3-0 (1?) v bolton following appeal on tv for people to turn up early to clear the snow for a free ticket , the match went ahead
i think it was an ian wallace hat trick ( and he had a further couple disallowed)

Memories of beating Everton 3-2 at Highfield Road around Xmas 1978.
Fans clearing the pitch beforehand, orange ball and lines cleared with a shovel.
I'm pretty sure they were un beaten that season until we beat them, it was the main match on Match of the Day. I think Howard Kendall was manager and complained about the state of the pitch just as Blackburn did in that match that was previously mentioned.

That was the one! fantastic atmosphere, snowball fights with the everton fans and a good game to go with it. I remember the appeals being put out in the coventry telegraph and the press afterwards as well.

Blackburn 5-0. David Rennie even scored. Think he scored a header.

As for the best match in the snow us older fans will re-call our 5-1 win over Southampton around January 1965 when the majestic George Hudson ran their defence ragged and scored what some will say one of the best goals ever at HR juggling the ball a few times, flicking it over their centre-half's head and burying the ball in the back of the net. We bought that centre half a few seasons later, Tony Knapp, who was feckin crap.

Ditto, still my second fave city game after the Man Utd 3-1 (take a bow Hucks). Orange ball, Blackburn tried to get the game called off at half time. Tossers
