If Cas want to avoid a clash, and they are right IMO to do so, why didn't they decide straight away to have either a Friday night game, Saturday afternoon game, Sunday lunchtime game or Sunday evening game?
That way, there would be no chance of clashing with England, regardless of how they fared in their group and all the fans would know well in advance what the scheduling was, rather than giving people 3 days notice.'"
Stu, the problem is, it makes sense what you have said, say no more eh  |

Of course as you say, Friday would have been a better option, if it had been in the original fixture list, but I imagine the club thought like everyone else (including the England players), that England would walk the group and be playing Saturday. OK it's not ideal playing on Sunday morning (would have preferred 12.30) but it's preferable to Sunday night and I'm sure more people would have been put out if they had changed it to any time on Saturday. |

Wimbledon? We've never rearranged a game for Wimbledon, which happens every year, before. Why should we start now? Sets a bad precedent imo. So what if a game clashes with another sporting event – I'm a Cas season ticket holder because I'm a [irugby league[/i fan. Harrumph! And so forth.  |

Nah - we left Cas in '72. I looked at Saturday trains, but changing the ticket would cost as much again, plus a hotel room for an overnight stay.
The annoying thing, as I've pointed out in a polite email to the club is the timing. I left it later than usual to buy train tickets, only this week, which meant I paid more than usual - and to then have it changed at 3 days notice, because it clashes with a football game, means all I've got is some exensive but useless pieces of cardboard ...

It's unfortunate tb, I applaud you for your support from such a distance, but I think the club had no alternative on this matter.
From a personal point of view I did want to watch the England game, but whatever the kick off time, I would have been at the Bulls game, but I'm sure a 3.30pm kick off would have had a massive impact on the attendance.

This will obviously be a money spinner for cas because they will hope people will stay on to watch the game spending money at their bars especially bradford fans who may not make it home in time!!!!!!!

Then you'd have thought a one o'clock kick off would have been better (and I'd have been able to make that ...) |
