Ian Olney did he have hair

Think he had a Charlie haircut when he was at Villa?

coldest I remember at the Ricoh I think was against Crewe 1-1 draw
a night game had been snowing and was well below freezing
Doyle had been sent off - Page went off injured after having used 3 subs and then there was an issue with one of our injured players (Duffy?) not being allowed back onto the pitch after they had gone off for treatment - so we were effectively playing with 8 players only for Crewe to equalise well into stoppage time

just looked 28 December 2005 - looking at the temp state for that day was around -5 C without the windchill

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I remember Andy Richie scored for Oldham against but he wasn't blessed with a lot of hair

Not him

 

[rhino1002]

I know it's not a general rule, but I recall standing on the South Bank at Molineux in the mid-sixties (or slightly after), and there were an awful lot of us.

i remember standing on the south bank in 1972 FA cup quarter final with about 12000 city fans

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I went to the Norwich away game where we had dozens of coaches on a midweek fixture, I think the club may have paid for them or heavily subsidised them. I think it was a cup game?

 

[Robccfc87]

Went inside for a piss it was blue sky and sunny, came out and it was 3 inches of snow everywhere. One long piss!

I must’ve been in there with you, my memory exactly!!

i remember standing on the south bank in 1972 FA cup quarter final with about 12000 city fans

it was 1973 and a horrible day all said and done and a pathetic end of season thereafter including a 3-0:drubbing at St Andrews the next week with less than 500 fans there.

We played Oldham twice in a season midweek maybe in 93/94, drew 1-1 in league and lost 2 or 3-0 in league cup and Wegerle was sent off. CCFC put on loads of coaches for cup game at a reduced price and the driver of the 1 I was on thought Oldham was near Liverpool until I told him he was going the wrong way!! It's always cold at Boundary Park, I think it is highest above sea level English ground.

It's the second highest, strangely enough the Hawthorns is the highest.

Boundary Park is really exposed though, I lived not too far away from there for 12 years. It was always at least 2c cooler in Oldham 8 miles away than it was in Manchester city centre.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Me too wow memories
Was it 2-0 and a tall permed lad not Ian Marshall up front for them. What was his name

Craig Fleming had a tanned look, he looked a bit like Robert Rosario

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

i remember standing on the south bank in 1972 FA cup quarter final with about 12000 city fans

I was at that one. We had the whole end . I thought it was more like 20,000
Derek Dougan got knocked out in the pre match warm up

Yeah i remember it, FA Cup 3rd round reply mid 90's.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Coldest was Stoke City . My son played against Stoke in the morning , in the same team as James Collins (there's a claim to fame) and we all went on the watch Stoke v Cov in the afternoon. Coldest day of my life but rewarded by Jay Bothroyd having his best game ever in a Cov shirt.

 

[Alex1987]

on General Sale today I think. Interesting to see whether we get close to shifting the 3700 today.

I cant see us passing this extra 1000 full stop. Anywhere close to 3700 is still brilliant though considering where it is.

yes you're correct 17th march 1973 I'm getting old and memory giving up

Were you holding it for him? Might explain why he took so long

Notable cold games, Wycombe away midweek a couple or so years ago -7degs and the MK Dons game away at the old Hockey stadium...

Carlisle away few years ago was freezing, also is way above sea level like Oldham too.

 

[larry_david]

I'm in!

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

The MK Dons hockey stadium game is about as cold as I remember being at. Don't think it was the cold temperature in itself, but rather the biting Arctic wind that did for us that day.

 

[Evo1883]

Ticket office said we hadn't sold many of the further 1000 before general went up at 10AM . 3500 at best I feel , which is still incredible support


Picked up my Preston tickets this morning too

Was just about to post that! It was freezing, certainly the coldest I remember and I've never seen so many fans huddling together for warmth. Felt like an ice hockey stadium.

Anyone changing trains or in Manchester beforehand, theres a fair few of us meeting at SinclAirs Oyster Bar at 11am. 5 minute walk to Victoria for the 1pm train to Blackburn.

Unfortunately changing at Preston, didn't know we could go via Manchester and would have preferred that for a couple of beers first.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Won 2-1? Speedie double. including goal of the season. Think that was 88 though

I remember that one. He wouldn't let Duffy back on for an age even though he was screaming at him. Must have been on the sideline for at least 5 minutes ready to come back.

 

[Samo]

Oldham away in the cup circa '78. (Could be wrong on date)
All the way there in a mates clapped out motor with no heater. I was frozen before I got into the fucking ground.

 

[theferret]

I remember standing on the open terrace at Burnden Park against Bolton in the mid 90s. It was New Year iirc, think we won too, and I remember being as cold as I have ever been at a game of football. Patches of ice all over the terracing. Proper ground though.

 

[mark82]

Colder than Wycombe midweek away couple years ago?

Not sure that's possible.

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure that's possible.

It was bad -8 inside the ground

 

[mark82]

Always find Barnsley cold with the wind coming through the gap. Even felt cold earlier this season when it was warm.

 

[mark82]

I've still got a picture on my phone somewhere of the temperature display on my car after the game.

Had its own supermarket

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Had its own supermarket

Yep

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

That was the coldest game I can remember being at. My sons mate decided to get a bottle of coke at half time like he always did. It didn't register with him that he could have a hot drink instead.
Another that was really cold was away vs Sunderland in the early 90's. It was December/January (and there weren't more than a couple of hundred city fans there).
