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.

That interview with Bomber was done right after the second inspection and he's not in full possession of the facts at that point. The pitch was deemed playable on Friday afternoon because it was playable on Friday afternoon - it was only after being watered that the problems started. The whole 'we should have been told earlier' thing is a red herring - even Trent Robinson didn't know there was a problem until around 1pm on Saturday.

well said Kosh

the groundsmanship comes under the auspices of he Ville de Perpignan and not the club so no blame can be attached to the club or officials

it's a disaster that it cost the likes of the loyal Hull fans,people like me and all connected with the club a lot of money all due to the incompetance of a few clueless government workers - this cannot be allowed to happen again and the guilty party (ies) should be severly reprimanded

what kind of 'qualified' professional waters the pitch TWICE (once the night before and again the next morning, in freezing conditions ?

utter incompetance ! :CRAZY:

And having done so, that decision was supported by Kershaw.........priceless.

' The last time they had rain there was in January and the pitch was rock hard. That was an issue anyway. but how do you soften the ground? you put water on it.'

If it was an issue 24 hours before KO it should have been called off then....you dont water in sub zero temperatures.

All down to Kershaw's decision....numpty

Re: Catalans Game to be rescheduled : Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:46 pm  
the fault lies with the groundsman/men - not any of the officials

the pitch would have been playable if the ground hadn't been watered (twice) ...

it wasn't watered on the recommendation of the ref or match comissioner,was it ?

I read it that Kershaw had told the groundsman to do it, or at least said he agreed with him doing it.
