Interesting question to ask for referees. If the pitch was playable last week surely the pitch would be okay now or have I missed something and there has been further bad weather, rain and snow in London.

Quins have a Hieneken Cup QF coming up, so it'll be because of that.

The club have really outdone themselves this time. Probably the most laughable move I have ever witnessed while following Rugby League. Or any professional sport. I am utterly lost for words.

Why don't the Broncos just postpone the game? And who, exactly, has deemed the pitch to unplayable?

No need to worry about the crowd numbers and paying guests. Looks like you can climb over the fence!

Looking at Esher's website, there's a decent clubhouse, but the ground itself makes Chiswick look like the Halliwell Jones. Wrap up warm, kiddies - doesn't look like there's much shelter from the wind!

Great set of flood lights judging by the picture......do we need to bring Davey Lamps or similar?

FFS.......Not sure if I will bother going. Talk about back to the future

This latest bloody farce simply gives more ammunition to all those who feel that London shouldn't be in SL.

I'm beginning to think that Gus is Gary Schofield in disguise.

Getting closer to being a park footy team by the minute...

Re: Catalans game moved to Esher RFC! : Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:59 pm  

So we have 3 games scheduled over 9 days and this presented the perfect opportunity to postpone the fixture and save it for later in the year when we have been knocked out of the CC and when the weather is better......but the club and players elect to play at this sub-standard ground. Brains of a friggin rocking horse thats what I say.
