Coldest football Match you have ever been to?? 17:51 - Oct 28 with 20006 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | With Winter fast approaching, I was just wondering what the coldest football game you have ever been to is and how you dealt with it? I want to give a shoutout to someone back in 2015 vs Wolves at home who was doing laps of the concourse at half time to "warm his feet up". True story. | |

Yes, it was a bit chilly that day wasn't it? If my memory is correct they held our special train at Ipswich station until the result of the pitch inspection was known. Not sure how the referee decided it was playable. | | | |

Agreed, definitely the coldest for me. Then the lights fused on the train on the way home from memory, and it was bloody cold on the train too. Still amazed we got away with a draw that day. | | | |

Must be something about the Gas as the game in the 90's with horizontal hale whipping in would be mine. That and Coventry away when we won in the last minute and the M6 was a death trap heading north. | |

Yes - a bit nippy, but there were thirteen of us in twelve seats, so we were pretty snug. And then Uncle Factual (RIP) won a pub raffle in Baldock on the way home. He needed the loo, asked the landlord if it was OK to do so without buying a drink. 'So long as you buy a raffle ticket', said the landlord, 'we're just about to draw it'. UF picked his prize up on the way out, and was asked never to return. | |

Coldest football Match you have ever been to?? on 18:19 - Oct 28 with 8847 views | southnorfolkblue | Oldham v Millwall back in the 90s. Was up there on a pre season cricket tour. Our match was abandoned when the sight screen flipped over, so I decided to take in some footie. Never experienced cold like it. Still the only game I’ve been to where the wind took a keepers kick and blew it back over his head for a corner | |

Another vote for this. I was over-dressed in the sense I could barely breathe, but hell, when that wind blew into the Churchmans/Sir Alf, it cut straight through. It's the first time I've not been sorry to know a game to be cut short. | |

That was a cold one. I seem to remember a home game with Stockport in the late 90s that was freezing, chilled me to my bones. | |

Was that the one 4 or 5 years ago? Forgot my coat, had to pop into the shop and buy an extra top. Was sooo glad when they called it off! | |

Coldest football Match you have ever been to?? on 18:44 - Oct 28 with 8744 views | Guthrum | Not sure it was that cold, but the snow during (and, particularly, on the way home from) the Coventry away game in 2012 - when Chopra scored a last-minute winner - was rather memorable. Took me about three hours to do a journey which should have taken one. | |

Two actually. If it was in the Premier League it was 2002. Also had a cold New Year's day match there in 1997. | | | |
Coldest football Match you have ever been to?? on 19:02 - Oct 28 with 8672 views | longtimefan | England v Cameroon at Wembley 1991, it was absolutely freezing. Travelled in a friend’s car , via Cambridge to pick up his mate on route, and stayed there overnight. Next morning got up early to travel back to work, to be met with snow. We only got as far as Stow-cum-Quy before his car stopped. The idiot didn’t have anti freeze in the engine and it had frozen, making it over heat. Waited 4 hours for breakdown services that never arrived before abandoning the car and hitch hiking home. Finally got back to Ipswich at 7pm, 12 hours after leaving Cambridge and having missed a days work! | | | |

The 1997 game gets my vote. Woke up New Years Day morning and was gutted the game was still on - one of only a few. The ref shortened half time as the pitch was freezing. Never been so cold. On a similar theme the wetest I've ever been was Sunderland in 1992. A couple of weeks from promotion but stuffed by a Sunderland team not far from being relegated but in front of a full house due to promotions for cup final tickets. It started raining just before the game started and threw it down all game... | |
