Him and Nathan Roe who write the stories each year need packing off to the artic where they can **** themselves silly with all the snow 100% agree.

Midred Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I like it when the bbc morning forecast tells me that rain will be moving up to the midlands later on and I know it's been raining in the midlands all night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City wore revolutionary new dimpled boots designed for Arctic conditions. We slid to a 4-0 defeat . Went to WBA in late ‘70s on a Boxing Day, it was the only game on in the country, lost 3-1 after being 1 up at h/t, Regis, Cunningham and Robson at their peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivieraRed Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Enjoy... I remember going to Orient in the 80's, being charged full price after turning up at HT (the train broke down), snowball fight with the locals then Swindon being chased off by Divy... great day...

It reduced the quality of the football played but, somehow, increased the entertainment value. I remember watching City play Spurs on a frozen pitch when Gerry Gow spent the entire match trying to kick Ossie Ardiles. He failed miserably as Ossie could keep his balance on the ice and Gerry couldn’t Ardiles and Vila were the only two players who really handled the conditions that day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a snow bomb anyway? Do they mean snow, falling from the sky, from a cloud, when it's cold, as nature intended? With my " conspiracy" head on ,there is no profit (consumer wise) in saying that the summer is going to be meh, and likewise the winter. Who's going to rush out and get new BBQs or winter wear and sledges ? How much are the forecasters paid in backhanders to "alarm" the population ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was WBA who had the "moon boots", THEN we invested in some, seem to remember a big article in EP about it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
