Yes, the ban was lifted and changed to suspended ban after Bradford appealed to the RFL.

As for the game IIRC it was abandoned after an hour, by the Rovers had 2 players sent off and Bradford 4!, after the last Bradford went off never to return.

Was down in the South Atlantic at the time, but heard the reports on BBC world service. Bizzare.

I was there - Grayshon was a proper twit that day and took some right stick (for a change). Think Noble played too in his 80's headband

I was listening from a ship in the less exotic location of British West Hartlepool.

Yes I was there, under the old Craven Park scoreboard. IIRC there had been quite some physical going on previously, I'm sure Watky had been involved. Didn't Ellery Hanley play for Bratfud?

We ended up coming off worse on the fines front IIRC, was a wierd game tho' no one knew what was going on.
