Your coldest ever match

[sams dad]

Swindon away one new years day!

28th Dec 2003 ? Abso-f***ing- lutely freezing !

 

[Zamora For England]

West Ham Vs. Wigan - 28/12/2005; -2oC, and windy.

Liverpool Vs. West Ham 1/12/2008 - 0oC, colder traveling back.

Remember being really cold at Withdean recently, can't remember the match, but nothing compared to the other two.

Peterborough two seasons ago.

 

[Camp Freddy]

Another shout for Barnet on Boxing Day a few years back. I wasn't at Peterborough two seasons ago, but Peterborough in the Gillingham era was pretty damn cold. Barker scored from a Rod Thomas cross?

 

[sams dad]

I wasn't there, but wonder if anyone can spot themselves, Palace at Goldstone, 12/1/63:

i was at that game, but I don't think I'm in that photo

Luton few seasons back, lost 3-0 evening match. Depressed. Bimbo's doing the burgers messed it up. had to walk back through the town centre in thick snow and ice. Cold.

Wycombe away last season 5-2 Muarry Scored 4, was quite cold

But I prefer winter football

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Scunthorpe away 1986 (?), or Peterborough away 1987 (?) when it snowed.

 

[matt]

Barnet away, one of the many Boxing Day matches with them. I think it was the day Paul Watson blazed a penalty about 10 feet over the bar! Freezing cold, absolutely horrible day.

This one.

 

[perseus]

I recall very wet but not that many cold games at the Goldstone. But Withdean often feels both cold and damp.

Away down Cold Blow Lane and at Priestfield.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Blackpool away, back in the 70's. We were marched to and from the station, so couldn't stop anywhere to warm up.

f***ing OB made us walk along the prom in the middle of winter , to and from the station , apparently there was a train station nearer the ground but the Seagulls Special wasn't allowed to stop there.

 

[BLOCK F]

Oldham's supposed to be the ground at highest elevation in English league and therefore probably the coldest.

Away at Oldham,circa the mid 1970's....with my girlfriend.Good pies tho',I seem to remember!

 

[e77]

Gillingham on Boxing Day a few years back.

 

[El Presidente]

Oldham away 3rd round of FA Cup I think, we took the lead, they scored twice, and we lost but could hardly see as the wind was coming straight off the moors and froze your vision.

 

[hart's shirt]

Playiing in REMF1 - don't think I've eve been as cold in my life.

Me too.

Mind you, it was worth playing in it just to see DTG/Granny Weatherwax seize up and collapse after his first goalkick of the game.

QPR on the sunday before Christmas a few years back

Oldham's supposed to be the ground at highest elevation in English league and therefore probably the coldest.

It's the third highest professional football stadium above sea level (although I always thought it was second...)

The Hawthorns is the highest, followed by Vale Park then Boundary Park.

The coldest game I've ever been at was at Boundary Park - it was also the location of the hottest.

Anyone remember that heat wave across the whole country that weekend ?

 

[wigman]

Sheff Utd away 1985 (1-1 draw) absolutely freezing.
Coldest home game 79/80 season boring 0-0 draw at home to Stoke.

 

[clapham_gull]

Oldham away 3rd round of FA Cup I think, we took the lead, they scored twice, and we lost but could hardly see as the wind was coming straight off the moors and froze your vision.

Remember it well as I'm sure does Kuipers.

......

Yup, but it still rained in Manchester the next day!
I've never been to Manchester and not seen rain!

 

[thekinglives]

Slovakia vs England in Bratislava 2002. -3 degrees, with rain and wind. Never been so cold in all my life!!
