Cold

Thermals (top, bottoms and socks), few long sleeve t-shirts, fleece, down jacket, hat and gloves. One of the perks of being skinny is that you don’t look like an oversized blimp when you layer up. The downside is that if you go anywhere with any kind of warmth, you’re fecked. :)
 
I was in the north stand and went to get up at half time and had lost the use of my legs :eek:
 
Compared to a Sunday fixture at Forest back in the eighties, yesterday was positively tropical. Clough sent his team out early after the break and they huddled together on the centre circle. Agreed, yesterday was just about as cold as it could get. Snow swirling about in the East. Took us a good hour to thaw out in the Red Lion, Marston. It was worth it.
 
Don’t think it was the coldest I’ve ever felt at breeze block ,purely because the wind was from the east so sheltered by the stand(and two rather large fans in front of me), have been a lot colder on a Tuesday night in the North Stand.
 
Not the coldest I've been at a home game but I didnt thaw out for a couple of hours ?
 
I remember the days of Division Two when we had Sunderland and Newcastle fans down in January. Whole crowd wearing t shirts and shorts. Lot of snow had fallen too
 
Fair play to all those that attended the"fridge" on Sat. Even with a season ticket it would have been easy to bottle out. We have a very committed fan base. long may it continue. (Never been colder during a half time break).

AND they were still in the "Black Boy" come midnight.

A Tuesday night home game v Macclesfield in the conf. sticks in my mind as v cold, and we lost 0-2. Away, I remember Forest (in the cup maybe?) and the open terrace at York in the Dennis Smith era on a midweek night.

York away midweek? Thats a long...........long........way home. A committed fan.
 
Grimsby away about 15 years ago on a friday night...reported at the time as -26 with the north sea wind chill

Another committed fan. Saturday afternoon was bad enough. Cracker from Rosie as I remember in the eighties.
 
The breeze block with its wind tunnel enhancing 3 stands is colder than a witches tit even on the hottest day of the year.

Layer up with thermals, animal skins and other polar expedition attire for any home game is good advice..... there's a rumour circulating that the stadium landlord is looking to cash in on the refrigerated conditions by hiring it out a storage unit to frozen food chain Iceland?
 
Hull away back in the mid nineties was brass monkeys, I was a teenager who didn’t see the point of wasting money on a coat as I never felt cold, so if I felt it then it must of been brassic.

The Kassam has its moments though, swear the blood in my legs froze Saturday, rarely got cold on the London road but it’s 10 to 12 games of risking frostbite at our delightful rental home.
