Blackpool away, Feb 2008, Dickov scored 90th minute for them to win 2-1.  Freezing, and wind coming in off the North Sea, temporary stand with no roof. 

I don't remember it being that cold.   But the wind was terrible and badly affected the game.

 

Blackpool had cleared, but hadn't yet rebuilt their South Stand.   So there was nothing to block the Southerly/South-Westerly wind.   The game was horrendously affected by the strong wind.   And for good measure, they scored a last minute winner.    Ah great days .....

I don't get to as many away games as I'd like to, but Sheffield Wednesday away last season was bloody freezing

The loss against Huddersfield in the FA Cup 4th round replay in 2013. My legs were so cold I struggled to walk for about 10 minutes after the game.

This was the game I was referring to too.

Randomly when we played spurs at home in the title winning season, it was a cup game and I remember that being absolutely Baltic.

The thread made me think of old Motty bless him

Oldham away in league 1

1-1 our goal scorer none other than SSH

[snoopy87]

Wigan away 04/05 season. That cold up there I couldn't hold my beer on the concourse. Amazing meat and tatty pie though!

[Foxmeister]

Does anyone remember the bizarre story from the early 80s when we had a player on loan, when we were playing at Brighton (I think)? He was subbed off at half-time and a rumour went around our end saying the players had had a bath to thaw out during the break and his toe had fallen off. 🤣🤣

Bournemouth at home a few years back was horrific.

Still to this day I'll never understand how this game went ahead regardless of it being on Sky.

I managed to get to it from outside the city but it definitely should have been called off. Mainly due to the fact local radio were actively telling fans not to come to the ground.

 

Still think that was the main reason was that rather than the actual conditions. Wasn't bad enough to stop 20,000 people going.

Coalville gets hit one of the worst in the county from snow. I remember a lorry had overturned at J22 roundabout which stopped a lot of folk from that way making it

Chelsea in the FA Cup at home a few years ago was freezing and it went to extra time.

Hull away in December 2007, year we got relegated and they got promoted. We lost 2-0 in December. It was absolutely baltic. Truly awful, got to be about the worst away I've ever done.

That was the last day of my stag do and I remember just wanting to cry I was so cold and hungover. Didn't even go the game, was shivering on a bus back from up north wishing I could just pass away peacefully there and then 😂😂😂

[dooflip]

That middlesborough game in the snow is memorable. Though the coldness was largely due to being soaked wet through.

That was one of the lowest away turnouts in modern times.    It was quoted as 314 away fans.    I've never seen a lower quoted number for a competitive away match.

(the LCFC programme used to quote away attendances from about 2002, until some time ago.)

That FACup night at Barnsley 93

Foolishly didn’t take a coat as I wanted to show off my new The Fox Fanzine drill top

Julian’s goal was pure magic but I nearly wept with cold when we lost on pennos

Oakwell. Fxcking cold 

[burleighfox]

Pretty much every game this season has left me feeling dead inside, that’s rather cold.
