A bit of rain forecast leading up to and during the game, possibility of a postponement or does their altitude and the constant gale force wind assist with the drainage?

Daft start time for my group of 4 on Saturday. Hopefully it’ll all be worthwhile with a good performance.

Good last day of the season in Oldham and Manchester last time there. Not going this time round though... fair play to those travelling!

Fair play to anyone that wants to manage or play for Oldham .
I’m surprised they are not struggling more than they are currently .
We should be getting 3 points there but that probably means we won’t .

Curle will be settling for a draw but can we Oldham away?

I wonder if your life is as gloomy as your posts. Have some perspective, it’s Just the Cobblers bouncing between the bottom two divisions. They’ve been doing this pretty much all my life, and I’m 58! |

Looking forward to this, as a new ground for me , have never managed to get there before for various reasons. Is it true it’s always cold there , as now I’m mid fifties, I am starting to feel it?

Yeah, the wind just whips across that ground and it's been cold enough to freeze the proverbials off a brass monkey every time I've been there! Wrap up warm! |

Second highest ground in the country behind West Brom. Probably an optical illusion but even in the sunshine it feels cold...  |

I have been colder there than at any other football ground I have visited but I am sure the excitement will keep you thawed and imagine how good the Bovril will be at halftime. |

Basingstoke in the FA Cup is EASILY the coldest ground and Carl Heggs still took his shirt off to celebrate! Even in August Gillingham seemed cold. |

Yes Basingstoke away was the coldest I've ever been at a game, never got above freezing all game, the wind chill factor really hit hard with no roof on the away end.

The coldest I've ever been at a match (or possibly ever) was away at Wrexham. In my mind it was a night game, but just looking at our head to head meetings I can't see any that fit, so it must just have been a dark, cold and thoroughly miserable winter afternoon. I can't even remember the result, just that I was so bloody cold and felt frozen to the spot!

I’ve been numb watching the Cobblers play many times.

I think someone should just take this city of Peterborough and just... just flush it down the f***in' toilet

I feel another win coming on but we will concede at last on account of crowing about clean sheets, 1-2. As for the weather, a balmy 22 with a gentle south westerly?

It was quite warm when we beat them 8-0 in about 1960, standing on the cricket side. |

Hartlepool back in 87 for me (wasn't at Basingstoke - which clearly wins the award)...and rather coincidentally, Chippenham around five seasons ago!
