Seeing as its fucking freezing outside, what is the hottest and coldest games you been to?

The coldest for me has got to be either Crewe at home in the 05/06 promotion season or Barnsley away 07/08 when Billy Sharp scored a late winner. Also up there is a trip to Sunderland in nov 95 just after my 18th Birthday.

Also worth a mention was the Swansea home game in the 10/11 season, although I never made it out of the pub as I'd met Raul for a pre- match refreshment and we just said fuck it, it's too cold.

The hottest game without any shadow of a doubt is the first home game of the 2003/04 season whilst Sheffield basked in 90f + temperatures. Think I lost about a stone in weight that day due it being like a Sauna outdoors.
 



Similar to me Roker park with a gale blowing in off the North Sea was the coldest ,and Bramall Lane (was it Gillingham) it was unbearably hot.
However I have just see Buffalo Bills play New York jets in Buffalo in -14 and 18 inches of snow and I didnt work out how to work the heated seat until the last quarter.
 
Hottest: Blades 0-0 Gillingham 03/04 - first day of the season 30+oc.

Coldest: Derby 2-0 Blades 03/04 (I think) - must have been -7oc and it was freezing.
 
Hottest. Wolves away. Early season, Paul McGrath playing. 0-0. Sat, trapped, opposite the baking sun. Tried to get under the stand at HT just for some respite - no chance, already chokka with the redest faced Blades I've ever seen. Hideous.

Coldest. Watford away. FA Cup. Conceded five on an iced over pitch that would have been classed as unplayable now. Actually couldn't move it was that cold with ice forming on the barriers (standing alowed). Nightmare.
 
Hottest - Wembley last May if you were stuck in the Sun all afternoon

Coldest for me was Sunderland away (probably the one Brownie mentioned) so cold I broke my toe tripping up and didn't realise until the following day when I finally thawed out.
 
Hottest - a pre-season friendly away at Aldershot ('99 ish?), memorable for being 'kin boiling, and it was the first time I saw this tricky kid called Michael Tonge play.

Dunno what happened to 'im.
 
Hottest - Wembley last season sat in the sun all afternoon

Coldest - Away at Derby think someone has already said this game
Other grounds that are / were always cold were Roker Park and The Britannia Stadium
 
Highbury was cold when Andy Gray scored that last minute pen.
 
I would say Wembley last year looked very warm. I was on the side in the shade. I knew before the game started that we were done in, as the Terriers looked cool in the shade.

Coldest probably, Colchester away last season. I forgot to take my big coat and it was perishing.

Boxing Day 2001 away at Bradford sticks in my mind as being cold, but not as cold as the Derby away match mentioned above.

Ha ha - that was going into the underpass coming off the Wearmouth Bridge - although numbness was assisted by a good session in the Museum Vaults.

Newcastle away on a Tuesday night late 80's early 90's was also pretty dam cold.
 
Coldest -away at Coventry about 1972. The game was abandoned due to snow half way through the second half. I have never been as cold. There was no cover then. Was totally frozen and wet.
 
Coldest......Southampton not so long back (can't be arsed to find which year) The next day no one could get the screens on the cars clear....It was cold!

Also remember pre season at Inverness a few years back. Many blades turned up in tee shirts and buggered off to the pub at half time. Yes it was summer but it was like a Sheffield winter up there!

Wembley was fooking hot as already mentioned!
 



Hottest (Blades) - Wembley last year
Hottest (The Rest) - Atletico Madrid v Rayo Vallecano. 33degC at kick off. At 9pm.
Hottest (Others) Wakey v Bradford 2006. The game was 4 quarters rather than two halves so players could take on water. Wakey player Sid Domic collapsed through heat exhaustion and the stewards wandered round the ground handing out cups of water. Special mention must be made of a fat bastard from Bradford who consumed pie and peas followed by burger and chips.

Coldest (Blades) - Charlton away - the 5-2 win
Coldest (The Rest) Sunderland v Liverpool (abandoned h/t) 1985 or Hibs v Hearts New Years Derby 2010.
Coldest (Others) Oldham RLFC's old ground, The Watersheddings 1989. It hurt to breathe in.

wembley is my hottest and derby the coldest can't believe that game didnt get called off
 
yup the opening game v Gillingham was a scorcher and pitch side at Wembley the thermometers were saying over 100 degrees.
Coldest the game mentioned v Crewe, nearly pissed myself.......... my hands were too cold to undo the zip :eek:
 
Burnley away the first game of the season in around 04 was a hot one!
 
Hottest - too many to remember
Coldest - Derby away Warnock era. Year Pompey went up I think.
Was a midweek game which saw icicles on the seats and carpark like a skating rink.

I was at that Watford game. Bleeding freezing it was. A Watford fan I knew thought all us Blades were being very enthusiastic at 5-0 down with 20 minutes left all jumping up and down doing some early version of the baggies 'boing, boing!' Actually it was just to prevent our feet freezing solid to the ground, it really was that cold!

My dad said he could get tickets for the League Cup final between Stoke and Chelsea at Wembley in March 1972 but the problem was that the Blades were playing at Coventry on the same day. We had attended all the games so far at that point apart from the away games at Everton and Arsenal (we were on holidays at Ayr) also the League Cup 5-0 defeat at West Ham. So I decided on going to the game at Wembley. During half time at Wembley, the electric scoreboard announced that the Blades were winning 2-0 at Coventry (Dearden and Blockley og the scorers) and that at full time, the score was the same so we were going home thinking that the Blades had gained 2 points. When we stopped at a motorway service station, my dad bought the local Saturday evening paper (Leicester, I think) we had discovered that the Blades match at Highfield Road got abandoned due to a snowstorm! We did go to the re-arranged game at Highfield Road but we lost 3-2 and TC had a good goal disallowed near the end of the game (denying him a hat-trick). We missed only one more game that season which was the 2-0 midweek defeat at Chelsea
 
Hottest - in the blazing sun at Wembley last time.

Coldest - Southampton away the other year, Bristol a couple if years ago (following a snow plow for miles with Ballinpigpubs13 ), Charlton away 5-2, Derby away and most visits to Preston.
 
Hottest most definately Wembley last season.

I was pretty cold on Saturday although Crewe in 05/06 was cold. Think it was on Sky and we drew 0-0

How was it? I've been to see the International Series game at Wembley but I bet it doesn't compare to watching it over there.

Hottest is easily Wembley last season, just about the hottest I've ever been at all, never mind a football match! Coldest is a game against Preston probably 3 years ago.
 



It was amazing Guesty ,I loved it and am hooked. Hope the patriots win it now ,Tom Brady is something else.
