Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

More bad equipment than bad weather for me. Went to school and at lunchtime my mate said fancy going to Sheff Utd away tonight. We bunked off school. I dumped my school blazer and tie with my mother at work and jumped on Supporters Coach in a thin white shirt. It was early March and fine in Caerphilly at 1pm but absolutely bitter on the Bramall Lane terrace in the evening. Lost 3-0 to boot!

Against Oldham in the cup there was a hail storm and the ref blew up early for half time.

Aldershot in about 1990 was the coldest I can remember. Was a Friday night and lost 3-1. Had a seat in the grandstand and it took a while to straighten up again afterwards.

Barry Vs Aberdeen in 96 springs to mind. One of the coldest was our 1-0 over Bristol City at home when we were last promoted.

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

I wouldn't say it was the worst ever, as it probably had been a nice summers evening but I remember a pre-season friendly against Ajax and there was a pretty epic downpour and everyone ran from the Bob bank lower up into the seats, which hadn't been opened that night.

Burton away under Trollope was pretty bad as I recall

The weather matching the occasion

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Was that home? Dont remember that one.

Yes. I’m sure it was 65/66 but may have been 67. No earlier and no later. Got a bloody soaking afterwards.

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

That Southampton game, the last season at Ninian Park was the wettest I've ever been to. I was stood on the Bob drenched and the game hadn't even kicked off
Got back to my car, stripped off to my boxers (not a pretty sight) and drove home like it.

That was August as well

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Bristol Rovers away around 94/95. Open terrace and monsoon weather. Soaked through to the boxer shorts

Think we lost 2-1 and announcement on tannoy to say there was a special train being laid on to take us back to Cardiff so we would be back in time for the rugby 😐

The neighbours didn't look that impressed when I rocked up in a pair of steaming Calvins

Tottenham in the cup at NP.
Sunday afternoon all huddled together on the bob Bank getting soaked through. If David Attenborough was there he would have likened it to a colony of penguins trying to shelter each other from the cold and wet.

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Wigan away at their old ground (Springfield Park??)

Think it finished 3-1 with Steve Flack scoring. Open topped away end and the stewards said we could go in the covered grandstand with about 20 minutes left.

Nobody bothered because we were all soaked to the bone by then
