I do enjoy the standing away ends.
However, one of the best away atmospheres I often think back to was Saints in 2011, when they where playing at Widnes. (was it madges last game)
We made an absolute racket, all night, in an all seater away end.
So it can be done

I think I was at this game, got off a lovely warm coach into a -35 wind and a frost laden floor. My mate and I were that cold we went into the Hull KR supporters bar, We got threatened with violence unless we left, but we argued that violence was better then the outside cold which raised a laugh so they let us stay!!
If it's the correct game, the players came out looking blue with cold and Gene Miles looked like he was ready to fly back to Oz immediately. The floodlights also failed with about 10 mins to go, luckily we were winning.

| I remember coming off Odsal one day, got back in the car and I couldn't feel the steering wheel or foot pedals, sat there for about 20 mins with the heater on full blast  |

Was at the old Wilderspool on a New Years Day when it was super foggy. Glyn Shaw sparked one of the Chisnalls right in front of where I was stood (close to the tunnel) and got sent off. This was pretty early in the game. Friends stood elsewhere in the ground had no idea he'd been sent off until the end of the game

I know it was weird,they would disappear then come into view then go again,you could hear a lot of shouting from the players,think they were using echo-location.

Couldn't happen now. Thisis from the Match Day Operations Manual 2024
https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... 202024.pdf
Fog Before the Match
If fog descends before the kick-off the Match Commissioner (where appropriate), Ground Safety Officer, and whenever possible or appropriate, the Referee, coaches and a representative from a Broadcast partner, should take up a position at the furthest vantage point at which a spectator may stand. They shall look to see whether they have a view of the corner flags at the far end of the field. If this is possible then the Match should go ahead.
At low attendance Matches it may be possible, in consultation with the Ground Safety Officer, to position spectators on or near the halfway line so that most of the playing area is visible.
It will be helpful if the home Club can provide an up-to-date weather prediction from the nearest weather centre to assist any discussion.
Spectators and the media must be kept informed of current situations and immediately informed of any decisions taken. |

Was that the one where Andy Platt appeared out of nowhere and scored?

Pat Richards appearing from the fog for a try down the Wigan end will never be forgotten. It was like he'd stepped out of the doors on stars in their eyes.

 Fantastic evening, that.
Ridiculous but a bloody great memory! When I tell my kids about that night, they'll simply not believe that A) it was played or B) we didn't just leave & go home! |

I remember handing my cash over at the turnstile just thinking 'what am I doing' but thought maybe they knew something we didn't and it would magically clear up. Just a surreal night but as you say, it's one to look back on and laugh.

Fair enough. Fog obviously not uncommon in the Odsal microclimate!
