As a 13-year-old boy I drove with my dad in the car to Liverpool. The funny part was that there was heavy fog all the way up to a couple of miles before Liverpool. Most of the time my dad was saying “with this fog the match will never go on,” but I was saying “come on dad, it my lift just further on.” Sure enough it did lift, so we got to the match on time, only to see Stanley losing the game by 2 goals in quick succession from the great Billy Liddell.
After the match, we heard however, that one coach from Accrington went to the wrong stadium! As Everton was playing the same day and same time, the supporters went to see the wrong match!
Anyone else with memories of this day?

Could be a clash this time but doubt it as clubs use the same parking etc so one will be on a different day and 12.30pm Sat looks fave for us.
With the grounds so close it wouldn't have been a problem though.
