RIMBAUD Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The cup game away where Steve Davies scored the winning penalty. It were proper cold by the end of the game. Barnsley away Christmas time. I think Paul Kitson scores the winner there from the spot too. (Might not have been a pen. tbf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. During Young Nigel's reign? Now that was bloody cold. Yes, it was Sheff Utd, and yes, I too have the same memories of the footbridge that night. Can't recall the result, or anything about the game though! ?

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!!! My sister was born in Jan 63, my mum and dad regularly talk about how cold it was then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was born in that January. Coldest winter on record apparently, with only 1948(?) being comparable? I seem to recall tales of frozen seas, and also the River Derwent?

uttoxram75 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Loads of freezing games over the decades, more recent ones have been mentioned like Scunthorpe at home, Stoke away etc but some of my memories being chilled to the bone are at rail stations waiting for delayed trains after away matches in subzero temperatures and no facilities open for hot drinks. Ayresome Park was always cold, even in summer, Roker Park, Sunderland, if you parked near the sea in Seaburn in winter was colder than colder mccoldface on a cold day.

Biley66 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 1982 lost to Carlisle away 3-0 coldest most miserable day of my life, got home 1 o’clock in the morning. Experiences like this make the good times worthwhile ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've got a mate who used to live near Inverness. He went to a few games & he says that all the matches were ridiculously cold, especially with the wind blowing in from the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldest for me . Plymouth away on the terrace start of March - bloody freezing. A close second was qpr at home in the Billy Davies season when we walked in a howling gale with teeming rain from the pub to the ground or Tranmere at home on a new years day which was about - 5 and it was raining that heavy for the whole match I'm sure it would be called off today. The pitch was a swamp as were my pants- very unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wistaston Ram Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Coldest for me was the open terrace at Burnden Park in January mid 80s, (1.0 win, a Micklewhite goal?) Bumped into a chap, who I often stood next to at the Normanton end, but was only on nodding terms with. I remember sharing his flask of coffee, which saved me from hypothermia. Got to agree with a previous poster, waiting around on station platforms was the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihangel Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'd choose the current incumbents over Paterson, Nicholson and Kuhl definitely. Up front, Gabbiadini could play in our formation, not sure Kitson or Johnson could. It was a bit of a 'what could have been' team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardmm Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I remember a night game (against Shef Utd maybe) where I parked outside Halfords. It had been snowing mmmm and was very icy and I slipped and fell on my arris as I got out of the car and about 5 times walking to the ground. Can’t remember ever being so cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had travelled to the original game only to be having a pint in the Brunswick and hearing it had been postponed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to the city many times and if it was up to me I would have lived there. The ground is at the other end of the Kessock bridge in the photo below. Just look at the view you get when you walk to the ground from North Kessock - the village you can see in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
