The only time I've watched a game where it even approached the deluge on Friday was Yorkshire -v- Papua New Ginuea in the late 80's (I'm sure TVOC can provdie more details). There were huge deep puddles all over the Headingley pitch. I remember Carl Gibson hitting one. He looked like he was diving into a swimming pool. Our pitch took months to recover.

I've been at plaenty of rainy games, but Friday's was something else.

Hull KR, this year. Although it did sort of stop when the game got going, so I don't know if it counts.

Add it anyway as it further cements the observation.

I'll add the 'rainmeisters' to the 'white' shirt theory I've been running recently.

Dont be soft, you only get wet once.

You stay wet after that.

thats why shirts came off on Friday

Not if you were in that "band-waggon" jumping fat bloke and his 4 mates who turned up after the rain had stopped.

Ditto my rhinos rain jacket.

You didn't take yours off did you?

As for the GF in 2008, my phone broke, took in to the shop and they said I was "due" another phone anyway. BINGO
