Yes it was a Regal Trophy/JPS Cup game IIRC. There weren't many there.

Quote: Bull Mania "
Another one was I think we played Salford in the middle 8s and we were enjoying a superb win in glorious sunshine. Everyone in shorts and t-shirt and then a big dark cloud started to form right over Odsal. You could hear everyone laughing in the stadium wondering if the full-time hooter would go before the heavens opened. Think we were 2 minutes off the final whistle when they did. Drenched doesn't do it justice. Doesn't feel as bad when you win though.'"


Was this the game where it chucked it down so hard, we all got soaked, and on the final try instead of playing the usual bully bully they played singing in the rain? It may be a different match but I remember that distinctly and the laughter from the terraces. I suppose if we were losing it wouldn’t have gone down as well

Odsal really does have its own micro climate. It’s been sunny outside on Rooley lane, I’ve pushed through the turnstiles and it’s been raining.

I’ve seen games that were played in scorching heat with stewards fainting due to the heat and then playing games in a blizzard.

Another fun memory was thick fog. I can’t remember who we were playing but they were camped up on our line under the coral stand. We couldn’t see a thing but someone must have thrown a ball out wide which was picked off. No reaction from the crowd until 26 players burst out of the fog running towards the other side of the pitch.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg



Remembering one June or July years back when on a Wednesday there was a Yorks v Lancs type "Origin" match at Headingly it was played in one of balmy sunny evenings. Two days later at Odsal on Friday evening the weather changed from warm and sunny to cold windy and it also hailed for a while.
Also when we played the Broncos at Griffin Park? It was a lovely day till just before K O when the clouds rolled in and torrential rain hammered down throughout the match and by the time we got on the Coach going back it was just as sunny with blue sky and only the odd wispy cloud. Those who went to the usual place behind the posts were sodden through, I for some reason that day went into the covered stand! icon_smile.gif

Quote: Bullseye "ChinaBull's post on the return to Odsal thread got me thinking - see below:



"Bad fog too for the 1986 Kangaroos - if it'd been any other game it would've been postponed. I remember it peeing down that night too so you got soaked and saw bugger all - we lost 0-38. "


One of my earlier memories is also of playing the Kangaroos in thick fog, but this was in the early to mid 1970's. We actually climbed over the barriers from the paddock on the main stand side and stood on the speedway track to try and at least get a glimpse of play.

In more recent years the first home game vs either Whitehaven or Workington in 2017 was absolutely freezing. In stark contrast the previous game I'd been to was an NRL play off fixture in Melbourne between the Storm and the Sharks.
Also got utterly soaked standing on the popular side when Toulouse nilled us a couple of years ago. The rain actually kept the score down that day.

Quote: paulwalker71 "Yes, I remember getting home absolutely soaked and dripping wet - but didn't care a jot because we totally battered Salford that day

One I do remember was a New Years Day fixture against Castleford, must have been around 1974 or 1975. Most of the game was played in a blizzard and in the teeth of a freezing wind. To add to the sense of misery We (Northern) got absolutely smashed by that all-conquering team - the score of 0-33 sticks in the mind....'"

I think that, for supporters of a certain age, losing to Cas on new year's day was pretty much an annual ritual if I'm honest.
