Coldest ground

[alwaysblue]

Pittodrie stadium home of Aberdeen. Saw a few games when I lived up there and it can be absolutely baltic when you get a breeze of the North Sea.

Totally agree. Never been so cold. My wife and I had free tickets and left at HT. 0-1 to Ross. Got to the car to drive home and heard them cheer in two goals.

Got back to the house to catch the last 20 v Bournemouth with us two up. Stanislas equalised, then oh how I cheered the Ross Barkley goal on 95 minutes. Stanislas delivered an almighty kick to the nads on 98.

The coldest in England in my opinion is Oldham. I think it has the highest altitude in the country? And the stands are exposed.

Absolutely freezing.

West Brom has the highest altitude with Oldham second although forest Green are claiming it now

Definitely AZ Alkmaar. Minus 8 if I recall correctly. Followed by Grimsby. Not only freezing but absolutely stunk of fish.

 

[Sharpies volley]

The old Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough.

Bleak, unfriendly natives, and situated by the pongs of an ICI factory.

I attended a winter night game, probably in the Gordon Lee era.

We lost as well.

Think Andy Gray in his book Shades of Gray. Said he hated it too.

Stoke

It’s always Stoke

What's the coldest ground you been to?, would have to say Boundary Park, Oldham for myself .

Even Joe Royle called it Ice Station Zebra.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Holker street in Barrow. Absolutely freezing every time I've been there. Also never seen so many children smoking.

They set fire to their own kids there just to keep warm.

Augsburg 2012, the beer was frozen on the rail.

….went for that FA Cup game when we drew on the plastic, it belted down all afternoon with no roof on the stand so will join you with that one.

As a player, was due to play a cup game at Penrith Town but the game was called off and quickly re-arranged on top of Shap. The weather so bad, when it ended in a draw the players ran to the dressing room and stayed until called to take a penalty in the shoot-out.

I’ve played there twice and both times it was the coldest I have ever been on the pitch.

A league cup game at West Ham(Yakubu winner) was absolutely Baltic and a Xmas game against Leeds when Kanchelskis scored was “fetching” cold as well.

Bray Wanderers in a friendly years ago was cold.

Jericho Lane Sunday league years ago was no picnic in winter either.

I must be the only person to have ever got a suntan at Oldham.
We played pre season a few years ago and the sun was facing right at us all game, I ended up like Mr. Beetroot, head well and truly boiled.

 

[April1970]

I nearly succumbed to frostbite at Saltergate, the old Chesterfield ground, when my cousin persuaded me go with him and see a match on a January Tuesday evening. The home team conceded in the first 3 minutes and that ended the night’s excitement.
