Picking up on a posting elsewhere, how many abandoned games have you attended.
I can only think of three.
Nott'm Forest V West Brom (fog)
Stamford V Hucknall (thunder/lightening)
A game I was playing in: Spot on V Eagle (mass brawl between players) Though I didn't get involved in the fistycuffs.

I can think of two off the top of my head (if I've forgotten any it's because they were abandoned and obviously didn't count!) First was about 1998, when we were at home to Hampton (who are now Hampton and Richmond Borough) in some league cup game. It was abandoned after about 20 minutes because the temperature had dropped dramatically and the pitch was freezing. The second was in 1999. We were newly promoted into the Conference and not doing terribly well. We were playing really well at Forest Green Rovers and looked to be on our way to our first win of the season. After about an hour, when we were 2-1 up, the floodlights failed. The word "sabotage" was muttered around the ground as we stood about eating pasties, but that's only because we were cross and wanted to win. Fortunately, we won the rearranged match 2-1

None so far, only started coming for the very end of the 2003/04 season when the Bucks were in trouble though, been lucky so far.

Leek Town 1-1 Eastwood Hanley (fog) 1987ish Leek Town 2-0 Morecambe (waterlogged pitch) 1997 Leek Town 0-1 Rushden and Diamonds (fire) 1998 I think there may have been one other vs Buxton but I would have been very young.

Salisbury v Cirencester last season, Errea Cup. Frozen pitch. Actually completed the 90 minutes (2-2). Abandoned 10 minutes into extra time with us leading 3-2. Really the ref should have either called a halt after an hour when one of his linos ended up on his arse, or abandoned it neatly at 90 minutes.
Salisbury v Chippenham, Wiltshire Shield about 3 seasons ago. Abandoned after 2 minutes play, Salisbury player badly broken leg couldn't be moved off the pitch til the ambulance arrived.

About 1998/99 Lord Mayor's Cup final: Moor Green v Highgate Utd abandoned after their centre forward landed on our keeper's ankle and broke it in about three or four places. He was in agony on the pitch for about three quarters of an hour until the paramedics decided it was ok to move him. He never played again. We were leading at the time so we were awarded the cup. We signed the centre forward.

As I probably attend more Tinpot games than most of you I've seen loads!
Ones that stand out.
Littleton Vs Barnt Green Spartak, abandoned when a tractor ploughed through a fence and gouged a huge hole into the pitch.
Bilston V Causeway, abandoned when a firework from houses over the road set fire to the clubhouse.
Halesowen Harriers Vs Studley BKL, abandoned after the last ball had been hoofed over the embankment and down the road where the local kids were running off with them.
Plus a few others through more normal climate related reasons including a game at Rushall Olympic where I actually saw a bloke stick to the metal railing around the pitch because it was so cold and his mate(?) pissed on his hand to get him off!
