Maxwelltownjambo Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Agree with mentions for Željezničar and Basle and Fir Park in 1986. Also an honourable mention for a Scottish Cup tie at Shielfield in January 2001, we were practically back home before I could feel my toes.
LogicalEric Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Remember we played Celtic at one of those Sky 1805 kick offs December 1998. 4 layers on and it was still baltic!
bobby bombscare Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) Canny mind the year exactly (around the 2000's), we were away to Dunfermline, I was about 8 years old. Started greeting to my old man it was too cold he bought me a pie and himself a cuppa at half time and it hurt to hold the pie my hands were that cold. It must have been about negative 10 cause to this day he's never bought me a pie again! 😂 miserable sod! Was a cracking pie though! Never been so glad to get the heater on in the car!

WheatfieldWarrior Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Ross County at home during the Locke season. Bitter cold and no hot water in the loos.
SwindonJambo Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The final derby of the 20th century at Tynie, just before Christmas on a bitterly freezing cold Sunday night. The less said about the game, the better. I was right at the back of the Wheatfield and the utterly dire football probably made it feel even colder. Think we had 2/3 debutants that night as JJ blew the SMG cash, with only Anti Niemi really proving worthwhile. Fitzroy Simpson was hooked at halftime. I actually saw his professional debut for Swindon 11 years earlier!
brownkg Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Clydebank with the breeze block benches and planks of 8by2 as seating. Wind howling all around the open plan "stadium"
Canscot Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Coldest game I ever attended was not a Hearts game. It was a Canadian Football League game many moons ago. It was -18c in November. I was all happed up in my parka and winter boots etc. There were crazies who were shirtless (and shit faced) in the stands.
section s heart Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Open terracing at Pittodrie in about 1975, 0-0 draw. Can't remember if I didn't have enough layers on, but it was officially baltic.
John Findlay Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Quite a few the winter of 78/79, when not postponed.
leipzig76 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 12/01/1980 Stirling Albion we won 1-0 - Rab Stewart 89th minute.It was cold in Edinburgh and freezing in Stirling but not half as cold as the "Football Special" train there and back !

Hashimoto Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Arbroath 0-7 Hearts. Back in the day when a player got a case of whisky for scoring a hat trick, we had two that day! The wind was howling off the North Sea. Just another absolute bitter cold day.
boag1874 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Alloa away in 14/15 - beat them 4-1, Pallardo scored a peach. ****ing freezing.
