Absolutely F**king Freezing

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

On the Kop, the temperature will be better than it was for the Swansea and Villa matches...

 

[blade too long]

[Sean Thornton]

when I was a lad, before undersoil heating, the fans on the kop were asked to piss on the pitch 30 mins before the KO to thaw it out

From the Kop?

 

[rompodebailey]

You can stand up and watch through a window or sit in the comfy chairs which are uncovered. I was there for the Forest match last season

No, you get allocated a seat, It may be indoors behind the glass, (It also has heating under the window, just remember to switch it on,) or it may be outside in the purple padded chairs. If there are spaces, they will let you sit inside, even if your ticket is for outside

Just had a look, If your ticket says row A, or row B, I think you will be inside, Otherwise I think your outside

The modern day fan. Nesh.

Can't possibly be as cold as Derby away or Watford at home in the early stages of the cup when they beat us on penalties.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Blades 2 Burnley 2 , FA cup 3rd round, Jan 1993 that was a cold one.

 

[Bayingblade]

Barnsley twice in 3 days (if memory serves) in 1989 or 90 in the cup was chilly!

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Oh God, please let the answer be NO.

Something about men in tights I find deeply disturbing. Once saw Bauhaus at the Lyceum and Pete Murphy wore a Bowie-esque leotard (not a problem) with black tights. Yuk.

Memries!

I saw Pete Murphy at Rock City in 1986, when he was solo and preferred to be known as Peter Murphy. My memrie, which may be exaggerating a little, tells me that he played the entire set with his back to the audience. At the time, my young, callow and impressionable self found this to be immensely avant-garde. With hindsight, he may just have been being a hissy twat.

But, good god almighty, I was a feckin slave to Bauhaus in those days.

Sounds like he’s not mellowed in his old age https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bauhau...n-show-after-throwing-bottles-into-the-crowd/

Snowflakes.

WHERE?

Oh I do hope they're pretty...

Is that how the yellow ball in winter was invented?

I confess:

1. I have never worn my missus's tights, not outdoors, or indoors.

2. I have worn tights of another kind to a football match.

I have some "Gore" running tights - ultra-thin, lightweight, tights that I wear for running in winter. I have been known to put these on, under my jeans, on really cold days at the match. They are superb! It makes a huge difference to keeping warm all over to have this extra layer underneath your jeans and no-one is any the wiser. The only problem is going for a piss as it's hard to pull them down when you've got your fly open. And I really don't fancy standing in that toilet queue at half-time with my arse hanging out at the urinal.

But, needs must and all that. I'll just have to queue for a cubicle.

Slight case of trauma after Forest at home last year. Only got the feeling back in my feet t'other week.

You didn't have to drive back to Norwich after that so be grateful my friend

No they didn't use a pigs bladder then (tango wasn't around), they just used a giant snowball and got the fans to piss on it....

 

[SwissBlade]

I'm so glad i'm away, given the fresh weather the Chavs will be out in their festive Christmas jumpers.

We could easily turn this thread into a totally different topic about Christmas jumpers - I totally agree with you. They made a comeback ooh...when? About 5 years ago? And we've been suffering ever since.

I think I'm just going to get a big sign on my back saying "I am a tasteless person" instead.

I was on the coach and ready to go for one of those, then it got called off.
