Hi

Just come across your excellent website.

I've lived abroad for years now, following my team took me to Finland...and I'm still here.

I love football stats. I research all sorts of stuff. My way of keeping in touch with the game I love. Finnish football is pretty poor but good for a laugh:)

Anyway, to my point. I've been looking into abandoned games. Back to WWII in the first instance then back to the beginning of time if possible. I've noticed while looking through many fan sites etc, that most don't mention abandoned games.

So far, I have found 6 Exeter City games, listed below. Do you have any information on any others? I'm guessing there will be one or two more. I must stress, I'm after abandoned games, so the game has to have actually kicked off...as opposed to a postponed game.

If you can help, great. If not, absolutely no problem, I shall continue my search!
