No contest: Grimsby, an evening game in February about fifteen years ago. The North Sea breeze really bites at your face. The Brit's a sauna compared to that!  The lads next to me sang "Lou Macari's Barmy Army" non-stop throughout the whole game. I'm sure it was only to try and keep warm. |

Oldham - probably followed very closely by the Brit.
How can it be warm and sunny when you leave the house, and sub-zero when you get to your seat???

Oldham bloody cold, coldest ever though for me was a day at Huddersfield (at their current ground). I think it was a new years day and I took my missus (slick eh?) When we got there we found our seats were front row and covered in icicles! She refused to speak to me for several hours and obviously decided then that she hated me as we eventually got married!! A woman scorned and all that  |

That day a Huddersfield some little git aged about 6 threw a snowball straight in my face -was mainly ice- worst thing was most of it went down my jumper.
Would have kicked his ass but he was bigger than me

Oldham.
Went a few years back in the Autowindscreens - it was either quarter or semi finals. It was freezing and foggy - that bad they were giving out tickets on the turnstiles going in for when the game was replayed as they expected it to be abandoned.
Couldn't see the other end - Wardy jumped up during the game to keep warm and we all though we had scored ;D

It's all relative, the Brit would be very cold had we been there in the pre-global warming days.

Huddersfield, a few Boxing Days ago. It had snowed - friggin' frayzin! Yeah, that place is baltic! Went there one new years day when they only had 3 sides. It was so windy the linesmans flag kept getting blown out of his hand The Britt is pretty freezing all year round though tbh. |

No doubt about it for me - Barnsley (right on a hill like the Brit) about 10 or so years ago before they got their new covered away stand. It was not only us supporters who were freezing (my toes almost fell off) but the players were skating across the pitch like it was ice. We ended up getting hammered as the kit man did not bring the right studs for the frozen ground – we could not get any footing at all and they ran rings around us!

1. GRIMSBY TOWN - specifically the Findus Stand with it's remarkable view across the Humber Estuary all the way to Norway. THAT game Stokies have been referring to was a FA Cup 3rd round game which we drew 1-1 and won the replay against a Mike Lyons side 6-0 (he'd said in the pre-match that we were useless and his charges would 'rip us apart', or words to that effect. Didn't Tony Ford score? It was so cold that day that on going for my HT pee, I literally couldn't find IT and had to sit down again until a slightly warmer moment arrived!!
2. HUDDERSFIELD TOWN - that Xmas game when Brynar got injured.
3/4. OLDHAM ATHLETIC and THE BRIT - quite simply always!!

Yep Oldham, I also remember several seasons ago going there and it pissed it down every one in the first several rows got drenched in about 3 seconds. It also rained bricks from over the hospital wall on the way out.

Arbroath, as the local to there, Stokies know it actually juts out into the north sea. It must be the most exposed ground in Britain. When a north easterly blows in and the sea spray hits you as well you don't half know it.
Then the Brit. That Mickey mouse cup game against Darlington. Extra time came and i'm sure that if Lightbourne hadn't scored the "golden goal" we would have cheered a Darlington goal. It would have been that or death from exposure.

Remember the 1-1 at Grimsby- was sooooooo cold.
Think was Carl Saunders not Tony Ford that scored.
Replay was 1-1 and 2nd replay 6-0

Cheers Soi, I stand corrected!  Got confused with Tony Ford because remember him having a 'conversation' with a few of us up in the stand while a player was getting treatment and he was waiting to take a throw-in just below us. |

Think was only 4 games that day- went on the train with a buddy of mine from Uttoxeter- remember everyone singing 'up and down' and jumping up and down to keep warm  Coldest have ever been was a 3-0 win at the Vic v Reading- Keith Bertschin got a hat-trick. Was so cold couldn't open the car door as my hands were frozen. |
