Wigan and Sheff Wed to be deducted points next season

On BBC website now , the appeal is that neither the EFL or the old owners knew the new Hong Kong owners were going to place the club into administration , so therefore the club should not be punished .
Seems a very strange defence , surely its their club now .

Oldham Boundary Park early February 1983 was quite possibly the coldest match on record. I think it touched -52 with the wind chill factor. Monkeys balls were snapping off on the away end terrace. We lost 3-0 as well.

1st Jan 1988 was the coldest I've been at Boundary Park for a 3-1 defeat.
Honourable mention to Bet 365 stadium at Stoke - **** me its cold there.

I was at that game, if I remember correctly at the top of the away end to stand in the terrace there was an iron swing gate, fans had to put there feet on the gate to swing across to get over a massive puddle

We never won a match on NYD in my time while playing at AP

Didn’t we beat Man Utd 1-0 when Mark Brennan had an absolute stormer against Bryan Robson? Or was that a Boxing Day?
 
The last time we won a NYD fixture at AP was v Huddersfield in 1958, 2 years before I was born
The 1st in my lifetime was at the Riverside v Everton when Festa scored the only goal of the game, can't think of the exact year, we also beat Everton a, few seasons later in the FAC QF to create history when winning our 1st ever QF game on Teesside

Ah. Presumably New Years Day fell on a Sunday. I remember 1-0 flattered them. Only time I’ve ever seen Bryan Robson dominated by another midfielder. Even against Liverpool and Souness you’d never say either ‘dominated’ the other.

Without checking I'm sure Man Utd played Liverpool on NYD with Liverpool winning 3-1, we drew away to Norwich 0-0 on NYE, which I went to
I have that Boro v Man Utd game on video 👍

I'd second the Ewood nomination for coldest ground (just marginally beating the Antarctica Penguin All Stars Select XI ground the 'Frosty-Dome' 😉).

Ewood is like a bloody wind tunnel, many a game I've spent shivering in the stand there, clutching a hot coffee like a life raft in a storm.

But the best pies I've ever tasted at a football ground, or maybe the Alan Kernaghan hat trick made them taste nicer
