Wearing long-johns at Charlton games in the winter. Thoughts?

CAFCTrev

I find them to be very effective at maintaining warmth on those Tuesday night games Nov-March....

oldbloke

emirates for you son.

Riviera

It's still autumn. It's hardly cold out is it?

Sonicstud85

each to their own

Bournemouth Addick

Should be in the straight red thread.

They're even warmer if you put other clothes, such as trousers, on over the top though.

Riviera

I would say the bigger question is whether to bother going or stay at home and watch the Arsenal in CL?

Shag

My blanket is more than adequate

nth_london_addick

bought some for being on me scooter absolutely mint and keep all your bits warm

Vincenzo

Totally acceptable, Trev. Just keep it yourself.

man_at_milletts

Good idea, but what if you want a number 2 at half-time?

I find my dads old hip flask with a drop of Spanish brandy helps enormously.

Vincenzo

If we get promoted, I'd try a nappy.

Macronate

you are right to come out about this.

nothing worse than being freezing watching the footie and then trying to find your digit when you go for a piss at h/time.

I used to always wear them during winter. They're the difference between being cold and being warm, don't know why everyone doesn't wear them!

Mendonca In Asdas

Not for me i'm afraid , won't fit under the onesie.

Have done at non-league games, where you can often be standing without cover in the rain/sleet/snow come January time. The coldest I think I've ever been was Folkestone Invicta v Dorchester Town around 1999/00 or so, an evening game, stood on the open cricket ground end as it started to snow. Frig me, it was a hard one to tough out. Even the club shop told us they'd run out of hats.

Put mine on November 1st and peel them off April 1st (whether I need to or not)
