Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

City v Hull 2001 on a Friday night, which we won 2-0 after Hull had a player sent off. It was Baltic with the temperature dropping to -4. Got back into town still frozen, only to see girls with barely anything on queuing outside some pub/club. Made me feel quite wimpish.

Yep, I was thinking of that one too. Another was Derby away, cant remember what year.

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.

I was going to post this very thing, the game which gave them Three Little Birds

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 😐

Game against the Jacks at Ninian, maybe mid 90’s. Dai Thomas was playing for them and scored and one of our fans tried to snap the crossbar. Don’t think I’ve ever been that cold at a football match in my life.

Yes that’s the one. Played them there a couple of times.

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!

Days like that will forever stay in your long-term memory. I can imagine how cold you must have been wearing a polyester (probably?) shirt in the evening up at Sheffield. :hehe:

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Jacks at home in that Autowindscreens game.

That’s the first thing that popped into my mind.
Just arrived from Australian summer.
Absolutely drenched and the wind cutting like a knife.
It had to go to extra time as well!
Took my nephews down for their first game,
No wonder they’re both plastics now.:hehe:

Queuing outside Twerton Park in a monsoon!

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

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

I’d imagine Calvin wasn’t impressed either

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

Wettest - MK Dons in Nov 2003 at the Hockey Stadium, the soaking that night left me with a cold for two weeks.
Coldest - Arsenal in Jan 2019, my feet were so cold it felt like I was walking on two big ice cubes at the end of my legs to the Underground after the game.

Re: Worst weather you've been watching Cardiff

The coldest was the midweek game at Northampton during the 90's i think. I sat in the car after the game with the heater on for about half an hour to just to thaw out.
