Picture the scene.
You’ve battled the traffic, found your way to the ground, got through the turnstile queues and taken your seat for your team’s action.
And then, after three minutes, the game is called off and it’s immediately time to go home.
That’s exactly what happened during Swindon Town’s League Two game with Crewe Alexandra on Saturday when the thick fog meant that the players could not see each other.
“You can barely see anything.”

And while fans would’ve obviously been disappointed, there was very little point playing a match when they couldn’t see the action from the stands.
Spare a thought for the Crewe fans too, who had made the 131-mile journey to see their side.
Time to hit the pub?
