problem is that the ref deemed the pitch ok the day before according to Hull fans who met him in town on friday evening but the problem was that the groundsman decided to water the pitch on the saturday morning and the water immediately froze due to the cold wind (wind chill) even though the air temperature was above or around zero - it was 3° when I arrived at 1600hrs but the wind chill factor with the really cold mountain wind turned the water into ice,making the surface unplayable so the ref had no choice !

whoever decided to water the pitch needs to be reprimanded and serious action taken the guilty party cos' it cost a lot of people a lot of money which was all wasted

I would like to know if I can get reimbursed for my travelling and hotel fees by a seemingly incompetant act by an employee of the Catalan club ?

this is disgraceful

It's not the fault of Catalan for the frozen pitch, they aren't the owners of Gilbert Brutus, it's the town of Perpignan the main guilty as I said on the virtual terrace topic.. But the Dragons should have anticipated it before!!! We had a freezing week, and a lot of games were off in Pyrénées Orientales..

so,was it La Ville de Perpignan who decided to water the pitch ? I doubt it,the decision would have been with the clubs' groundstaff surely ?

who can I complain to ?

La Ville or the club ?

who is responsable for this balls-up ?

according to the ref the pitch was playable on the friday before the water was applied !

who is responsable ?

Re: Daunting visit from Hull FC... : Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:58 am  

Definitely la Ville.

without consulting the club ???
