It might improve it.Hehe...wind or not its the same!!!!!!
That was the day (We) Nothe8502 FC played against a Plymouth supporters team...bitterly cold day, played on astroturf and then frozen hands on the barriers at Home Park....but a great win of Mcelhattons knee I think!The Plymouth away game in the first Great Escape Season was interesting.
AFCB played with the wind in the first half, peppered their goal with shots, and finally scored in time added on at the end of the half, through Michael Mcelhatton.
How our defence survived the onslaught in the second half I still don't know!
I remember Ian Andrews making a brilliant save in the final seconds - and I think he hadn't trained that week because of the flu! Brilliant 1-0 away win!
I was there...game did go ahead without the Main Stand being used. Chicken George Lawrence ran Swindon ragged.....Honestly!!!!I once drove all the way to Swindon only to find that the game had been cancelled due to high winds. Apparently - this is true - they thought that the main stand might blow down. Must have been late 80s/early 90s ?
At the end it just goes to prove that our sprinklers are tinpot!!!!!I enjoyed this video with strange weather conditions.
Didn't we have a another match of a similar nature against Plymouth at Dean Court? I think it was the year they were promoted and I think it was on a boxing day. The wind caught the shot the ball blew back to Plymouth and they scored, having a senior moment here.The Plymouth away game in the first Great Escape Season was interesting.

I'm exactly the same. Remember the weather being an absolute shocker but not much else apart from it being Plymouth.Didn't we have a another match of a similar nature against Plymouth at Dean Court?

Sorry you must be confusing it with another.I was there...game did go ahead without the Main Stand being used. Chicken George Lawrence ran Swindon ragged.....Honestly!!!!
Thanks Jim. It's all coming back to me now. Yes Mossy in goal but as you say not really at fault.Boxing Day 2003.
Long range shot from Plymouth hit the bar, drifted slightly behind the line high in the air, came back in again, landed on the pitch a few feet from the goal line, and then bounced into the roof of the net as it had about 10,000 revs on it when it hit the ground!
Not a great moment for Neil Moss, but in hindsight you can't really blame him.
Very true....maybe the fluid intake prior to matches was our downfall!! Happy daysI remember playing at Plymouth on a sandy astroturf pitch, but can't remember anything about the game in the afternoon.
After a game I always was meticulous with plenty of "fluid repleneshment" so that could be why.
