Lao PDR vs Vietnam in Tiger Cup about 10 years ago. Vientianne International Stadium.
38 degrees centigrade, players looked ill after 90 mins!

woking away August 2001 100 degrees that day
team coach 90 minutes late but we won 3 1

By the way, Lao PDR lost 10 - 0 at home!

Wasn't it a scorcher at either Slough or Hayes one year, and Tony Johnston fell asleep in the heat lying down on the concrete steps?

agree the Woking game was damn hot but I think Margate away on that Bank Holiday Monday was hotter. Supporters coach arrived at half time, Andy Hollings ended up dehydrated. Last time we played Margate in Margate I think.

Seem to remember Woking on the opening day of the season being roasting about 10-12 years ago. The open end where the North Stand is now was like a sun terrace with both sets of fans sunning it up with very little clothes on!

Saw a Zinedine Zidane exibition match in Chiang Mai last year played in the middle of the day in blistering heat. I sweated buckets that day and I was just stood watching. ZZ looked like he was going to passout on the pitch. No wonder Thailand hasn't got a much of a footy team!

Tony Johnson fell asleep on the open terrace at Hayes in the first 5 minutes, but he had consumed the odd shandy.
Jacko scored on his third and final "debut" in a Shrimps shirt, Tone woke up in the second half wearing a Woking shirt, his bare chest was half red and half white

Margate at Dover opening game of the season - so hot Andy Gouck lost 2 stone in sweat just walking on the pitch and he still weighed more than the rest of the team combined!!

Blagged my then boss that it would be a cultural experience for my German students - sat them in a minibus and drove from Oxford to Dover got their just in time for kick off - walked around Dover after the match - it was shut - bought them all fish and chips at the worst chippy I've ever been too - got back on the bus and drove them all back to oxford - man they just don't get English humour!
