Just a quick one chaps. Me and the missus visited Castleford for the first time in thirty years on Sunday to watch the Wolves. We live in London and drove up Sat night, no tickets, no hotel. We found a nice little place to stay near the town, then nipped to the ground Sunday morning to grab some tickets.
We then spent the morning having a look around the area, Xscape centre etc.
I have to say throughout the entire trip, without exception, everyone we met was warm, helpful, welcoming. The club staff sorted us out great seats, gave us a tour, couldn't do enough for us. Though we were sat in amongst all the Tigers fans, we heard no bad language, just good rugby league banter and wise comment. The whole atmosphere at the game was friendly and quiet a joy.
We had a superb experience in a surprisingly special place. I'll make sure we don't miss out the away game to Cas ever again!

Thanks for taking the time out to leave such a positive comment about our club. As everyone knows, we've had more than our fair share of poop slung at our club's good name and it's nice to hear an opposition fan have something good to say.

How good is that?Nice one Saville row!

No raspberry sauce on teh 99's as they're not allowed to use it?

WTF is up with that?

Angry consumer

PS parking was ample.

It is massively appreciated comments like that, it's easy to find the inclination to moan and castigate, but much more difficult to find the urge to say when things were good.

You should have demanded some and not left the van until you were satisfied

Thank you Saville Row for the lovely complement. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Cas Vegas.

What up with the burning smell yesterday as well? that was a bit weird?

BBQ gone wrong nearby?

Warrington "fan" let off a smoke bomb

no this was before kick off, about 45 minutes, kept coming back and disapearing throughout the day.

The burning smell would have been the fumes the Nestle factory next to the stadium produces.

I suppose because I’ve been an exiled northerner living in London for over 30 years, I appreciate what a very special culture Rugby League has. In reality you can throw a coat over the rugby league heartland. Yesterday I witnessed and took part in an afternoon that represented the very best of that culture and felt strongly that I had to say something. Hopefully we’ll never lose it; we’d be so much poorer if we did.

me and my mates enjoy going to Cas always go to wetherspoons first ( Glass Blowers I think its called ) then into the ground and the bar there always been a friendly place.

Possibly the malt being roasted. It's one of the smells associated with castleford. There's a malt factory just up the road. I could smell it on and off during the day.
