| help to identify/confirm the date of a postponed game 14:04 - Jul 30 with 975 views | Nigeriamark |
I travelled to a dale home game against I think Newport or Plymouth which was postponed when I got there. It was already a rearranged game due to an earlier postponement because of bad weather. I think was rescheduled to when the 2nd or 3rd round FA cup weekend was due as both teams were knocked out and I think it would have been early December 1999 or 2000.
Can anyone confirm the exact details? |  | | |  |

Newport weren't in the league then.
We didn't have any rearranged games on FA Cup second or third round dates in either of those years.
1999 - first round was on Saturday 29th October, second round on Saturday 20th November, third round on Saturday 11th December
2000 - first round was on Saturday 18th November, second round on Saturday 9th December, third round on Saturday 6th January
The only possibility I can think of is the Plymouth league game being postponed on Saturday 25th November 2000, which was its originally scheduled date. It wasn't played until Tuesday 1st May. |  |

That will be the one ( Plymouth 2000). Did we actually play a game Dec 9th that year?
I was sure the rearranged game from November was slated for that weekend but then called off because of weather again. If we actually played someone on that day then I am clearly wrong | | | |

No, we didn't.
It might well have been called-off again on 9th December, but I can't find anything in the records. | |

I am sure it was. I was asked about the furthest I had travelled just to watch a game that was postponed. I was living in South India and had a free airflight that had to be used by the end of December. I decided to use it to watch a Dale game. I flew from Bangalore to Manchester via Bombay & London. My dad met me to say that the game was off and on the Sunday I flew back again. The fact I seemed to recall it was Plymouth ( or Newport!!) makes me think it had been scheduled. | | | |

Wow that's an incredible distance to travel in a 2-3 day period.
I was in Mangalore myself around that time. Small world |  | | |
