For tomorrow, I'm wearing: Two pairs of trousers, a snood, a scarf, bobble hat, fingerless gloves (I'm hard) and a gilet (I'm posh) and hoping that my thick Coat has dried out from a snowballing defeat at the hands of my son this morning.

Any other fashion tips for the cold tomorrow?

I wonder if the fat bloke with his top off from the away fixture will be there?

I will just have the normal stuff on, maybe an under armour if it's really cold.

And the trick with the cold, it's not about looking fashionable, it's about staying warm!

Yeah a scarf.

It's like those things you put on your hands, the glove things.

Keep it simple.

Remember the West End Days at Highfield Road ? It didn't matter how cold it was if it was packed you'd end up hot through body heat. It seems colder now because you're sat down if not in Singers Corner !

Yep it's all about knees and toes, knees and toes to keep warm when sitting down. That's there the wind hits when it goes round.

Im not sure about Snoods, but to be fair with the last fan village they used their brains and had hats, scarves, gloves and blankets in prime view for sale

Also at the Ricoh, it's more than likely there are quite a few empty seats next to you

Make sure it's not Vaseline or you might Ignite.
What about going old school and using the old horse linement the oldboys used to rub on before a Sunday morning game in 60s-70s?

I am actually wearing my 21 year old Rockports to work today. Been re soled and They come out for the Snow in case I get stranded on the way home. Been up Snowdon and a few other mountains in them. They're great.

Still remember standing by the wall on the lower left of the spion kop in winter 1967 (First winter) and freezing to death. Can remember the excitement of the tea urn as it came towards me.

Wrap up and bring a decent size hip flask. Just make sure you can have a piss easily tho as you dont want to be pissing on your best strides.
