Hottest and coldest you've been at a match

[Icy Gull]

We'll forget wettest, as the South Stand has had far too many wet matches - Albion 3 Rochdale 4?

Coldest-Evening micky mouse cup game against Fulham that we won on a golden goal by a Virgo?? ( I think?)

Hottest - FA Cup semi-final at Highbury, I had been wearing a really thick hand knitted pullover with seagulls all over it for the previous cold winter rounds, I didn't dare take it off (superstition and all that) and nearly expired on that BOILING day

Hotest...Southend away,first game of the season ..Bring on the champions!


COLDEST...Sheffield United away FA cup 3rd round about 1987 0-0 i think,snow covered pitch.

 

[JJ McClure]

Wettest was Swindon in the play-offs, absolutely drentched.

Hottest and coldest are hard to remember specifically, but there's been planty of games at Withdean in December and January where i've had my hat, gloves, scarf, and two pairs of socks on to help keep me warm.

coldest for me - minus 18 in moscow when we were meant to be playing spartak moscow. the toilets were holes in grounds and your pee froze instantly.

hottest - maybe when we played in bangkok? they were having some sort of heat wave out there.

European/worldwide adventures have been few and far between for the Albion, doubt we can compete with that

Coldest: Hull away, circa 1995 - 96, 0 - 0 draw on a Tuesday night. My knees froze up, I could barely stand up at the end of the game let alone walk back to the car!

Wettest: Barnet away circa 2000 (memory is not as good these days). We were not aloud under the covered terrace when we arrived. so stood and got soaked on the open temp. stand. At half time they allowed us under the cover but we were already wet through by then, seemed no point.

Two candidates for coldest: one was at the old Walsall ground about a dozen years ago. The wind whistled off the moors, we bossed the game and then conceded a soft penalty in the last minute to lose 1-0. I was just relieved to be out of the cold.

The other was White Hart Lane for Tottenham v Scunthorpe in the cup in 1987 (my mate's a Scunny fan so I went along with him and his mates). It was absolutely bollock-scrunching freezing. I tried to chat with my mate and realised it was too cold to talk. Fortunately, the game was a good one, even though Spurs won, that kept us a bit warmer.

Can't remember being really hot at any game.

my girlfriend at he time came with me to that game and almost fainted because of the heat............

that was the game MA took off FDM at half-time, right?

 

[sir albion]

Can't remember to many hot games,reading away when they won the league and all those twats run on the pitch.That was rather hot as had a sun tan after

plenty of cold ones,swindon a few years ago in that open terrace was bitterly cold thanks to the wind blowing in our direction

 

[Questions]

Sparta Prague minus 6/7

At least the lager stayed cold.



and Blackpool away about 5 or 6 years ago at xmas time....... Brrrrr

 

[Hiney]

Coldest - Notts County in 1978 I think it was. Even the BOVRIL was frozen

Hottest - Reading a couple of years ago when we lost 3-2. f***ing BOILING

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hottest - Swinners away in the play offs.
Coldest - Agree with the Fulham home game when James Virgo scored the golden goal.

 

[Mendoza]

Hottest - Oldham away on 1st day of the Season - Leon Knight with 2

Coldest - Swindon away in the same season - between Christmas and New Years in the open terrace behind the goal

Wettest - Barnet away 1-0 Ifejiagwa

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Coldest was probably the Sudbury Town replay. Absolutely no idea about the hottest Albion game, but I did watch a game in Ecuador which was played in 101F.

Another worthy mention is the 2-1 defeat to Millwall, when we had a mild sleet storm. That was pretty wet and cold.

 

[Questions]

The semi finals at Highbury was a tad warm

 

[y2dave]

Coldest has to be Brentford boxing day 95 when we won 1-0 courtesy of a Wilkins mishit cross from a corner. Hottest either Southend away 2000 or Reading when they won the title about 93. Sun really got to me those days.

Wettest by a mile has to be Luton in the championship at the withdean a couple of seasons ago.

 

[fatbadger]

hottest - crushed amongst tens of thousands in Accra at Hearts of Oak vs Kotoko. It was hot and humid enough as it was, without all the other bodies!

coldest - Peterhead vs East Stirling, a couple of days after Christmas a couple of years ago. I don't know who designed that ground, but he is a sadist. It's on a hill, close to the sea, with only 2 stands, which are perpendicular to the shore, so the wind off the sea is just funneled along the pitch.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Wettest away at Barnet when the illlegal scored ties with Rochdale at Withdean. Hottest seem to recall away at Reading at Elm Park last game of the season once.

 

[blockhseagull]

Hottest -Swindon in playoffs

Coldest - Swindon, that same season at Xmas time i think

Wettest - Well Swindon at home that season again would be in with a shout, but think it would have to be Bournemouth away in the FA cup at Dean Court.... early nineties i think and Andy Kennedy scored a chip over the keeper.. Think we lost anyway !!!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Wettest - Carlisle last year.
Hottest - Highbury
Coldest - Hull away in the FA Cup in about 1984. It was incredibly cold at the game, and then the Seagull Special broke down on the way back, and BR left us sat in dark carriages with no heating for about three hours in a siding at Peterborough. We got back around 3.00am.
