It was Grimbsy away 1986 if I can remember right. Think it was 1-1 or 0-0. We had gone up in a shitty bus that had about 3 seats. Genuinely thought I was going to get frostbite, I couldn't feel nothing. The booze helped though. Cup game in Jan 87? Before the two replays, the second of which we won 6-0. It rings a bell

Boxing Day 0-0 versus Preston - 2006 maybe. It was a frozen turd of a match. This one for me! And me.

Swansea at home, midweek, about four years ago for me. High winds throughout the area all day, I spent most of that game trying to curl into a ball. I remember hoping the match would be called off and two of my mates (season ticket holders) stayed in the pub instead. is that display picture of you at that game?

A home match at the Brit v Reading sticks out in my mind as being particularly cold. Can't remember the score nor date but recall it being one of the coldest I'd been at a game.. Don't recall it being snowy or frosty but was that breeze that cuts right through ya type of cold..

Nottingham Forrest away, New Year’s Day, must have been 13/14 years ago... Not so much the cold but anyone unlucky enough to be on the first 10 or so rows got pissed on all game. Just remember that awful feeling of jeans and k Swiss trainers soaked through + hangover + defeat... bad day. Stayed over for new years eve. Great night. Hungover to fuck at the match and got soaked. Eugen Bopp scored the only goal if memory serves me right.

One of these two: Tromsø v Molde in '99, or Íþróttafélagið Fylkir v Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur in 2011. Both were slightly chilly. That said, Tromsø was made more enjoyable due to copious amounts of akevitt.

Cup game in Jan 87? Before the two replays, the second of which we won 6-0. It rings a bell I think it was 1 - 1, Carl Saunders, in the run leading up to losing to Coventry the year they won it. You think you were cold, my brother and I made the mistake of chosing to sit in the main "Findus" stand rather than stand in the away end. We were perched above the pitch facing the North Sea with a gale blowing straight at us. The standing fans behind the goal looked to us like they were in the Bahamas! I think this will be the winner for loads of people, because we took an extroadinary number of fans for Grimsby away 3rd round I remember, counting the coaches filling the backstreets.

Away at the hockey stadium against Wimbledon when we played them away and home in the FA cup, and then in the league. That day was a bit nippy out in the open

Couldn't get warm for days and fell ill with a cold, missing the first replay but fortunately I recovered in time for the second.

Huddersfield Town away at their old ground. No roof, artic snow blowing in your face. Bloody freezing.
Grimsby in the fog in the 90’s just sapped all heat from your bones.

Another one here for Grimsby away in January 1987. Not only the coldest I’ve been at a football match, but probably the coldest I’ve ever been in my life.

Huddersfield away, possibly in the promotion season from Division 2. If it wasn’t Boxing Day it was the game in between that and new year.
They had Leon Knight up front who looked lively with his pace but they created little.
We had one chance that fell to Iwelumo where him, the ball and anyone trying to get in his way should’ve ended up in the net, unfortunate none of them did.
It was fucking freezing and fucking wank.
Oh and that Preston game on Boxing Day. Still to this day the only time I’ve fallen asleep at the match. The mixture of copious amounts of alcohol beforehand & the sheer boredom of the match sent me to sleep

Boxing Day 0-0 versus Preston - 2006 maybe. It was a frozen turd of a match. Yes, that's mine. A half empty Brit was as bleak and cold and wind swept a place as you could ever not wish to see! Does anyone know what the temperature actually was? The Brit looked and felt like some hideous freezing concrete monstrosity right out of pre-perestroika Eastern Europe, one straight out of Siberia. An afternoon of debilitating cold and a football match which offered absolutely nothing at all for the perishing punters!

Mine is a strange one(no, missus, listen!). Portsmouth away, thinking 1985? My memory is getting worse, but bear with me.
Why I say strange is, for some reason I went in a tee shirt, and no jacket. I was very thin then, as well and the away end had no roof. Anyway, it got colder and colder(probably nowhere near as bad as now, but relatively speaking), and there I am, no jacket and shivering.
The same night, I picked up an ear infection and the cold got in it. I was in bastard agony! I can't remember how I got there, whether it was League or Cup(definitely mid week), or the score.
But I remember freezing my tits off and nearly losing an ear.

I remember being on the open terrace at wigan one year having taken a new girlfriend with me - absolutely bitter it was, she never asked to go again! Maybe taking her jeans and jacket was the last straw, Red? 😜

Home to Crwho in League 1 in December 1997. Midweek game and I seem to remember it was around minus 1 at kick off and just got colder and colder.
We lost 0-2 as well !

My 2 boys had 6 layers top half and 3 bottom half and they were still frozen solid. I thought 3 layers including a fleece lined coat would suffice, boy was I wrong!!

Palace at home in the league cup, before they came up and had holloway as manager. Was fucking freezing and we conceded late on, meaning we had to watch 30 more minutes in the freezing cold.
