Cornish Pirates forwards coach Joe Walsh says the atmosphere at home ground Mennaye Field is "special" - as they return following a period away caused by Storm Goretti.
The Champ side were forced to play two home fixtures at neighbours Camborne and launched a crowdfunder to help pay for the damage caused by last month's storms.
Storm Goretti caused damage to the main stand at Mennaye Field, which has cost the club approximately £200,000.
The club announced via their website that "a huge amount of work" had gone on behind the scenes to ensure the entire ground is open on Saturday.
After a good run of three wins from their past four matches - including a win last time out at Caldy, which Walsh said he was "absolutely delighted" with - Pirates now return to Penzance with a home fixture against Nottingham.
"Being back at Mennaye is an extra boost," Walsh told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"The 12 o'clock kick-off could potentially bring a big crowd, which will come in and potentially enjoy that before the Six Nations games and cheer us on and hopefully get us over the line.
"They [the fans] are an important part of what we do. They make a big difference on the day, especially in the big moments.
"The noise at the Mennaye is special compared to anywhere else we'd be playing."
Pirates currently sit eighth in the Champ Rugby table, with nine league matches still remaining.
