Remember an opening day vs either Forest or Palace that was really hot in mid 2000’s but doubt it would match today.

Palace in 2003? The day I found out why, after speaking to a couple of West Brom fans, the only comment they would make about our new goalkeeper was 'he s a big bloke'.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:00 amRemember an opening day vs either Forest or Palace that was really hot in mid 2000’s but doubt it would match today.

He was shocking that afternoon. The back four of Roche, Branch, Gnohere and Camara didn't inspire much confidence eitherHerts Clarets wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:05 amPalace in 2003?

That when Jay Rod scored? Don't recall that one but the one in August 2001 was absolutely ridiculous.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Was on the train for that one.

Think that Reid red card towards end sent them over the edge

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
It was. Referee Pugh had given them a penalty which he was then forced to overturn because the supposed offence was nowhere near being in the box. Reid, aided and abetted by their centre half with the ginger goatee, decided to have a word with said referee and was sent off. That seriously kicked things off, alongside the fact that we'd outplayed them all afternoon.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 11:25 amThink that Reid red card towards end sent them over the edge

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Well, we're supposed to have one of the fittest squads in the league, so it might be more of a problem for Watford than us. That said, we could have thunderstorms by then if the forecast is right. Game could be halted due to the lightning threat.

Yeah Jay scored, we went down with Accy Clarets and stopped in a pub owned by a Charlton fan, early October and we were there in shirts, shorts, sunglasses, was a scorching day.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 11:11 amThat when Jay Rod scored?

Went to the Watford game full of optimism with Waddle in charge. Left the game sunburnt and despondent that we didn't look a very good side.
Millwall I managed to sneak out before they locked the gates and kept my head down, mouth shut and walked to S Bermondsey station reading my programme. Thankfully I went to that game without colours, as I was meeting Mrs Herts and a couple of other Hammers for drinks in London that evening.
Palace was a dreadful performance, with our newly acquired keeper hardly covering himself in glory. First of many. Was that the game where a few people from the old board met in the Bridge and had their photos taken outside?

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
That opening day fixture at Watford away was the hottest I've ever experienced at any football match and I've been to quite a few games at Malaga over here on the Costa del Sol. The stand we were in was like a sauna, I remember I was struggling to breath at times. Happy Days.

Another one not at home but Oldham away under Waddle started in very hot conditions.
The weather matched all our moods that night.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Stockport away, in '96 I remember as being a hot one.
I remember two topless supporters sumo-wrestling at the foot of the terracing.
edit - same day as Man Utd lost 3-1 at Aston Villa and Alan Hansen gave his "never win anything with kids" speech.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
On the rare occasions when it was scorching on the Turf I remember the paint on the crush barriers on the Longside used to get extremely tacky like it was melting. Must have been cheap stuff! When the football was dreadful as a kid I used to enjoy peeling the layers off to see what colours were underneath!

I moved to London that day so we'd driven down in the morning, dropped all my stuff off at my flat and then drove to the ground so we were absolutely sweltering.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Don't recall a streaker or the scoreline. 0-0 or 1-0 loss rings a bell. Not a great match and I remember a lot of tension before the match, possibly a day when there was trouble between the two sets of fans.

The Palace home game must have been over 30 degrees at kick off. Remember Luton away in Heath’s first game in charge being a hot day.
Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
The streaker at Stockport must have been about 96/97. I was only young but can remember Andy Mutch scoring the winner in front of the Burnley end and taunting us afterwards.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Just going off topic slightly but high temperatures like today do nothing to support the idea of summer football. I think I'm right in saying Stan was a fan of it but personally I've never understood the clamour for it. That was a huge effort today but I wouldn't like to be at matches like that on a regular basis.

Re: Hottest match at Turf Moor
Stan did want a switch to summer football but it's not something I'd enjoy each year. I know, as I get older, there are days when it feels a bit too cold, but better that than watching games in weather like we've had today.Silkyskills1 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 9:22 pmJust going off topic slightly but high temperatures like today do nothing to support the idea of summer football.
