Stoke at the Britannia in December 2010. They equalised last minute. Absolutely freezing that afternoon

Was that just after Christmas and was a double header of home games (Spurs the other one)? I was at those games, and that Chelsea game was bitterly cold. I also remember being at a reserve game at Maine Road sometime in the late seventies and it was that cold, the game was abandoned at half time. No snow or anything, and the pitch had undersoil heating so that wasn't icing up. It was just painfully cold. Going off tangent a bit, I was over for the Reading game in the Pearce season (0-2) and the drive back home from Dublin was an absolute nightmare with the worst fog I've ever seen. A regular two and three quarter hour drive home took nearly 5 hours. Have to be honest, when I got back in the door here, I wondered just what I was doing this for.01282 said:Huddersfield in 96, Chelsea in 06 and Everton and Salzburg in 2010 were the coldest I've ever been.

Remember a game again Brighton in the 80s no roof of course,it started off raining changed to sleet then snow soaked and freezing then no heat on special train either and to cap it all we got beat 3 nil i think.
That doesn't actually make sense... A replay of a replay...Oh sorry yes it does.njmcfc1894 said:Huddersfield cup replay, my dad had to take me home in Extra time, as a punishment my brother went replay (won 3-0~) and I didn't haha

Have to agree ref the Everton home game a few years ago,but I think the Fulham at home (re-arranged game) on a Wednesday in late Jan/Feb 2012 was fooking horrendous.
This was the game we won 4-0 but we had the snow shovellers on during the game attempting to move the snow from the lines.The bastard snow and wind even got to us way up in the "gods" in CB3 and honestly the snow was even coming down on us and I`ve never known it that bad at The Etihad.
The other worst conditions is way back in 1967/68 at Maine Road and the recent thread "Ballet on Ice" (v Spurs 4-1) was the next worst conditions,but some of the finest football I`ve ever seen in my 50+ years of watching our lads.
I`ve just had a thought.Was the Fulham game the re-arranged one when the midweek original game was called off for those wild winds that saw it blow over the Programme Stand or was that the Villa game that was re-arranged last season,the second of our two home games ?
Had a fair few beers at home tonight,including my second large Bacardi and Coke,so the old grey matter is getting a little confused,or maybe its just my fooking age.

Prestwich_Blue said: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?
This, when we got back to the car I stripped down to my undies, turned the heat on full blast and made the wife drive!
