Events

[edit]

Inverness Thistle's match against Falkirk became famous in Scotland because the game was postponed 29 times,^[1] It was originally supposed to be played on 6 January in Inverness atKingsmills Park due to ice and snow, and was eventually played on 22 February once it was deemed suitable, where Falkirk won the game 4-0, and were eventually put out by Dundee 3 days later,^[2] though it was a few postponements short of beating the record of 33 games byAirdrieonians andStranraer set 16 years earlier due to similar circumstances during theWinter of 1962–63 in the United Kingdom where football matches were called off due to snowstorms.
