Tonight's debacle with the shirt issue reminds me of a similar incident that happend with Rovers a few years ago. It was a midweek evening kick off away at Cas and we turned up minus the kit back and we had to play in Cas's away strip. Does anyone else remember the incident; or did I dream it?

Next thing you know the floodlights will fail

.

I have vague memories the game you mention, IFAIK the Rovers kit was supposed to be brought by the kit man in his car but for some reson he never got to the ground on time?.

That would be amaturish.

No you didn't dream about it Pudsey Robin, it did happen. Funny we were just discussing it as we watched tonights game.

I bet PROBIZ are happy,they sponsor Fax as well but they used an old Halifax strip !!!!

Thank goodness; I've not totally lost it yet then. Can you remember the year; mid ninetees wasn't it?

cant remember the year it was but we won the match great game if my memory severs me right

Not certain on the year, but my OH seems to think it was early 90's.

I remembered us winning it; but I wasn't sure if it was back in the good old days or when we were both in the lower division.

at the end of the day it is disgracefull what happened today...
all teams should carry both home and away strips to each and every game just to avoid any poss colour clashes and such...

in regards to today, i put the blame fairly and squarely on hudds shoulders... they should not have been in their away strip anyways ,as this was classed as a home tie for them...

I remember Sheffield coming to cp and having to wear our awAy shirt

Yeah i think I remember that too, although I thought it was Batley? Not too sure.

farce.

Wasn't it an Huddersfield 'home' game ?

If so, why did Cas have to change, they will have brought their away kit. Hudds should have been made to change as they seemed to be in their away kit.

Me and my brother was at the Cas away game and just before the teams came out,and i swear this is true,he said "wouldn`t it be funny if we came out wearing Castleford shirts".We still can`t believe he said that to this day.And i think the year was 1992 because i seem to remember they were only a couple of weeks from the challenge cup final against Wigan,and we beat them.

Vaguely remember a team having to wear our Wastewise blue with green away shirt at our place one time.

For some reason, which I cannot recall (with it being away), I was the mascot for that Castleford game. At least I came out in the right shirt!

What costume did you wear?

One of the commentators on sky I think it was Eddie Hemmings said the teams were wearing the kits as a directive from the RFL. If this had been noticed when the teams were warming up it would have been almost as quick for someone to go back to Huddersfield and collect the home kit as brong the kit lady from her home.

The kit lady also helps out on the hospitality side of this for Halifax; so she might have been there anyway.

They said they'd dragged her in and spoilt her roast dinner.

I heard that it was a mistake in the insructions from Red hall, But having done the kit mans job I would have had both kits on the bus just in case. It would also help if clubs managers actualy had a chat the day before to sort out normaly trivial items, I used to ring teams(in amature level) to find out what facilitys they had & more important what shirts they played in if they were they unknown to us. It still did not help if your kit man has a brain storm & forgets the kit but thats life.

They may well have;but saying she was here anyway, but it was nice of her to open up and get the kit out for us, isn't as interesting TV.

It's not a problem you ever really got in RL until the common sense approach of clubs contacting each other to sort it between themselves, was replaced by the good old governing body telling teams what wear. Strange one that!
