Anyone care to list them? Remember a snowbound when there wasn't any snow Riverside game cancelled and the ill fated Blackburn game but I'msure there must be many more?
Over to Erimus. ...
 
Snow bound Riverside was game v Newcastle, wasn't it? We had a Christmas time game called off at the Riverside too - I had to put a label over the fanzines and sell them for a different game. Famously Boro v Preston - Jack v Bobby Charlton for which a TV documentary was filmed in the lead up and then the pitch was declared unplayable - not the finale intended.
 
Yes the snow one was against Newcastle, think the pitch was OK butility the roads and paths were the issue, think we wanted the game postponed though
 
Also another game at Ewood against Blackburn - this time a waterlogged pitch and called off when we were already there.

I can also recall being in Ipswich a few seasons ago and they called off the game an hour before kick off dues to icy conditions outside the stadium!

Thought the snow one was against Coventry? We ‘forgot’ to put the bubble on the pitch (remember the bubble?). Strachan was kicking off about.
Was at Ayresome Park when a game v Barnsley was called off with a frozen pitch at half-time, 1-0 up as well (Jaime Moreno, I think). Drew the replay but we’re still promoted.
 
I remember arriving in an empty car park outside Oldhams ground to be told the match had been postponed. (Waterlogged pitch) Had a pint in the nearest pub and then drove home. Can’t remember the year.
