Reading in the league cup a few years back was freezing- went to extra time and penalties as well. So cold I was almost prepared for Stoke to lose in normal time just so I could get home. Almost.

Stretching the thread to coldest ever - Huddersfield away on New Years Day. I drove over the Pennines with shovel, hot flask, food, supplies etc. in case I got stuck in the snow. The kid next to me in the stand had walked through the snow in his trainers on the way to the ground, so got them wet and they literally froze like ice blocks on his feet during the game. He could not feel them by the second half. I had three layers of everything on, woolly hat with a scarf wrapped around my head so my eyes just about peeped out. I remember thawing out by about March!

First season we came up we lost to Derby in the league cup on a freezing weekday evening.
After extra time I was almost relieved when Derby scored the winner as it meant I could get out of the freezing weather.

Sunderland in the snow when Huth got sent off. Managed to get tickets in the one part of the stadium that provided fuck all protection from the snow (John Smith Lower by the changing rooms). Froze my fucking bollocks off. You must have been sat/stood near me.. I was on row 3 or 4 and about 5 seats off the wall! It was a £5 tickets game for membership holders. Vile day. Loads of crashes on the A50 on the way home

I know the Brit's famous for being windy, cold and stuck on a hill, but the Boothen Paddock at the Vic took some beating. It was like a frost basin on some days, definitely been colder there than anywhere else (apart, possibly from Telford!)

The Britannia is positively balmy compared to the day we played Grimsby in a FA Cup match, a blizzard was blowing in off the North Sea onto the open end where we stood. In over 50 years of watching nogger I have never been remotely that cold, the only consolation (apart from getting a draw)was that day I also had the biggest portion of Fish and Chips that I've ever had.

Night match against Crwho - I think it was around minus 2 at kick off, and got progressively colder. And to top it all I seem to remember we lost 2-0 !

Hartlepool away in the 92-93 championship season, last game before Christmas and the North Sea wind blowing into the ground to cool it down to about -10. All forgotten after Foghorn's last minute winner though.

Fulham at home a few years ago when we had the -14 degree winter. Was a nightie match and we were the only game in the country that hadn't been postponed I think!

Preston at home in the binary season (New Years Day?). Ice on my seat. Empty Brit. Fucking wanking dogshit game. Urgh. Boxing Day. 0-0 and the only time I've ever left a game at half time. Absolutely freezing and game was one of the worst I've ever been to. Was there another really cold one a few seasons before around Christmas? Maybe Oldham or Bury - it might've been the game where it was delayed by 45 minutes. That Preston game really was horrific though!

It snowed after the match, it was such a blizzard I couldn't see across the road. This. The Brit, as much as I love our home, is cold full stop. The freezing games just merge into a permafrost memory bank. I struggle to pick a "coldest game at The Brit". However Grimsby was the coldest by a country mile. If you bear in mind where the next landfall after Grimsby is the wind that day must have come straight from Murmansk or some such Scandanavian / Arctic location. Absolutely bastard freezing that day. The drive home was an event as well, I'd somehow locked my keys in the boot of the car, had to break the quarter light to get back in so had an open window all the way home. (Isn't that the game when Stoke turned up without their away kit so had to use Grimsby's, (pale blue and maroon?), which was in the wash so they started the game wearing soaking wet kit in a blizzard?)
