Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (RC The Bassets is a rugby UNION club, founded 1 July 1978 in Sassenheim -- not a rugby league venue in any regular sense. No specific ground-opening date was found beyond the club's 1978 founding, and rugby league use only began in 2023, as an occasional borrowed venue for Netherlands national team fixtures. A score discrepancy for the first recorded match (Netherlands vs Norway, 30 Sep 2023) was independently re-checked via direct re-fetch of Rugby League Project's own results page, which confirms 58-22 (matching this site's own data); Wikipedia's Netherlands national team results table instead states 88-22 for the same fixture -- Rugby League Project's figure is used here as the primary source, with the Wikipedia discrepancy disclosed rather than silently resolved.) |
