K Lo 221 Posted December 19, 2009 Oddly enough, I saw this thread and thought "I can remember a flippin'' cold match in the ''80s. There was sonw on the terraces in the River End and we were skidding about on it. It was against.. errmm.. Huddersfield!!" I think we won 2-0 then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,718 Posted December 19, 2009 Chelsea,in the Prem,was pretty bloody cold.Well,my feet were anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longy 1 Posted December 19, 2009 It was cold but I have been colder on numerous occasions, the fact that I could feel my feet at full time means I have deffo been colder. An fa cup tie in the late 90''s at Grimsby comes to mind, we sold out the away end and my seat was in the front row, the sleet was virtually horizontal straight into my face and we all hid behind the stand at half time to get out of the weather, oh and we lost 3-0.Having said that I am still grateful I didn''t break my neck walking from town to the game today, I nearly went over on about 3 or 4 occasions.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 20, 2009 [quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]Great second half but that was the coldest i can remember being at a game in a long while and the paths afterwards were lethal[/quote] Very true and I find it amazing that paths near the stadium wern''t salted/gritted when the authorities knew that they''d be 25,000 at the game. Another example of where us the tax payers are let down by the public sector/Councils! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levi Stubbs 0 Posted December 20, 2009 [quote user="Congo Canary"]1985 Milk cup quarter final away at Grimsby. Their coldest night on record -12. Norwich fans cleared te pitch of snow, then a mass snowball fight with the sportsnight camera crew. Bloody cold, but great day.[/quote]One of my favourite ever away games that one.I remember the salute Chris Woods saluting the Grimsby end at the end of the game after they had pelted him with snowballs all the way through the second half[:D]Did''nt know City fans helped to clear the pitch that day...

droundi 0 Posted December 20, 2009 i remember tha game in 85. Touch and go we were gonna get to game. I didn''t drive at time and went on coach. When i got back to Norwich, i couldn''t get anyone to meet me as i lived 9 miles out in countryside and roads were so bad. Ended up walking home the 9 miles and kept slipping over cos the road was like glass!!Oh, and got home about a couple of hours before i had to be up to start work at 7.30 am!!Remember i ddn''t care though, cos i was on such a high at get to semi finals (and those games agains you know who!!)Exiting days!!

Clean Shirt 0 Posted December 20, 2009 It was pretty cold at the game yesterday. however the coldest I have ever been was last night waiting for a cab in Norwich for 4 hours. think i could well have a touch of frost bite.

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted December 21, 2009 [quote user="shortfatb"]Away to Forest on Boxing Day, I think, or over Christmas, in late 90''s or early 00''s we were 3 down with over 20 minutes left and it was so cold I went home. Can anyone else remember or confirm this? [/quote]can''t remember the score but can recall going away to Forest on Boxing Day and being the coldest I have ever felt at a football match. We lost and didn''t get a kick. I made the very wise decision not to go to Sheff Wed two days later.............and we won that one 5 - 0 I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jelltex 0 Posted December 21, 2009 Liverpool FA cup 1986, the only game on in the north west, we lost 5-0!That Grimsby Milk Cup tie for sure.Playing at the National Hockey stadium during the protion season, with that ice cold wind. Brrrrrr.I seem to remember a friendly arranged against Peterborough on a Saturday afternoon, mid 80s, after our away game had been cancelled. Bloody brass monkey that day, and was one of only 6,000 who turned up. Or I cold have imagined that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,336 Posted December 21, 2009 can''t remember the score but can recall going away to Forest on Boxing Day and being the coldest I have ever felt at a football match. We lost and didn''t get a kick. I made the very wise decision not to go to Sheff Wed two days later.............and we won that one 5 - 0 I think.Made the same mistake as you Barclay Boy. Went to Forest - we lost 2-0 and froze - then missed the 5-0 win at Hillsborough.....doh!!Don''t think it was quite as cold at Forest that day as it was on Saturday. According to the BBC RAF Marham had the lowest daytime temperature at -2.2C so it must have been around that at Carrow Road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Congo Canary 0 Posted December 21, 2009 ''That game was on ITV''s Midweek Sports Special, not BBC''s Sportsnight! Commentary was from Martin Tyler!'', You always get one!!Yep,a real cup tie. Touch and go whether or not it was on, crap ground, freezing conditions, and a Caroline Seagull coach trip. At school at the time, and managed to bribe the day off for the price of a program. However, a stale pork pie hurled down the coach from the farmhouse cafe, giving me a black eye didn''t go down too well the next day, and took an awful lot of explaining!!

Tim Allman 1 Posted December 21, 2009 This game on Boxing Day 2000 was absolutely effin freezing - City won 3-2 at QPR. We sat in the upper tier near the front facing an icy wind.http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=298995 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted December 21, 2009 I think modern spectators suffer more from the cold at football matches than they used to - two reasons:1) Underpitch heating means that many more matches go ahead in sub-zero conditions - years ago they would have been postponed2) It is harder to keep warm when sitting down rather than standing up - since Carrow Road went all-seater I''ve noticed I suffer from the cold at matches much more.Having said that, although I was frozen in the first half on Saturday, in the second half the adrenalin kicked in and I hardly noticed the cold!

Ren 75 Posted December 22, 2009 I seem to remember a game vs Charlton at home where it was really really cold. I also seem to remember the ref got knocked out and it took me about 3 hours to warm up after, so that gets my vote. Score may have been 1-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
