I did catch the forecast for heavy rain showers which seemed to coincide with the walk back to the car. But I wasn't expecting anything like that. I'm just grateful we won to take the edge off. You don't often get rain like that in this country - absolutely ridiculous scenes! My trousers were stuck to my legs, and I literally had to empty my shoes like they do in cartoons. You obviously don't actually "get out" into our great country. We do actually very often get all sorts of "weather" closing in.
Maybe not in the vicinity of the 365 that often.

I'd say last night is the wettest I've ever been. Ever. You’ve never been swimming then?

What a fantastic decision that turned out to be I got the piss taken because I told friends what time it was going to rain (thanks to the Met office app). I thought I was dressed to counter the rain, unfortunately the app didn’t say how heavy the rain would be. Why didn’t I go in just swimming trunks and flip flops

I'd say last night is the wettest I've ever been. Ever. no way ,blackpool away years ago ,it didn't rain it was just a giant wave came crashing over blackpool lol ,bought a giant brolly,it lasted 5 min then it got blown into the paddock ,kept seeing it popping up all over the ground ,even had to ring my socks out when i got back the car This led to one of the most surreal events of my life. Stopped in a guest house in Gynn Square that I had stopped in numerous times, and was with my then girlfriend. Both turned up after the match, soaked to the skin. Landlady met us at the door, and just simply said “get your kit off then!” After a brief moment, we all burst out laughing, before getting changed and handing over our wet clothes for the landlady to put through her tumble dryer. Strangely the girlfriend and I parted company not long after, can’t think why!!

It only takes 90 seconds to get from the B28 exit, up the hill and onto the bus. Absolutely fucking drenched. It's a shame the Vale weren't at home last night, it'd have counted towards their six washes a year. Is that one each?

Cold, wet jeans are lovely to walk in aren't they?! I was walking like some kind of out of control robot. Never been that wet, ever. Might as well have jumped in the cut.

I chickened out and waited hoping the rain would ease under cover near turnstiles 1 and 2. My luck was in after half an hour or so I walked a mile and a half back to the car almost completely dry. Spent some of the time talking to Mr Neil Baldwin MBE. (aka Nello), proudly wearing his badge of honour. Told me he received it last week. Has this been publicised anywhere yet?

I got wetter than an otters pocket walking all the way back down Stanley Matthews Way.
In fact I was so wet I actually stripped of to my underpants once I got in the car.
I felt better - though the taxi driver wasn't particularly impressed.

Got soaked to the skin against Man City in the 70s standing on the Stoke End. Got hit in the ear by a shot from Mike Summerbee and my programme turned to papier-mâché in my pocket. Then had to walk home to Clayton. Them was the days, eh? Can’t remember the score.

Crazy weather, just about died off as a got to the car in Heron Cross which made it more enjoyable, had thick Converse boots on that are still wet through now 3 days later.
I can confirm that my waterproof coat is anything but waterproof then again i doubt the designers would have ever thought it would need such proofing to the level of that type of wetness.

There must have been a lot of us driving home in underpants on Tuesday. I did the same. Waterproof top just about saved the top half. Jeans stuck to legs. Walking boots socks and pants soaked. Decided to wriggle out jeans when I got to the car - not easy in a very small 2 seater! Drove back to Shrewsbury in tee shirt and pants. Constantly concerned about the possibility of breaking down and explaining myself to the old bill or being noticed at the many sets of traffic lights as town approached. Phone survived intact. Car key still worked but the crowning turd on the wetness saga was my fags got waterlogged so had to drive home nicoteneless! All for the potters. Good job they won as I suspect I wouldn't have seen the funny side of it otherwise
