    Been many times to Oldham and Odsal when it was very cold and wet. However, I think the coldest and most uncomfortable I've felt was actually at Valley Parade about 3 years ago against Walsall. Somehow the freezing rain managed to soak me at the back of the lower kop and I spent the entire 2nd half stood up

    Remember being at the Don Valley Stadium Sheffield to watch City play Rotherham.
    Ranks has one of the coldest experiences I've ever had sat out in the open with no shelter at all,in what I can only describe as sub zero temperature's.
    Amusingly some Bradford fans ran around the running track followed by stewards.

    Young 'uns should watch this then imagine standing on snow on an open Kop for a night match and it's windy and snowing - or worse, icy rain. It used to happen often enough. We used to be entertained every now and then by somebody slipping down the compacted snow on the steps and trying to grab a crush barrier stanchion to stop themselves hitting the bottom. Also you had to watch out for snowballs from away fans that weren't always just snow!
