Mansfield Town away late 80s. Driving sleet/ snow in an open away end. Think we won 1-0? (Duffield pen?) Think it took a week to chisel the ice off me
Is that when the car park was like a skating rink?Derby away 2004, without any doubts for me.
It was definitely MUCH colder in the 70's before they invented greenhouse gasses....Ur all pussys Sunday mornings on the old fucking pitches we used to have turn up on in the 70,s
I think it was crewe at the lane?Bobby Ford era.Friday night methinks on sky,Pissing it down with snow, touch and go wether it was going ahead,sat warm and cosy in the Birley hoping it was called off when the old man pulled up for my lift.
The conditions where awful.we used to sit on the front row of the family enclosure then when my mam was a regular .
It was fucking bleak.
Think it ended nil nil aswell.
We got all the way to the ground at the original fixture not knowing the downpour had called it off. I’ll always remember the January game for the wrong reasons. The roads and paths were treacherous and our good mood after the game disintegrated when an old Derby fan in his 70s/80s slipped and hit the path face first. The sickest I’ve ever felt after a victory
Always extremely cold : Blundell ParkAlways cold ...... Boothferry Park
seemed cold ..... Roker Park
absolute zero .... Belle Vue, Doncaster ..... Rovers v. someone like Northampton Town in the mid to early 1970s ..... the crowd sorted itself into two parallel lines all around the terraces (I know parallel lines are always and only straight btw). It was the lowest crowd ever in Doncaster, something like 891.

The North Pole v South Pole derby was a bit chilly.
AND I've just remembered, QPR at Loftus Road, a night match (early 2000s?) .... Crouch was 19 and played his first game against us ..... perishing.
Spot on. I think I’m confusing it with the 05/06 promotion season when Akinbyi scores the only goal?It wasn't a Bobby Ford era game - twas in our promotion season under Warnock and is the coldest I have been at the lane. It was 0 0 - We should have had a pen for a clear foul on Aki biyi but because he tried to stay on his feet the ref didnt give it.
We had several cold Derby away games as Pride Park is high up outside is windy as fuck but THE cold un Rodders refers to ended in a 2 nowt defeat. We were awful, paddy fucked up.to.allow Izale McCloud to score their second and I know Derby fans who remember that game because of how cold it was. Coldest by far.
One of the coldest nights I can remember in London and I've lived there for fifteen years now.There is a theme which is North Sea related isn't there.
Just another one, Baseball Ground away, I'm thinking early 1990s ? I'm going by the theory, "it''s too cold to snow", I reckon the really cold days are dry

A liberal smearing of the chemist’s “Chilli-paste” on the old legs helped....just had to be careful around the floppy bits area..Ur all pussys Sunday mornings on the old fucking pitches we used to have turn up on in the 70,s
Derby away Jan 2004 - worse conditions than the original postponed game.
Smith leg break at home to Preston in a 3 1 win at the Lane.I was there too.. one side of me was white with snow. Even the car was shivering on the way home. Was that the game Brian Smith broke his leg, or am I thinking of another game v MTFC??
The header from Stancliffe was a cracker.It was Simon Webster that broke his leg at Mansfield, but in the cup game earlier in the season. Ironically that’s why we bought Booker, whose reputation changed in the league game at Mansfield.
Brian Smith broke his leg in a home game. I think it was against Preston. Stancliffe later scored one of the phenomenal own goals I’ve ever seen.
Yes it was , I saw him do it. As an exercise in short termism I think it remains unmatched.Wasn't that the one where some Blade was pouring hot water in his trainers at HT?
It was fucking freezing, with only a chain link fence to shelter from the driving sleet. Took a week to dry out my new leather jacket. Stoke in December is like going to Fiji in summer in comparison, although it is indeed a windswept soulless shithole.Mansfield Town away late 80s. Driving sleet/ snow in an open away end.

Aah memories, the Sunday morning Morris dance next to the hedge after handling ones crown jewels having a piss forgetting about the deep heat still on your handsA liberal smearing of the chemist’s “Chilli-paste” on the old legs helped....just had to be careful around the floppy bits area..
Southampton away in the season we went up to the Prem. Shipps put in a right shift that night, I'm pretty certain we could see ice forming on the advertising boards.
