Although Catalans played at the RU ground in the first season, which helped them get going as a success, so I'm not sure that's right.
Remember it well, the team under Caspers great leadership stayed at that golfing complex like the rest of the other teams did the first couple of years, the first year we were sat having a coffee Saturday morning outside that bar where the big arch is, who came and sat at the next table was the chuckle bros(the Connellys) along with Karl Kirkpatrick our referee for the evening.
Couple of things I also remember was that Eric said the ground belonged to the council and that the then mayor was who he said he was, now I have no way of knowing if what any of what he said is/was true nor do I really care, but I do know for sure that he did say those things and to quite a few who still post on here.
