Wistaston Ram Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looking like it will be about 32 degrees for the game on Saturday. I cannot remember going to a match in such a hot temperature. The hottest I can remember was when we played at Fulham back in the Jim Smith years (0.0 I think). Must have been the first away game of the season and it was roasting in the old cramped wooden stand (the away fans were housed along the side in those days) and what a relief to get out into the fresh air at the end.

ram59 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It's going to be very hot in the lower east stand, everyone should wear hats, put on sunscreen and take plenty of water. jono, jimtastic56, Nishfan and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot in the south stand too, stood up and packed in. Not much air knocking about. Admittedly not quite in direct sunlight like those poor buggers in lower east - been there myself when I was younger, it is roasting. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Remember it being a similar temperature when we played MK Dons in pre season of the promotion year. It was at the old hockey stadium and the stand had no roof to offer shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game of the season in the George Burley playoff campaign we played Leeds away. It was about 35 degrees. I remember it well as it was on TV and I cycled round to my grandad’s house to watch it. I arrived dripping in sweat. We lost 1-0 despite being the better side. I remember us scoring from a corner and it was disallowed as they judged it went out of play first which was nonsense.

They ran out of water as well in the concourses. it was heaven when the sprinklers strayed into the stand. jimtastic56 and Wistaston Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Love it. When it's nice and hot I tend to put water bottles in the freezer and then bring them out with me for slow release of chilled water through the day. Though you might need to hide extra bottle tops somewhere in case the stewards are jobsworths and confiscate the one on the bottle. europia, jimtastic56 and Rev 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Think I might go on the bike. Catch a breeze, and home in 5 mins, once I’ve pushed it through the crowd as far as Costco. Anyone walking back that way, check before you step out of Costco out into that usually unused bus/bike Lane… I’ll only ring my bell the once! ?

Had been out on the lash the night before in Leeds so combination of 25 degree heat (sure it wasn't as high as 30 there), a steaming hangover & listening to the absolute garbage around us made me feel pretty nauseous. Did well not to vomit on a load of them. From memory, it was an early kick off & was their first game back in the Championship after relegation.

Millenniumram Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Duck, I forgot that we're playing on Saturday. Literally gonna melt, mind, I feel feel the players more running around in it! The whole start of this season has been bizzare. Playing football in the summer heat is not something I’ve ever really known as a fan. Don’t know whether it’s just the heatwave we’ve been having, or the season starting early, but it’s a very different experience. Wearing shorts to a football match, who’d have though it?!
