watch highlights of game and watch all the rest of the forwards and please tell Mr he's different to the rest of them. Not a chance mate.

Absolute nightmare getting to larhndon, roadworks in Twickenham, traffic rush hour etct etc..

This was my first trip for a RL game since Charlton, Jungle freebe, and quite frankly if it is scheduled again for next year on a Friday I deff. aint goin'.

Sat next to some guys who are Cas supporter who live in the Smoke and they said they cannot understand why they play (Quins) on Friday evening.

The attendence of 4100 says it all ......this with free tickets from ES plus a good turn out from approx 500 - 600 ( tho' sounded like twice that) does not give a good reflection of how RL is viewed by the good people of Twickers.

Surely Sunday will attract more of the Northern contingent to matches than Friday Ev. ........the announcer was in raptures over "....over best attendance of the season "(sic) my own personal opinion is that Twickers is a god-awful place no Pubs (gave up on the route march to the Witherspoons), eateries, cafes.......£7.00 for two pints in the Kings bar, £6.00 for scampi(?????) and chips your havin' a girraffe.

The match....Hmm well lets say a point lost........crap start (again) a la Bradford, Salford, why do we play safety first give the opposition too much respect, then decide we can blow this lot off the park as we did at the start of the second stanza, then far too complacent at 24 -10, started to play tig and pass and not stick to how we had secured a 14 point lead.....in the end lucky to get a point.

Plus points, Snitch great return, Dixon goalkicking carn't spake , rangi well rangi and Joe Arundel great game.

Negatives; Need to come out he traps all guns blazin' and blow oppostion away early doors, Ferres another poor show, handing, penalties perhaps a spell on the bench to get some form back def. NOT a centre, Mathers good on attack but bad defensively.
But hay, ho I would take 3rd in the league ATMIT

All the usual northern bias rolled into a few short paragraphs. I suppose its only in London that there are road works. Certainly never been caught on the M62 around Castleford in the past. Beer prices in London is such a boring comment now a days. If you know where to go its not that expensive and really is something that you should cost into your trip from the end of your garden path.

As for 500 to 600 don't make me laugh. I bet you were the drunken idiot who was telling a journalist that ONLY CASTLEFORD in the RL would bring that many fans to London on a Friday.

As for the crowd. Well just look at Salford's tonight are you going on their site to have a go at them? They have loads more years to build their crowds.

The ES standard offer was clearly well received and after a close exciting game I would hope that a % return. I will also add that the club had coverage in the ES this week as a result which can only be good.

Away from the Stoop the game is played by thousands of kids in schools and is getting stronger. I am not here to be a spokesperson for Quins but take your insular Northern comments and engage your brain before commenting on the south.

Anyway I went as a neutral last night and cheered to the rafters as Quins went in with 2 to go. Your lot blew it big time. Thought they had won it (as did the 300 fans in the stand).

So you were not a neutral then ?, anyway I dont really want to get into a debate about this but RL will never be well supported in London the people there are just not interested and you can have no comback about this, there were 5000 free tickets on offer for last nights game and you still could not atract a crowd of 4500 and that was with around 500 coming from Cas. I dont like to knock people for trying but when will people accept that London is a failed expeiriment ?, I await all the comments of I dont know what I am talking about and this is only sour grapes but I am sorry this is a fact.

No. It's an opinion.

Got to say the Stoop is a smashing ground, i've been at least half a dozen games now and always enjoy the place. Good natured banter and good facilities. Not the best place to get to on a friday night if you don't know the area or have a good sat nav. As for the game must say a point lost and nearly two but certainly gave the quins fans a good night.
Was surprised there was only 4100 and summat, given there were 5000 free tickets available. But if that was there best crowd this year then it's an improvement.
Must say when that last Quins try went in under the posts i felt pretty sick, but hey ho thats entertainment the usual Cas style. icon_smile.gif

Of the 500/600 Cas fans who made the trip down to london, maybe half of those watched the Curtain raiser.

Thanks for those that did come to support the game.

IMO a better game than the Main feature :/

To attach a tag of 'Northern Bias' to complaining about traffic and beer prices in London is to completely ignore the views of every work colleague I've ever spoken to. Yes, I'm from Castleford, but I live in High Wycombe and work in Croydon alongside an office full of southerners who, like me, would be only too happy to moan about a) traffic and b) the price of beer.

On Friday I came off the M40, down to Brentford and across Kew Bridge. I can assure you, the North and South Circulars were utter sh*te. Hardly surprising though, when the local Super League team decided to put on a fixture at such a time as to leave fans wading through the Friday evening rush to try and get there.

Please, reel your neck in and don't be so quick to jump on the 'all you northern mungos hate us' bandwagon. The OP wasn't having a pop at Quins for the hell of it. Rather, he seemed to me to be pointing out some pretty relevant facts about what might be adversely affecting attendances at (location and kick off times aside) what is a very welcoming Twickenham Stoop.

May I suggest that you read the latest issue of RLW in the ever excellent "Mythbusters" Column, a rather fine article by Michael O'Hare entitled "LONDONCAPITAL CITY. and the overall benefit's the game could gain.

But like News International why should you let the truth get in the way of a good tale?

Quote: tigerman10 "IMO a better game than the Main feature '"


It was an okay game of grassroots RL nothing more, nothing less with the best team winning. And notwithstanding that the Cas full back who IMHO was your best player seemed intent on provoking a fight with anyone in a black shirt at every opportunity and your no 16 appeared to want to forearm smash the opposition in every tackle he made.

The problem is the people accusing us of "Northern Bias" just can't see their own prejudice due to the big chip on their shoulders.

Quote: Scabbycat "we are probably in a false position. we have to play saints twice, warrington twice, wigan twice, leeds twice. The fixture list has been kind to us, but we have a lot of hard games to come. I hope we dont hit a slump now.'"
Yeah i would agree with that mate when you take in to account 3 of the teams you have played have suffered multiple sending offs in all 3 games cas in the early parts have had the penalty count heavily in there favour the were really lucky against London and now the hard part of castelfords season is about to begin mattison had the easy rides now lets see how he goes in the hard part of the season.
