I didn't go to that match. I remember it because I was cleaning the car when the score came through on the radio. I thought I'd mis-heard and had to double-check on the 5 O'clock results.

I did go to a few games at Gresty Road, though. I remember one particular occasion ('75?) when, due to fog, you could just about see each goal from the centre, but absolutely no chance from goal to goal. The crowd had to verbally relay a goal and the scorer to the opposite end! The match should really have been called off.
