I'd not spotted that. You must have a keener eye than me.Good write up, did anyone else notice when play had stopped think Kelly, that Taylor spoke to Easty where he wanted the ball from goal kicks ? And what followed ball straight to Taylor who miss controlled resulting in Burtons goal. Just an observation.
Probably in the archives somewhere.The coldest I’ve been was at Port Vale (old ground) in the late 80s standing on the open terrace with my five year old, while everyone else was in the pub keeping warm. The guy next to me was turning blue with the cold. I even wrote an article about it for the old Raging Bull fanzine.
Away at Histon in the Conf for me. I couldn't feel my feet after about 20 minutes, and the cold just seeped up my legs... Makes me shiver thinking about it even now!The coldest I’ve been was at Port Vale (old ground) in the late 80s standing on the open terrace with my five year old, while everyone else was in the pub keeping warm.

Yes, I think we've all been caught out like that a few times - not least at Grenoble Road, where it sometimes seems to have its own Arctic micro-climate. The thing about Histon was that I knew it was going to be cold, so I had Martens, two pairs of socks, long johns, thick jeans and multiple layers on the top half plus gloves, scarf and hat. Didn't help!Cold is relative though.
I went to Exeter away a couple of years ago (evening game, can’t remember when but it wasn’t summer) only had a tshirt, thin jacket and trousers on...
Further to Boothferry, it was when the away end was the overhang from a supermarket.

The one and only time I went to Boothferry it wasn't cold but there were just as many Sunderland fans there as there were Oxford cos David Rush was playing for us. Oh, and it was the game when they brought on the sub goalie as an outfield player and in typical f*****g Oxford fashion, he scored.Further to Boothferry, it was when the away end was the overhang from a supermarket.

Ah, memory of Hull away in 1983/84, Tuesday night in late February, we won 1-0 with a Mick Vintner goal.Further to Boothferry, it was when the away end was the overhang from a supermarket.

Remember those three. Was at them all. We won at Sheff Utd but think we drew 2-2 at Bradford.Ah, memory of Hull away in 1983/84, Tuesday night in late February, we won 1-0 with a Mick Vintner goal.
We played 3 away games, Hull, Bradford, Sheffield United in 7 days on our march to the Div 3 title.
