| Quote Mark_P1973="Mark_P1973"was you at the game when it was completely covered in fog
we could literally see the in goal, and every now and then the ingoal touch judge who has walked up the pitch so he could see what was going on
absolute farce of an evening watching nothing, other than the odd player come into view

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! |
