Hartlepool colder on the open terrace. Cold wind was biting. Only time I've been that cold before - Cov f.a cup 3rd round and Oldham when Mike Doyle scored in both nets Forget about Coventry, no heating in the car too, bloody freezing all day.

miamiwhite Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 One cold game which rarely gets a mention was the one v Charlton at Burnden, around 1981 when their fans were put in the Manny Road North. That was fucking bitter, I was a teenager and went home at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt.

There were a couple of games that were so cold and bored stiff that I was shivering. Couldn't wait for the final whistle and to get walking back to the car.

Sunderland at home on a Tuesday night. Won 1-0 with Zach Clough's helping hand but they dominated possession and 3-1 home deafet to Preston at the end of the month when it was even colder.

There were hardly any games that day, I remember being really pleased we had a game to watch, even more so that we won. No away games survived the weather between losing at Palace at end Nov till returning there to lose in the FA Cup on 23rd Jan. But we played 4 at home, 2 wins and 2 draws, while a lot of clubs hardly played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around about the same time as this there was a home fixture v Barnsley and again the visiting fans were put in the Manny Road North Stand. Really odd to turn up in our normal seats and be surrounded by away fans. Anyway - lots of good banter shared and no trouble. And yes it was f*cking cold!

I guess you were one of not many at Palace for that one. Blackburn was next game after Charlton, crowd trebled from 5,500 to 16,500. Other 2 games either side were QPR and Chelsea. (Tony Henry, one of my favourite players, scored in 3 of the 4). We didn't play Arsenal in that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think Arseal in the cup was the following year at Highbury Tony Henry was class, i remember him when he worked later for the Prudential, think he may still be doing financial services to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it was cold Leeds at during Christmas 95 was also freezing, whole Burndrn Terrace did a half time bounce along to Jonah Louie to keep warm Couple of weeks earlier had to endure a 0-0 extra time cup match v Norwich only to lose both on penalties and the feeling in my legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnden and older grounds never seemed quite as cold to me prob due to being huddled together on a terrace and able to move around. Sitting down always felt a lot colder to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masi 51 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Bolton v Everton new year day 1979. The day George wood broke Peter Reids leg. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
