Oldgregg86 3619 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Coldest I remember was away at Wimbledon when we won promotion. Genuinely spent the last half an hour waiting for the whistle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My jeans were almost frozen solid by the end of the game & I could hardly walk down the steps in the BBE at the end because my knees were so cold - didn't help throwing away a 2-0 lead! I always used to scoff at people wearing thermals - I'm Northern, we're hard, they're for soft southern panisies. That game prompted my to go & buy a set for future games in freezing temperatures! I now don't care, I'm never being that cold again. If that makes me a soft southern shandy supping pansy, then so be it! 🥶😄 Being sat down doesn't help in that respect. Previously you could always move around a bit to keep warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's true. The AJBell watching Sale is freezing at the best of times but you can shift position if you're in the end stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bazza 1730 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 An evening game around Xmas sometime in the 1990s I think was the coldest for me. Minus 5 sticks in my mind but it must have been closer to minus 10. A friend of ours who didn't follow football came with us. He was on holiday from his job in Saudi Arabia. I nearly died of cold. He didn't complain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

only2garners 1788 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Certainly Oldham for me. I remember a game on a Friday night with my lads who would have been quite young so early 90s would fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Rover 168 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Wimbledon away in the League One season is genuinely the coldest I have ever been in my life. Was during the "Beast from the East", think it was about -5c but felt more like -10c with the wind chill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Riverside under the drip 341 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) This is the first time 'Bradley' or 'Dack' has appeared this page! Lads, there's a nostalgia thread for all things 20th Century Rovers! Is it just me or does anyone else still not know where Dack is supposed to play in this system? There doesn't seem to be a place for a goal-scoring #10 other than starting way too far back... Edited January 27 by Riverside under the drip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was bitterly cold, certainly the coldest have been watching Rovers but a few weeks earlier we were scheduled to play Gillingham away and the game was called off a few hours before. We were on the train to London when we heard and had a scheduled return so we scoured the games on in London and decided to go to Barnet v Wycombe. That was seriously cold and it was only on the train back that I got some feeling back in my extremeties. 😃😃😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
