Fine effort in the superfan status but I note the stadium has a roof, so you'll not be joining the hardcore who stood on the open Oldham terrace in torrential rain in the early 90s and saw us lose 4-0...
TRWTD - anyone else remember it?

Around the same time there was a match at Swindon with the open terrace which was biblical.

Got thrown head first down a flight of stairs by a bouncer in a Stockport nightclub back in the day.

There was also an open terrace at the Manor Ground, Oxford one year, that I remember getting absolutely drenched through to the skin on, but can't remember which year that was. |  |

I can't remember if it was Ipswich I was watching but I watched MK Dons play someone when they were at the old hockey stadium. Certainly felt like it was hammering it down, was bloody drenched. |  |

Or QPR away 1967-68 - open terrace, torrential rain and lost 1-0 to a Rodney Marsh goal.
Or Palace away in the same season when I got all the way to the ground in heavy rain and it was a late postponement. [Post edited 20 Oct 2023 16:38]

Was it Watford or Cambridge where we entered the away end via a group of allotments? Had been pssing it down and was basically a quagmire (Mid/late 80s)
Not too dissimilar for the Cup game last year at Bracknall last year tbf, plenty of fans with mud on their pristine white trainers :-) | |

Two cracking saves from Richard Wright and Kieron running through and chipping the keeper for the goal made that very worthwhile.
Play-off semi final at Bramall Lane was very wet too, wasn't much cover in the lower tier. |  |

Was that the one when Micky Stockwell got the equaliser? Don't remember it being particularly wet but it was a long time ago.
Can confirm it currently is very wet in the Bramall Lane area as my son's at university in Sheffield and lives approx. 100 metres from the ground. |  | | |

The only proper conclusion to this thread requires reference to Portsmouth in late 80s early 90s. The game was stopped because the rain was so hard players could not see if facing into it.
We sheltered behind a three foot wall at the front of the terrace and huddled around lighters for warmth. | | | |

Oh yeah, thinking through matches where I had gotten soaked and forgot the one a year and a half ago. | |

Pah, a cushy number that, compared with Grimsby away on an open terrace at night in a biblically lashing deluge watching us get carved open by Steve Kabba 0-3, & dear old George Burley was gone next day  |  |

Yeah, was wet before the match and for most of the first half. I just remember being soaked, 1-0 down and still non-stop singing from Town fans.
There's now way that was 26 years ago.... | |
