Coldest match

[wackyjacky]

There was a Grimbsy match midweek once that was brassic, think it was a full match though, not just 6 minutes. 0-0 I think, at Roker.

Everton at Roker in the FA Cup late 70s

Deffo this ⬆

Nah, was just pissing down. Good Friday it was.

 

[Silly Point]

Wolfsburg v Hannover late January 2014. Minus 13 officially

As a long term lower league fan nothing, but nothing, beats Boundary Park for bitter and relentless cold. It's the type of cold that makes your bones ache. We seem to be in the same division as them every f***ing year.

The Fulham game that was called off for snow when Bally was manager.

Man City at home on a Monday night when Keegan was their manager. Especially when everyone on my row fucked off when we went 3-0 down.

There was a cold Monday night 0-0 against Stoke as well.

Ayesome Park was f***ing brass monkeys on a midweek game. That was the days of donkey jackets too being the rage and it was still freezin.

At home in FA Cup replay versus Gravesend at Roker Park in mid-February 1963; in that horrendous winter. Within minutes hands and feet went numb. We scored five but it was a nightmare with 27,000 to share it.

Brora Rangers vs Strathspey Thistle in January 2017.

Convinced one of my toes is still thawing out.

Blackburn away under Keane. Was 29th December iirc? A night match. Performed rancidly. Whitehead missed a pathetically soft penalty at 0-0 and Benny McCarthy buried his in the 90th minute.

Parked in a school at the top of the bank that the Fenhurst is at the bottom of. Drove me and me mates down in me t shirt opened the boot to get me coat out... forgot the twat. Was f***ing critical by full time!

If a was a mag Sky Sports would have been wanking over z as a tough northerner who doesn’t feel the cold. Only time av been colder since is in the Falklands in a rain, snow, sleet, ice storm on Mt Kent!

Brora, in Sutherland, was the home of the UK’s most northerly colliery right up to the mid-1970s. Sorry for going off-topic.

Bolton replay in the FA Cup in 2013. Was minus temps and hardly anyone there. Thought I was going to freeze onto my seat. Shite match and got beat 2-0.

I wonder if we have the coldest ground in the English football league?

We’re in the North of the country and we’re on the coast. Maybe the Pennines clubs like Rochdale and Oldham might have a stronger claim?

I often think the Stadium of Light is colder than the city centre for some reason.

 

[Freddie the Greek]

Bristol Rovers last season. Coldest I’ve ever been and I’ve been to bloody Iceland and Norway.

Started horizontally hailstoning reet at the final whistle. All you could hear walking back over Wearmouth Bridge was people saying "aye-ya!"

Talking of cold matches, slightly off on a tangent though. I was doing a crossword the other day where the clue was ....a card game first word three letters, second word six letters. For the life of me I couldn’t solve it and had to wait until the next day for the answer which of course was Ice Hockey, after all it really is a bloody card game.

I’ll get my coat!

QPR, good Friday 1997.

Yes coldest I've ever been at match.

 

[Scotty 1978]

I remember beating Everton at home just before Christmas one year that was cold, Manchester City in the Checkatrade last season was cold

 

[Wearson]

Fulham 85, as stated above.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Tranmere at Roker 95’. The week before we played Grimsby and it was cold as well
