Oldham 1 Foxes 1, Saturday 18 October 2008
I was visiting my parents and we had gone out for the day. What I hadn’t planned for was the lack of a mobile phone signal in deepest Hampshire. Disaster. Luckily, everyone was beginning to feel tired after all the walking so we headed back to the car at about the time the second half kicked off. I then listened avidly, to the exclusion of any conversation, for news from Boundary Park on Radio 5.
I had to endure commentry from some premier league game, and news from everywhere but Oldham. And then just two brief reports. One when we took the lead, and one when they equalised. I guess a point is bad from one of the coldest grounds in Europe.
