The 1966 WW v Bedford Town FA Cup 1st rnd 2nd replay was not a matter of an unusual reason for abandoning a match, but certainly very unusual circumstances. Score 1-1, match abandoned at 90 minutes.
Butterfly markets are pretty peaceful affairs until you get a few moth fanciers turn up, someone asks what the difference is between the two and it all kicks off. Butterflies broken on wheels all over the place.
I'm off to the cinema tonight to watch a film about fruit taking over the world and reducing humanity to slavery. The Punnet of the Grapes, I think it's called.

I attended all four matches.
I can't think of another example of a match being abandoned at 90 minutes.
Wasn't our cup match with Oxford City abandoned after 120 mins?
@Right_in_the_Middle possibly, but I don't remember it. What was the reason?
Ah the "fire under the stand".
The Oxford fans, and a lot of us, thinking they were getting kicked out as penalties were due to be taken at their end!
@Right_in_the_Middle. You are correct. I don't remember it, but here is the report.

I understand you can get good odds on Goalkeeper's shirt 'too loud' for next season.
I was at the Didcot vs Hereford match earlier in the year that was abandoned in the 89th minute - later replayed behind closed doors.
That was because of fans fighting wasn't it?
Hereford fans fighting with Didcot players.
I would hope that this one qualifies as unusual.

I recall a boxing day match with Oxford City at Loakes Park abandoned because of fog. I lived a short walk away so managed to get home OK
I would never have imagined that a butterfly market would require a large police presence. You live and learn!
Next week they'll need the riot squad to turn out for the local flea market.

Mick Jagger attending the fair I understand, hence the big police presence. He is a passionate butterfly (but only butterfly) collector.
it is well known that rolling stones gather no moths.
I once told a butterfly enthusiast that metamorphosis was silly.
Got himself in a right old lavae.
@malone will not be happy
@Jonny_King Well I've never "met a morphosis" that I've ever liked yet!
I'll get me coat.
I thought it was Paul Weller who was a butterfly collector.
another hijacked thread? Dear oh lore
Ah Malone. We all need a bit of fun occasionally. Stop living in your cocoon.
But it did give us @DevC's best contribution to this board ever.
I ate through four strawberries last night and I'm still hungry...must be all those puns.
@Wendoverman Five oranges today and you can gorge yourself tomorrow
a punnet of strawberries perhaps......................
@DevC I'll give you that old son, nice work
I'm off to the cinema tonight to watch a film about fruit taking over the world and reducing humanity to slavery. The Punnet of the Grapes, I think it's called.
People think it's all fun and games until they hear about the Deaths Head Hawkmoth (yes, that is a real thing).
War for the Punnet of the Grapes, unless it's the old one starring Charlton Heston.
Did someone mention Charlton Heston:
