MidWalesRam Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Huddersfield away possibly Boxing day 1995. We won 1 nil a Ron Willems goal, ground a result from a poor game and was by far the coldest game I've ever been to. Roker Park later in that same season was bloody cold as well but we lost that one 3-0 to compound the misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronRam 140.6 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Watched a midweek game at Merthyr Tydfil v someone one November in about 1994. Strike a light!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Went to a whole season of reserve games i think in the 93/94 season. All night matches and only 200 folk there so no Popside warmth. Remember taking soup to every game then started taking Port when it got even colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Ozzie End, someone shouts to Graham Moseley, who was effectively a spectator, no gloves for goalies in those days so he had his hands down the front of his shorts: "Are you cold Graham?" He turns around and nods. "Get bloody moving then!" Edit: just looked it up. We won 2-0. It must have been so cold that I missed the goals. https://www.11v11.com/matches/Derby-county-v-coventry-city-31-january-1976-83304/ I remember that game quite well. The picture was frozen and I thought the game shouldn't have been played. As expected the quality of football was poor. I was standing on the popside. The coldest I've been was at Brentford in the cup about 20 years ago. It wasn't that cold but I think I must have been getting ill and I wasn't wrapped up enough.

Dambuster Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Blackpool away Feb 1986, I was behind the goal where Andy Garner scored the winner in a 0-1 win. Cold cold cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very rare for a game to be called off. you can clearly see the damp on that tarmac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Anyone remember the 90’s Burnley game that was abandoned due to fog with us winning. Pretty cold that day, I was in Normanton end and can remember only being able to see play in our half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Third Div Preston away in FA Cup 3rd Round. Late '70's. (Jan '79?) Game postponed countless times due to snow/frozen pitch etc. Lost count of the number of afternoons I skipped school, planning to make the trip. We finally got there... and I experienced the wrong side of a cup giant-killing for the very first time, losing 3-0. We were sat shivering on old wooden benches, as opposed to plastic seats, so there were splinters to contend with too... not that my frozen ar5e could feel them! It wasn't much warmer for the journey back from Cambridge, either. (First game after relegation?) Lost 3-0. Minibus got tipped over whilst we were sat in a local before heading home. All 4 tyres deflated, and a side window put through. Was nigh on 1am when we finally headed home, after tipping the van back up, inflating the tyres, statements to police etc... and guess who was last on, and ended up with the seat by the glassless window, for the journey back in freezing thick fog! I know! Bloody August! I was only in a tee shirt... A yellow one!... And we never did come back in '81! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the Ossie end half of the Ley Stand... a treat for my newish girlfriend's first ever footy match! Not the best date we ever had, but after a 10 year trial run, she's been my wife for the last 24 years, so not all bad! Even from the side (let alone from behind a goal), we couldn't see the far (Normanton) goal, or even the dug out opposite, before it got halted! I think we lost the rearranged game?

We were brilliant on the day. For the younger ones... They built a new stand outside the existing ground, with a road in between! Only when it was complete, did they demolish the existing stand, and turfed the flattened ground. They left the pitch markings where they were originally! That stand was miles away from the pitch! (Think building a new stand where Subway is, before knocking down the East stand at PPS!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wasn’t a Rams match. Went to a Saints game at Highbury in the late 80s. Was due to go with my brother, a Saints fan, but he couldn’t make it in the end so went on my own. Lived in London at the time. It was a night match and the coldest night in November in London for 60 years or something. The snow came down, I had about 10 layers on but was still frozen. I was in the Saints end and couldn’t believe that some of their younger fans were in T Shirts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold cold cold. This, i think i lost a stone due to the amount of calories i needed just to keep breathing, also the infamous game at Saltergate where we played on Markham Colliery pit top later in the month, Another very cold day that winter was when we won at Bramall Lane in the FA Cup Just looked in my Dad's old diary (he used record the temperatures in Ripley and enter it there).1/1/86 (Blackpool match) max temp was -3c min was -8c.

ImARam2 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm old enough to remember the winter of 1962/1963 when it began to snow on Boxing Day and we still had snow and ice on the roads in March. The 3rd Rd. FA Cup match vs. Peterborough Utd was postponded about 8 times(?) before it was played in February, with snow around the sides and a bone hard pitch. The temperatures during January & February 1963 were minus something every day for about a month - maybe not very day, but it was bloody cold!!!

ram59 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The one that sticks in my mind, was around New year, an evening match against Sheff Utd, if I remember correctly. The bridge over the A52 was that treacherous, that you had to go one at a time holding on to the handrail with both hands, to stay on your feet.

Steve How Hard? Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Preston away during the Lampard season. Bloody freezing and a non eventful 0-0 draw. Should have watched it on TV instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
