Abandoned games

[Pete’s Picture Palace]

Hi

Bradford City v Palace 24.10.98 - match abandoned after 45 minutes - waterlogged pitch. Score 1-1 at half time (Morrison for Palace, gate 15,157). It was rearranged for 19.1.1999 and City won 2-1 (Tuttle for Palace - gate 14,368).

Coventry v Palace 20.3.2004 - on that day Palace played at home to Norwich so I'm thinking for some reason Coventry couldn't fulfil that fixture on that date or it got rearranged as we played them away on Sunday 9th May. So definitely not abandoned but maybe postponed sufficiently early that the Norwich game could be fixed up. I really don't know I'm afraid.

Howard cannot access this site and has asked me to post the following on his behalf.

The Grimsby v Chesterfield match was on the date shown and was abandoned at half time due to torrential rain and waterlogged pitch. There is a report in the Newspaper Archive and the Sky is Blue (the Chesterfield Archive )confirms this.
The Coventry v Sheffield Weds match was on the 19th November and was abandoned after 63 mins due to fog and darkness. Report in various Sunday Papers.
If he requires any more info perhaps he would e mail me.
