[Football] Forget your cold rainy night in Stoke...

That is excellent. No sporting event should ever be called off due to the weather imo!

Halifax Town. 1963 Big Freeze. The only game staged that day and it was shown on BBC that night (no MOTD then) I'm probably one of the schoolkids who helped to clear the snow off the pitch before the start. We lost 1-0 !!!

Peterborough away in the cup.

I can remember helping clear the snow off the Goldstone pitch to get a game on. No idea what game, though!

Likewise a few of us were there. I remember Danny Wilson coming out to give us encouragement, but also likewise can't remember the game

Peterborough at home. I was also there!

Chaotic weather makes MLS unique and the league should embrace it

After Real Salt Lake’s blizzard-battered win over LAFC, there have been calls for the league to change the calendar. That may not be a good idea

Messi could do a cold night in Stoke, I reckon.

Could Messi do it on an inhumanely cold night in Kansas City? Of course he could

Temperatures dipped to 0F (-17C) for Inter Miami’s match on Wednesday. The Argentinian still found a way to make a difference

An away day to remember.

Justin Fashanu “Bambi On Ice” and handbags in the away end between Albion fans?

Does anyone remember the home game against Cardiff, Feb 1985 I think? We were the only game in the country to go ahead and the MOTD cameras rushed down to cover the game. The East Terrace was closed due to snow and ice. I think we won 1-0

Crazy wasn't it - the terrace was lethal

I ended up just a few tiers below one of the entrance ways. The funneled cold wind was slicing through it like a frozen knife. So fvcking cold that day!!

I would have been there but I have absolutely no recollection of it, unfortunately.
