I remember getting home from a game against Bradford at Withdean (3-2 Win FDM sent off in the closing stages), and my underpants were sodden!!
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Strong wind and heavy rain forecast tomorrow.

I actually remember that game. Biblical

Just to qualify that the soddeness was due to the rain falling that day and I was wearing stuff over my underpants.

The two that spring to mind for me are that Barnet game and the 1-0 defeat at home to Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day 1990 (not that I got soaked as I was under the North Stand roof but I dread to think how wet I'd have been on an open terrace):-

Cardiff away in 2016, back of the stand and we still got drenched.

There was only a few hundred of us rattling around.

Rochdale at Withdean was the wettest I’ve been at a match. And I think it was 3-4.

Wind and rain….think I’ll check the forecast in the morning…timings with low pressure tad harder to predict as against a nice easy high pressure

Ohhhh yes. Got drenched just walking to the CC Stadium. Continued to get soaked throughout the game thanks to the high winds. Was an abysmal game of football also
Thank goodness there won't be any fog though.

I’d love to have a look at that thread again. I assume deleted?

Bristol Rovers game should never have been played. The pitch was in a mess for weeks after that. Just one match in those conditions can have a lasting legacy.

I was also at the back of the stand, it was like being in a washing machine.
I had the 90 minute hot wash.. then a cold spin!

Yep that Cardiff one was a shocker. Followed by some Welsh pricks refusing to pick us up a taxi because we were English.

I couldn’t remember the date but have always remembered buying a program at Bournemouth, putting in inside my winter coat and when I got it out in the car back home there was a hole through the whole middle of it, I have never got so soaked.
