We played in red at home. Snowed all night and all morning....Abandoned at half time. Snowball fights all down Manchester Road with the Scousers To be fair, it wasn't all that cold that afternoon, just the amount of snow what got dropped in one go.

Dr. Feelgood Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 v Spurs in a FA Cup replay Jan. 1978. It went to extra time and I was so cold I thought my feet would fall off. Won with a Gary Jones goal very late on. 31,000 on on a Tuesday night. Don't recall ever being so cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2020 That Leeds game was pre-internet, tickets for the cup tie at Bradford went on sale in the morning. I queued for a couple of hours in the morning, just about thawed out then went back for more at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered taking up smoking that night just to see if it would add any sort of warmth. As an aside, one of many things I miss about Burnden is the sight of a thousand fags being sparked up along the paddock just after the ref would start the game. Looked like hundreds of little steam trains had set off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 13 hours ago, leigh white said: A cold night at Burnden V Tranmere in a FA cup replay in 83, got back to the pub and stood in front of the fire for 20 mins before I thawed out and went the bar and ordered a pint. You've really brought back a memory there. It was absolutely freezing, I was in Lever End, great lobbed goal from Chandler, went to extra time and we then won 4-1. That cup tie was the first time we'd ever played Tranmere in my time, I didnt envy their fans stood on the open embankment. Coincidentally one of the coldest games at the Reebok was also v Tranmere, another cup replay, again went to E-T. Me and a mate still "reminisce" about that game as the coldest, probably because of how late it finished, cant even remember if we won, only remember the cold.

They had ONE decent player, called Hulme. Scored 2. He ended up at Bury if I recall correctly. It was one of the very rare times my, not especially interested in football, kids came with me. It did nothing to alter that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
