The very one - hard to believe it staged a GB v France gaame in the 80's. reckon it would hold 3k at a very cozy and friendly squeeze.

Blimey - blazing sun and beer means my memory is hazy at best, but it's very small. Maybe the 18th man could retrieve the balls off the roof of the building at one end

as one of the unlucky ones who came out to perpignan it would be a nice gesture of the club to show the re-match free to air on hull fc tv, instead of on hull fc live

Suggest it to the club - although, TV rights would prevent them from showing it live. You may even be able to wrangle a free Hull FC live login and password out of them.

You're not kidding.

So in summary, they should have known the pitch was unplayable earlier, it seems. The point I missed (might have drifted off) was how Bentham and the match commissioner decided on Friday it would be OK. Has this point been discussed. Would have thought that Bentham, a "confirmed" black and white, would have alerted his club to this earlier tbh.

I remember it well, April 1985. We played 10 games in 18 days, including three consecutive days and 5 games in 7 days.

I remember that too. The nature of our CC run certainly did us no favours. I remember one night getting loved as it vexed it down. Only game I've ever left early. In the shadow of getting to Wembley it just seemed like such an insignificant game.
