Club Website says:

The pitch has been covered each night for over three weeks however temperatures dipped as low as -7 overnight to present a major test for the club's groundstaff. However, the work carried out during the week has help alleviate the problems presented by the low temperatures and the pitch is playable.

The front sheets will remain on the pitch until just before kick off as temperatures will begin to dip again this evening with both teams set to warm up in the in goal areas.

Commenting on the pitch, Head Groundsman Jason Booth said, "The team have done a great job this week. Every day we have taken the sheets off the pitch and worked on the pitch to get the moisture out of it. That has certainly helped us last night when the temperatures fell to their lowest point of the week."

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



Quote: lionarmour87 "Sorry about that I hadn't been up long ,senior moment.I once did sit in front of the Southstand on a cold saturday in feb it was against Wigan 1st round of challenge cup 1957 there was a crowd of almost 39k they let us little kids sit in front'"


I was at that game. We had to break the gates down to get in. Billy Boston scored two seventy five yarders (non of this metric stuff). Leeds won 13 - 11, Dave Bolton (it may have been Don Platt) broke his leg (no subs then) and Eric Ashton missed a kick to draw the game.

Quote: DHM "There was a cup tie at Halifax in the late 80's where 1/4 of the pitch was frozen like glass - the players just avoided it. We had a snowball fight at half time with the Fax fans - that was pretty baltic. '"


Indeed it was. The best bit was (weather aside and the fact the game should not have taken place that Sunday afternoon) it was a fantastic win and a little against the form book. Halifax were a decent side in the mid eighties.

When Leeds had a good win V Halifax I'd usually take a trip up just beyond Odsal top to the first newsagent that stocked the Evening Courier and this was their headline the following dayhttps://www.fotothing.com/photos/642/642c096323cd1ddd6e7531493b30dbd6.jpg?ts

Peter Fox also and quite rightly IMO, spoke out in the YEP over the decision to play in those conditionshttps://www.fotothing.com/photos/0fe/0fe8586a3b891c371530348fd38b470a.jpg?ts

The match formed an integral part of the epic 7 game Challenge Cup run of 85/86 that ended with a semi-final replay defeat at Elland Road V last night's opponents. There should be a book written about that campaign and the author should be Jeff Grayshon.
