Referee Andy Woolmer deemed the conditions unsafe for the players and refused to initiate the second-half, thus cancelling the first 45 minutes of play.
The Argyle players will undoubtedly be as discontented as the fans, having seized a grip on the game. The Pilgrims went in at the interval with a one-goal advantage and looking the better side at that.
Complete dispare for Argyle frontman Nick Chadwick, who has been desperate to re-discover his goal scoring form. Just before the half-hour mark, a mix-up in the City defence left the ex-Everton man through on goal, Irishman Alan Maybury gift-wrapping the chance with what was meant to be a headed clearance. Chadwick was truly grateful and certainly didn't let up in netting what would have been his second goal of the season. Plymouth were now on top, weathering the storm far better than The Foxes.
In fact, the visitors were on the back foot for almost all the evening's play, most uncomfortable in the Devonshire downpour. Leicester 'keeper Rab Douglas was to thank for restricting the scoreline when he suberbly denied a goal-bound effort from Mickey Evans. The Scot was then beaten, but Kouo Doumbe's header was re-directed away from the goalmouth by Mark De Vries. Nonetheless, Argyle continued to attack the Barn Park End, Paul Wotton and Tony Capaldi with the unsuccessful attempts before the home side were rewarded with Chadwick's opener.
However, the referee's controversial decision was eventually announced over the Public Address system at Home Park, after the restart was delayed. Greens fans had to head home 45 minutes earlier than planned with their team showing every intention of claiming the three points. Plymouth Boss Tony Pulis was bemused, frustrated at the fact his City counterpart Craig Levein would be able to take a few more positives from the cancellation.
The travelling Leicester support will have had plenty of time to ponder on the outcome of the night's events, on what will surely be a very long ride home.
