York City, a few years ago in the FA cup,
Sunderland when McLean got the winner in the snow and nobody will ever beat this . . .
Scarborough in some meaningless lower league trophy game 1,000 years ago when Kyle Lightbulb got our one and only ever golden goal in extra time after we'd gone down to 10 men in from of less than 2,000 hardy souls.

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?) Yea this was the coldest ever AWAY game. It was sooooo cold when going to the toilet at half time for a pee thought IT had disappeared I had to sit down again without doing one until it had thawed out a bit.

Think it was Darlington in auto windscreens bastard freezing then went into extra time. Thank fuck it was golden goal as Kyle LightBourne scored an early winner. That is absolutely the coldest I've ever been watching stoke city. No contest. My recollection is that it was against Scarborough not Darlington though.

Defo Wrexham in the FA Cup for me. When the mist fell the temp plummeted too.
A home game v Reading at the Brit sticks out in my mind as being a cold'un too. Can't recall the year or team at the time but was a good few years ago now.

Against Villa at home a couple of years ago on Boxing Day night. It was so cold that i actually froze to the two guys either side of me and we ended up having to drive home together. Turned out ok in the end though as we all live together now in a two up two down mid terrace in Trent Vale

Not a Stoke game. But the B&Q Cup final 13th December 1992 at Love Street Paisley. Hamilton Academical 3 Greenock Morton 2. I went with some fans of the Ton. It was that cold the Morton fans didn't cheer Morton's late second goal as they were either frozen or couldn't face the prospect of another goal and extra time. Baltic. Almost as cold as yesterday ( link).

Just watching the snow coming and coming towards us off the Humber estuary was quite scary. Then it hit!! Remember Tony Ford 'warming' up 😂 just below us looking like he just wanted to be anywhere else on earth rather than that Grimsby touch Line!

My coldest match was a game in Holland, Utrecht, a mid-week "beker" (cup) game. Somewhere in depth of continental winter, the temperature for the night match was -10. Very frosty.

There was a time in the mid 80's when we had a league cup replay at the old Leeds Rd Huddersfield in probably Oct/Nov where the frost was coming down like snow in the floodlights. We hadn't long been married and pre sprog the wife came along. By the time we got back we were truly frozen. We no central heating and a gas fire with the strength of 3 candles and we both huddled round it to try and thaw out before went bed.
We were poor but happy!
