I suppose it's the cost of land that means so many clubs are sited next to rivers or on hillsides but it does make them pretty chilly places.
Here's a list of a few horrors, have you any others to add?
- Nottingham Moderns - Under 14 County training was marked by freezing winds off the Trent, whilst the smell from the pie factory reminded me of home, warmth and food.
- Derby - we won there as Under 12s but the Derby coach threw a tantrum as the winning try went down in a puddle so big it had washed the try line away and he tried to deny us the score.
- Sheffield Tigers - at this year's Lexus Festival the U13s played on a pitch that was little more than a bit of rough grazing with posts at each end. The U16s had a better pitch but the toilets blocked and as the resident jobsworth wouldn't let us stand inside the barrier we had to paddle through sewage.

How when referring to cold places have you not included Southglade
To be honest stew, I try not to think of Southglade until at least Friday night. I used to live in the Fens, but have never known a place so cold and windy.
