Coldest/worst weather at a City match

[Prestwich_Blue]

Just posted in the West Brom thread about this. Blue underpants reckons it was a bit parky at the Villa cup game when Micah Richards equalised in the last minute but I don't remember it being that bad that night.

Boro in the FA Cup 3rd round in Jan 2010 was fucking awful though. Blizzards all the way there and back, driving sleet and snow off the North Sea during the game and we were huddled together like penguins for any warmth we could get. There wasa game against Wigan about three seasons ago in January where it was so cold I could barely feel my feet and struggled to walk afterwards.

Swansea last New Year's Day wasn't cold but it chucked it down relentlessly when we came out of the ground and we got bloody soaked through to the skin. Took me hours to dry out.

Any others you remember?

Wigan at Springfield park think 98
Constant cold rain with no roof
Think we left on 70 minutes to get a few brandies

Boro away. It was that cold we stayed on the concourse drinking (lie. We stopped at York on the way and we didn't even feel anything by the time we got to Boro. In fact, we didn't actually make it into the stands!)

Any game at Oldham wins hands down though. Even in the pre-season friendly the other year they had the undersoil heating on!

Agree about Boro in the Cup, not sure how we made it over the M62 tbh.

Going back a bit there was an away game at Coventry around 81-ish, it was one of the few games to go ahead that day because Cov had undersoil heating but the temp was around -6 without the wind chill.

Juve away in the Uefa Cup a few years ago was bloody freezing too.

Boro away was my worst, couldnt believe we actually made it on time with the snow near my house. Shivering all game with only one goal to warm us up.

Huddersfield in 96, Chelsea in 06 and Everton and Salzburg in 2010 were the coldest I've ever been.

To many to remember, the amount of times I came out of the Kippax not being able to walk and thinking "is it worth it"

Everton 2010 - by far the worst I have felt

Oldham in around 1990 when Megson scored the winner. Fucking freezing.

FA Cup defeat at Shrewsbury in 1979. Snow cleared off the pitch in to the stand. Stood behind the goal on sheet ice in trainers. Crap result and absolutely frozen... Happy days!!
