Yorkshire top club?????

I like that one

You must work in a circus as a clown

Someone told me those 'Catalan fans' were Odsal Sedbergh/West Bowling players who were mates with Whitehead or something, not sure if that is correct...either way they were acting like complete idiots and were a bunch of dicks all night !

We collected our tickets from the office and i asked the woman what the situation was, she said kick-off's been delayed and they didnt know how long for, the queue was right back to the swimming pool entrance and the game had already kicked off when we got in so it obviously wasnt delayedeven though most of the crowd were still in a queue somewhere outside the ground !

daz,when we joined the queue by the swimming pool corner it was 7.50,and not moving very quickly, everyone had heard that the game had been delayed, most people thought to 8.30 so no obvious rush etc
we nipped into the rope walk to use the toilet and there were still plenty of people inside and outside the pub, as we were coming out we saw the teams coming out for kick off!
this obviously caused panic and hundreds of people dashed out to join the queue's which by now was a free for all outside the turnstiles, the stewards were desperately trying to keep people in order but there was thousands still trying to get in after the game had kicked off, despite people thinking it was delayed.
lots of angry people shouting and swearing at stewards even though none of it was their fault- most of them were taken by surprise by the 8.00 kick off as were the fans.
eventually we got in just before catalan scored their first try,unaware that we had scored first!

it was chaos, completely unorganised, i realise that the club did as much as they could, but there were no announcements regarding kick off, most people had wrongly assumed it was delayed, not sure where that initially came from, but we heard at about 7.15 that the game had been delayed, i suspect many others thought the same as hundreds of people were still waiting to collect tickets when the game kicked off not to mention thousands outside!
someone said that the club wanted to delay kick off because of the congestion outside but sky wouldn't agree to it as it would interrupt their schedule so the game kicked off on time regardless of the situation with the fans outside.

I thought they got people through the turnstiles pretty quickly. The fault was with folk (like myself) in the pub assuming the game was delayed afyer seeing completely empty terraces on the tv so thinking no one was bring allowed in yet!

was the game announced as delayed at anytime jools? i got told by 4/5 different people it was.

I also got told the same thing-but wrong rumours spread as quickly as right ones!

The ticket office told me it was delayed !!!

Dont be nasty and he might get you an interview !! ( They need someone to fill the buckets!)

It was all very confusing but think the club did everything they could. I would say everyone bar sky would have just delayed the kick off. It was the sensible option when you have thousands waiting to get into one stand.
But sky being sky wouldn't want to be delayed. We was just walking down the stairs of the right hand side of the BR when the crowd roared at Jodies try! mass rush ensued as none of us had realised the bloody thing had started!
If it wasn't on Sky I am certain the club would have just delayed kickoff so there wouldn't be a potential of anyone getting hurt ect in a rush to ensure nothing was missed on the field!

Nothing to do with Sky. Their only input was to say that if was going ahead, they were OK to broadcast as they had their own power supply. No pressure was put on anyone by the broadcaster. The teams wanted it played, the RFL match commissioner and the officials agreed and away we went.
