Are you sure that it was a Wednesday match?
We travelled up on the supporters' bus and it was flagged down by the team bus, somewhere up in Cumbria.
David Topliss came onto our coach and said that the game was off. He said the team had done their 'loosen up' and gone back into the dressing room, whilst our Aussie half back, (Helliwell I think) stopped out to practice his kicking. He went and found the rest of the team and said that the water on the pitch was over his boots. As he was the team joker, he wasn't believed until a Whitehaven official followed him into the room and confirmed it.
Definitely an evening game as we arrived towards the ground as we were told the game had been postponed it was on the radio John Dunn radio 2 , 6-45 sports news said the game had been postponed. Spent an hour in the Wordsworth Arms in Cockermouth, then fish and chips then home.
