I was there for that one. We were 2-0 down and singing "call it off, call it off", then we got one back and were singing "keep it on, keep it on". We ended up losing 4-1, and you're right the roof did leak....Wettest was Walsall away at their old ground in mid week for a Naff Daff trophy or whatever it was called then and the guttering gave away above the away supporters and we were soaked to the skin and I drove all the way home absolutely drenched. I think we got well stuffed about 3-0 or some thing like that. I had to visit the doctor the next day to have my sanity checked out as to why I was there in the first place!
Wettest.....has to gillinham away about 20 odd years ago...crowny with a late leveller.
I dont feel the cold so cant help im afraid
Coldest: Definitely the FA Cup replay at Roots Hall against Bury a few years back. I've never wished a match to finish in 90 minutes so badly - however the match went to extra time and penalties (of which Dan Bentley saved 3 of Bury's and sent us through).
Think it was March sort of time as I seem to recall we were going for promotion.
1) Coldest
Has to be MK dons away at the national hockey stadium. Was a naff day in general but topped off with the fact it was literally Siberian temperatures. We lost, there was no where to drink and I think this was as cold as the UK has ever been
2) Wettest
Bristol Rovers away this season just gone. It literally rained the whole second half and there was almost no cover. My jeans were so wet I had to hand drier them off my legs once I got back to the hotel. My notes were soaked in my wallet and my socks and shoes I had to peel off me. Only positive from the night is I learnt that my K-Way jacket can survive a monsoon.
MK Dons away - cold wind and lost
Oxford away - chucked down, no roof and lost 5-0
Defo the foggiest on a mid week game that I got to, got in the ground and literally could not see the pitch from the main stand which we had been let into the bar just so we could refresh, witness the depth of sea fog and then have the almost 8 hour drive back to the Essex Riviera.Coldest for me was Grimsby I think in 1990 promotion season.
