Quote: Bradford Badger "First year we went to Perpignan to play Catalans we ended up staying in the same hotel as the players and staff.

A few of us were on the same floor as McNamara and Medley who were on the coaching staff at the time and sharing a room.

One of our party was a bit tight for cash when we booked the weekend away, so we clubbed together and paid for his flight. The lad is a bit of a character, so as our fee for paying for his flight, we made him dress as Spiderman for the day of the game.

When we came back from lunch and were heading back out for the game we bumped into McNamara and Medley in the lift (while our mate was dressed as Spiderman)......

Spiderman turned to Messers Medley and McNamara, and said "Was that you two making all the noise in that room last night?"

Everyone, including McNamara and Medley just wet themselves laughing out of the lift. Brilliant.'"


Ha, brilliant - those were the days when we used to win over there!

Thing with Perpignan was that for years we won every time we went over there [apart from one cup game], then after that early run we couldn't buy a win in France.

It must have been around 1990 and we were away at London when they played at Barnet Polytechnic.

It literally came down in buckets and the wind was so severe that one of the kick-offs caught the went and went behind for a goal line drop-out.

Another one which I've mentioned numerous times over the years on here would be Hull FC away in the last ever game we played at the Boulevard.

The supporters coaches failed to turn up on time, meaning we didn't get to the ground till halftime by which time we were 20-12 down. It was worth the journey in the end because of Michael Withers' last minute drop-goal to see us win by a point.

I was there as an 11 year-old and it was for me the truly defining arrival of the Bradford Bulls brand.

I was one of those who was due to use the coaches. I'd rarely used the coaches before, but the last time I'd gone to the Boulevard I'd come back without wing mirrors, so decided to not risk the car this time. When the coaches hadn't shown up within a certain time frame, I left and went home to watch the game on Sky (a decision I was happy with considering the coaches ended up getting to the Boulevard about half time) and got my money back later.

Never used the official coaches again after that. I was fuming I'd missed a game and such a big ending due to someone else's ineptitude.

Yeah, I was the same, I've not used the official supporters coaches since that cold Friday night.

Credit to Hull FC, they let everyone in for free off the two coaches.

Yeah they did, opened a large gate to let us through, IIRC. Well done to them!

My recollection was that they let people in for half price (for half the game). Although I also remember hearing about them opening the gate to let people get in quickly, so I may be wrong on that one. Not actually being there myself at the time, it's difficult to say for sure.
