Mr Optimist Definitely Boundary Park aka Ice Station Zebra, a nickname that Joe Royle came up with.
I remember a Friday night away game there in 1986-87, we lost 4-0 on their plastic pitch. There was a bloke on the coach who left Reading in a t shirt, jeans, and espadrilles on his feet with no socks. After about ten minutes he thought he was going to die of hypothermia and sat the rest of the match out on the coach.

Oldham in September 94 was nearly as cold as Burnley the following January which barring, St Petersburg in the middle of winter, is the coldest I have ever been.

Angry Shed Sex Boundary Park. 1988. Horizontal Snow. It was a Friday. I got the train up with no way of getting back. Ended up on 4am train from Manchester back to London.
Uncovered terrace. Never known anything like it before or since.
And we got absolutely gubbed.

Went to both of those games too, Archie and the Osborne dinked goal at Oldham, and Nogan and a Scotty 25 yard screamer at Burnley? I think I was massively pissed at Burnley as I remember it possibly being called off for the pitch being frozen but we'd had a skinful in the cricket club with lashings of pie and peas and were bullet proof!

Pretty sure that was the 87 game Angry. I went the following season too and I am sure that was on a Saturday. Denny Fullbrook gave me and a mate a couple of "comps" that the coach oners used to hang around the players entrance to try and pick up (does this still happen?!).
We went by train that day on a go anywhere for a fiver type offer and definitely made it back in a day just about! Pretty sure we were grubbed again though, Friday or a Saturday, didn't make any difference, we were very bad that season, completely clueless.
