Game at pittodrie in the mid 80s.
Left muirton at 11am nice sunny day bus journey up to aberdeen,parked at the usual spot at the bottom o the hill. It was cold and crisp and we all walked over the hill past grave yard and down into the old away end(now rd stand).
Now if i remember correctly we were 3-0 down when it got very very dark and began to snow just before half time which ended at 3:45i sh, and by 3:55 ish the pitch was coverd in snow and it was blowing an allmighty blizzard (The 80s type!!).The ref came out and abandend the game, as the lines filled in as quick as they cleared them(saints fans still belting out tunes).
Just as the tanoy man said to leave the ground there was a power cut in the whole east side of aberdeen so 3or400 saints fans were lead out by the police and back up that hill.Well i kid you not i will never forget the rest as we all batteld our way in 6ft drifts to the bus which took nearly an hour to make it,s way up the hill to the outskirts of aberdeen.
We made it to around the high point south of stonehaven then got stuck in deep snow drifts,we were there for hours as power lines fell with blue flashes like lightening as they fell with the weight of snow. One side of the bus was coverd up to and over the tops of the windows it was so deep. Eventually as the whole bus kept warm with war like shareing of food and refreshments, snow ploughs and police got us and a number of cars and vans out.(We got out to help a car out of a ditch)
We got back to muirton around midnight and headed to the chippy to recall our story of the day.
