****ing hell, early start for me as I am allowing at least 7 hours for the drive up!!! Last time it was like this I had to turn round at Brackley as the black ice was getting worse. It took me over half a mile to stop when in the distance I saw red flares across the road. I managed to stop in a straight line, got out of the car and promptly fell on my arse. A copper was trying to stop all of the cars, but even a couple of trucks sailed past and headed straight into the ditches. I asked him if there was anything I could do to help and he just said to try to get down the road and round the roundabout, then head back the way had had come from. In a two mile stretch there must have been 40 cars stuck in shallow ditches and on the verges.
Driving in the snow and ice doesn't bother me, other drivers do.
So my bags are packed with my artic thermals (special stuff that I use for winter scuba diving).
Now Canada Tiger and Stockholm will say, no need. But I aint getting cold if I get stuck because the snow is 10mm deep and its -4 and there are bound to be twats who think that it will be ok to zoom along as if it isn't a winter storm.
I have a weekend pass and have to make the most of it... even if I only get to Banbury! Mind you.. if I get there my lad has a Mk2 Landrover and he lives around there ATM.

Safe journey and can we assume that your better half has perked up since last week?

I was set to come on a one day trip tomorrow but the trains are in chaos up here and East Coast trains are off due to high winds between Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Hopefully a good result for the journey home will make the trip worthwhile for you:emoticon-0148-yes:

It doesn’t seem that long ago, but probably was, nothing wrong with the pitch, but Plod decided people were to delicate to get into the stadium, how the **** we all got to work, school shops etc.

Was one game at BP in the early 90s. Think it was Fulham in Div 3 or 4.

Snow was lying 15 mins in and through the blizzard, all you could see of the opposition was a pair of red shorts dancing around.

All the first half we were chanting for an orange ball. The ground staff cleared the lines at half time but same story second half 'til with 20 mins to go they chucked on an orange ball to rapturous applause.

Cant remember the score, but that tin of heinz chicken soup and cooplands bun me mam had ready for me walking through the door was like the sweetest nectar from the god of all gods.

Thats why mums are ****ing ace.

Just well enough to be left for a few hours. Our daughter is coming round later and will stay the night.
To be honest, as long as I can get to “Hull and back” I will be happy.

Birmingham away a couple of seasons back was bad. There was a snow storm blowing right into the faces of the City fans mid way through the first half. It was like the Arctic for about 20 minutes and we all thought the game would be abandoned. You couldn't see the other half of the pitch and it felt like minus 10 stood there. Also the Runcorn Cup replay played at Witton Albion ? was another freezing cold night with a freezing fog engulfing the ground all night. Someone said it was minus something or another that night too. Open terracing too. Be like summer tomorrow in comparison to those two.

I went to that. We were getting humped 3 or 4 nil so me and my mate sacked it off and went and sat on the coach for the last 20 minutes.

Almost total whiteout on the journey back to to Darleys.

Was that the Chelsea game around New year 2010 . Think that was called off on the Friday. The roads that night were awful and think the buses stopped running early evening.

Remember going to Boro a few seasons ago - went in the Australian Bar in town before the game - whilst we were in there it started to snow and soon turned to a blizzard - at least the match was played even though snow was all over the pitch

All our yesterday's
Anyone go to Mk Don's at the hockey stadium? A freezing cold February night. Sat in the open end with snow flurries and a wicked wind chill. About 400 City fans all huddled together behind the goal, like Penguins sheltering from a storm in David Attenborough's Frozen series.
That's the coldest I can recall.

I was there. Didn’t know we had scored until the players were celebrating as it was so difficult to see the opposite end at times.

Recall it well. Peering through the icey mist. Delroy Facey scored late on, their fan(s) went ballistic, claiming offside. I uncurled myself from the terrace. Brushed the snow and ice off. Got onto the coach, pronto, and thawed out. The feeling came back to my feet and hands around Leicester.

I get this. Let me be even clearer, I know by sight almost everyone of my generation who supported City at our lowest points in the early 80's and mid 90's. Its not that difficult as we were down to 3K at BP and just 2 coaches going away. I put these loyals at the top of my personal hierarchy regardless of whether they still go home & away, support less than they used to or still boycott home games, my respect for all of them remains of the utmost regard. I know Karl Berg, would I know you Sir Ben? Obviously new younger supporters should also be respected and encouraged, I just don't recognise all of them.

I knew that karlberg character too. A right dodgy bastard If I remember correctly.

Horrible team with horrible supporters .. they'll come and play their usual bullying style, need to stand up to the test, not sure who will be available, but the current 352 formation has to be given another go, gives us more bodies in the engine room and allows our midfield and defence not to be overrun. Head says scrappy defeat, heart hopes to get another win.

They call it “The Lab” at the hospital I go to.

I have a history of doing subconscious daft thongs when coming round from general anaesthesia.

Sitting up & waving to everyone
Miming putting on lipstick
Giving the middle finger
Having a piss but insisting I do it all myself.

No recollection of any of it.

I’m the same when pissed, think that’s the real reason they’ve said no boozing.

****ing weirdo

The Chelsea game that year was eventually played acouple of months later . I seem to recall it the first match after John Terry had been outed as a rat who had been having a bit extra with Wayne Bridge's wife and our crowd reminded him . Mouyocolo scored for us in a one each encounter.
