Sounds about right.BR wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 8:00 pmConsistent with URC policy, the final venue will be determined by a complex formula governed the birth sign of the penultimate front row replacement (non-HIA) to score an unconverted try in the pool stages of the regular season (not including 'shield' matches) multiplied by the number of errors they have made publishing the league table on their web page/app/social media accounts during the season.HammerTime wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 11:26 amIt’ll 100%% be a viva for euro but I’m talking about a potential league final.

The final venue will be communicated (incorrectly) at least 4 hours before kick-off (subject to time differences).

I remember one of those horizontal rain nights. My young teen daughter used to go to Ravers with me regularly. On that night, she brought her friend and, against my advice, they clearly decided that neither of them could lose out in the coolness stakes by being happed up well. Soaked, frozen and miserable. Only match I've ever left early.

Funny, Glos was another one that came to my memory. I don't seem to recall the Quinns one though, and I never missed a match for a lot of years back then.BR wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 7:44 pmSure there were so many we can't even pick them out individually any more - but I remember the Glouscarlequins was definitely the worst - except maybe for that other one.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:24 pm
Nice try BR.
So how come if it was so typical, we still pick it and a couple of others out as so memorable and thus worse than all the rest?
Unless it was the one where the temporary stand was in danger of blowing over ? ? ?

I agree that5he Glocs match was the worst experience.in those days I was a regular on the terrace and with the crowd packed in tight before redevelopment and normally you only got the top of your head soaked. However the Glocs match was horrendous, I know people talk about being soaked to the skin but that night in spite of being well equipped with a good rain coat and warm sweater, and shirt the rain went right through to my skin.
The Scarlets match maybe wasn’t as wet but the wind made it very dangerous. We watched from the terrace as the Camera man on the Simon Escape ladder behind the “pigeon Loft” swayed from side to side before he was brought down shortly after half time. Then the Temporary Stand at the Memorial end was evacuated on safety grounds. Worst of all after enduring the weather we had to see Ulster lose.

As my photos already posted, neither the temporary stand nor the pigeon lofts were in place for the Scarlets deluge match.
Might have been the Glaws match???

Was the pigeon loft not in your picture?Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 10:50 pm As my photos already posted, neither the temporary stand nor the pigeon lofts were in place for the Scarlets deluge match.

My memory is the pigeon loft arrived before we got the scoreboard from Lansdowne.
I think maybe we should set up a senility thread in the back room.

It wasn't that clear to me - I thought they stretched farther over than in that photo. Thought there was only the scoreboard there in that pic.BR wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 9:01 amWas the pigeon loft not in your picture?Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 10:50 pm As my photos already posted, neither the temporary stand nor the pigeon lofts were in place for the Scarlets deluge match.

Well, I hope nobody saw you!
You could end up on a register for that sort of thing!
Welcome, by the way (I think)
