Football fan's 'nightmare' as game called off after 8,000 mile trip

A football fan who flew 8,000 miles to watch his team play only for the match to be abandoned described the experience as "a bit of a nightmare".

Teacher Andy Bebbington made the trip from China to watch Bolton Wanderers play a League One game at Cambridge.

But the fixture was called off just 10 minutes in due to a waterlogged pitch.

The fan, originally from Kearsley, tweeted: "Gotta laugh or else I'll cry."
