respected and admired your true support for our team. 🥰
 
Stayed overnight at the Travelodge across the road. Ref could not have waited any longer for fog to clear last night as it is still foggy now this morning.
