![]() Postponed matches in the English Premier League and FA Cup aren't that unusual, but consider for a moment just how many times the match between Lincoln City and Coventry City was postponed because of a bad winter in the season of 1962/63. Due to play each other on January 5, 1963, the fixture between Lincoln and Coventry was called off inclement weather and scheduled for a few days time. Then it was called off again. And again. And again. The fixture was called off a total of 15 times before a match was finally played—chalking up 66 days between the start of the "round" and the end of the "round." Coventry City eventually beat Lincoln City 5-1 on March 6.

good story. But actually, a Scottish match (can't remember teams off my head) was postponed even far more times!!! |
