Bradford Bulls - RedAmberandBlack.net • Odsal weather reminiscences
ChinaBull's post on the return to Odsal thread got me thinking - see below:
i had the luxury of being in the old wooden stand on the pop side, but since then ive been p##ed on, snowed on, fogged on (who can forget the rolling fog that came down rooley and swamped the pitch against wigan), hailed on, sunburnt, froze my nads off .... i cant be there obviously but i wouldn't have it any other way. Gimme odsal every day
I remember the fog causing the game to be abandoned vs Wigan - was it 1990/91?
Bad fog too for the 1986 Kangaroos - if it'd been any other game it would've been postponed. I remember it peeing down that night too so you got soaked and saw bugger all - we lost 0-38.
There have been so many games when I've been soaked but one that sticks in the mind is a home game vs Leigh in 1989 - we won 6-0 in the dourest game ever. The rain was relentless, wind howling. It was like watching a game played at Cape Horn.
I also remember having a French themed picnic for the visit of Catalans one year in the mid 00s and getting burnt to a crisp and sozzled on French plonk. It was the game when Michael Platt took an eon to clear a ball from the in goal area and Justin Murphy scored.
Any other memories anyone would like to share?
