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

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

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

    Totally acceptable, Trev. Just keep it yourself.

    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.

    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.

    No problem at all. Needed them for many a night's fishing.

    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!

    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.
