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...

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

I was at that one. I can't remember which result that was, but I saw us there I think three seasons in a row from 89 and each time was miserable. I don't think I saw us win and we got thumped once. Glenn Hoddle was player manager for 91-92 (I went twice that year, for us and Watford).
There was some real biblical weather in that 89-90 season. Oldham as in the OP, was horrendous. Not helped by seeing us collapse to a 4-1 defeat on the plastic.
I also recall Port Vale NYD 0-5 and Pompey which was interrupted for 10 mins due to hailstones the size of golf balls and a swirling wind. At least we won that Pompey game, and several of us got even wetter by falling to the ground in the limbs at Dozzell's winner.

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 :-)
Milk Cup 86'.

Personally I ran up and down the terrace, without falling over.
