[Albion] Strong wind and heavy rain forecast tomorrow.

[5Ways Gull]

Mine was one of the games at Withdean, in the south stand obviously, I’ve never been as wet and cold (and miserable) in my life. Think we lost too.

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!!

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.

I remember a game at Barnet which is the wettest I have been.

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):-

 

[Is it PotG?]

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

Bmuff away Feb 95 was the wettest game I’ve attended, a cold monsoon. On the pitch, the ball ground to an abrupt early halt as it hit each lake. Minton and McDugald played the conditions brilliantly in a 3-0 win.

My first 'proper' away game.

My first 'proper' away game.

There was only a few hundred of us rattling around.

In the middle of the Archer theft era.

I was there. Should never have been played !!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

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

 

[LamieRobertson]

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

 

[Westdene Seagull]

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!

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

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.

Friday night v Rochdale I'll wager?

Friday night v Rochdale I'll wager?

I believe so!

Anyone do do away to Plymouth Jan 94, New year game? Biblical rain.cheeky 1.1 draw against Shiltons team.
