Racking my brains to think back to any other Tooting games that have been abandoned and I can only recall 2. We had a cup game against Wimbledon called off while we were winning 1-0 and eventually lost the replayed game on pens. The only other game that I can remember was away to Hayes when Cyrille Regis was in their team. I remember he came down with a bit of a bump on the rock hard icy pitch and the ref called it off. It was 0-0 at the time and the replay was also 0-0.
Any more?

I remember a game being abandoned back in the late 50’s, early 60’s at home to Walthamstow Avenue. I think it was at the tail end of the season when a huge rain storm caused a massive lake in front of the Sandy Lane stand. Perhaps Ian Bullock could enlighten us on this fact?

December 1975
FA Cup 2nd Round reply at home to Leatherhead
Tooting won the re-arranged game to earn the right to travel to Swindon for the 3rd Round

From Dave Irons :
Away to Abingdon in the. 90's Paul Loughline scored 2 screamers then broke his leg, that finished his career.
1-3 up and fog appeared. Game replayed, we lost. A few Terrors made day of it and went on a pub crawl through the Oxfordshire town where Bog End Tim was involved in his 1st ever chant.

There was a fog abandonment not long after kick off at an evening match at Hampton. Can't remember date or competition.

I remember struggling up to Hayes by bus, took nearly four hours with the Christmas traffic. Arrived at exactly 3:30, got settled behind the goal and two minutes later it was called off!
