I remember coming off Odsal one day, got back in the car and I couldn't feel the steering wheel or foot pedals, sat there for about 20 mins with the heater on full blast

was you at the game when it was completely covered in fog
we could literally see the in goal, and every now and then the ingoal touch judge who has walked up the pitch so he could see what was going on
absolute farce of an evening watching nothing, other than the odd player come into view

Was at the old Wilderspool on a New Years Day when it was super foggy. Glyn Shaw sparked one of the Chisnalls right in front of where I was stood (close to the tunnel) and got sent off. This was pretty early in the game. Friends stood elsewhere in the ground had no idea he'd been sent off until the end of the game

I know it was weird,they would disappear then come into view then go again,you could hear a lot of shouting from the players,think they were using echo-location.
If fog descends before the kick-off the Match Commissioner (where appropriate), Ground Safety Officer, and whenever possible or appropriate, the Referee, coaches and a representative from a Broadcast partner, should take up a position at the furthest vantage point at which a spectator may stand. They shall look to see whether they have a view of the corner flags at the far end of the field. If this is possible then the Match should go ahead.
At low attendance Matches it may be possible, in consultation with the Ground Safety Officer, to position spectators on or near the halfway line so that most of the playing area is visible.
It will be helpful if the home Club can provide an up-to-date weather prediction from the nearest weather centre to assist any discussion.
Spectators and the media must be kept informed of current situations and immediately informed of any decisions taken.
Couldn't happen now. Thisis from the Match Day Operations Manual 2024

Pat Richards appearing from the fog for a try down the Wigan end will never be forgotten. It was like he'd stepped out of the doors on stars in their eyes.
