Another committed fan. Saturday afternoon was bad enough. Cracker from Rosie as I remember in the eighties.Grimsby away about 15 years ago on a friday night...reported at the time as -26 with the north sea wind chill
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.
Was that York game when we scored 2 in the last few minutes after going 1 down...or is my mind playing tricks on me ?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.
We lost this match 0-1 at Bootham Crescent, but on the following Saturday we played Carlisle away. (I stayed 'up north' for these 2 matches) The Carlisle match was where we were 1 nil down with time running out and Martin Aldridge scored along with a stunner from Matty Elliot. I think we were unbeaten to the end of the season from there, including beating the scum at the Manor, and almost pipped them for the title.

Salisbury away, Boxing Day 2008 (I think). Wilder’s first game. Thought my feet were going to fall off it was so cold.
