Hottest Game you've ever been to?

A couple already mentioned, I remember Darlington away last game of the season when we got into the playoffs in our promotion season under Steve McMahon being an absolute scorcher.

We travelled without tickets that day and took several modes of transport, including car, bus and train. En-route we found out they'd made more tickets available POTG.
 
Yeah the Doncaster game was soooo hot. Think we also played in black that day if memory serves. Also had a goalkeeper playing for us who appeared to have no hands which was unusual.
 
QPR definitely, seem to recall a game at Doncaster being scorching and we got battered too.

England v Ecuador in stuttgart 2006 was blooming hot too!!
 
Salford for me as well in preseason last year, was that ridiculous heat wave with a weather warning not to go out that day. The game was a night kick off and it was sweltering.

Probably wasn't wise going on the lash all day.
 
The Cardiff play-off final was fine for me, no problem. That is until the sun moved round mid-way through the second half. Scorchio!
 
Universidad de Chile v Colo Colo in mid 1990s. Most games seemed to evening matches but for some reason that wasn’t and was a capacity crowd. Hotter than any England away game I’ve been too.
 
England v Tunisia in Marseilles in 1998. 2:30 kick-off, no stadium roof and the sun beating down. I was puzzled why the locals all seemed to be taking newspapers in with them but when I later saw them all wearing them on their heads I wished I had taken one.
 
I’m trying to think of a game at home where it was boiling.

Arsenal in the prem springs to mind.

Was sat in the first row of the East. Had to put a t shirt on my head as some kind of makeshift turban to stop the sweat rolling into my eyes. My Arsenal supporting mate saw me on telly and text ‘nice head gear’.

Must have been an unusually hot April 10th 2011.

I went to that. My mate had a bald head and didn't wear a hat, next day he pulled the flaking skin off his head like a skull cap.
 
Man City friendly in August 1976.
Baking hot Summer and my mate wore shorts for the game. He was mocked by City fans “ Hello ducky”.
How times have changed when you see folk wearing them in a January blizzard.

Ouch, sounds horrible. I had recently gone for a skinhead and wasn’t used to having to wear a hat so didn’t take one. I had to decide whether to let my head burn or use my t-shirt as a hat and let my arms burn instead. I chose the latter.

Swansea at home last season I would say.
 
I just glanced at the thread title and thought it said "Hottest Dame you've ever been with!" I envisioned an Edward G Robinson Movie.

Answer to the question; Play off final 2010 and the Donny game under Hendry'

The hottest Dame........... now that would be telling! 🙈

Echo QPR away, when we got hammered. Was it 5-0? Played in black. I went by coach that had no air con and believe it or not, no curtains! Horrible day!

Cardiff in the play off final, as again already mentioned.

We went by train which was restricted to 40mph on the way back as there was a risk of the rails buckling.

We had tickets for the London Eye but it wasn't running as the heat had expanded the metal on the central spindle. We eventually got on it when we played Charlton later that season.
