Cas is cas, normy is wakefield.

I think we need to get this straight - Castleford whilst in the Metropolitan District of Wakefield and also coming under the Council of WMDC is by no means geographically part of the Wakefield area.

So your saying it`s not even part of the Wakefield area? I can understand you trying to make the point that Castleford isn`t in the city of Wakefield (Although it is) But to say its not a part of the Wakefield area is like saying rothwell isn`t a part of the Leeds area ha

Castleford is part of the [size5 towns area [/size- not Wakefield or even Wakefield City as some people give it its "new" name.

Thats just not true, Castleford was abosrbed in to the City of Wakefield when the county borough of Wakefield merged with the West Riding municipal borough of Castleford (among other places) to create the City of Wakefield as per the local government act of 1972 confirmed by the cities letters patent in 1974

This is tedious isn't it? What does it matter. The Wakefield "area" has two rugby clubs local derby let see who wins. Lets forget geography and see what the rugby brings.

I think that we (Wakefield) created a hostile atmosphere for the fixture at Wakefield and it is sad that this has been kept going. The derby game hypes itself and it should be just that. This smacks of school yard, I didn't agree with how it was done originally and think it should be left to rest. I have a number of friends who follow Cas but I fear that this is starting go beyond rugby rivalry.

Finally a Wakefield fan who speaks sense

Well said!

as an outsider looking in surely if castleford was in wakefield it would be called wakefield there would be no castleford

Well said that man

You know perfectly well its part of Hull not Wakefield after all the players are playing for the local team HULL

What a simpleton way of looking at it. That's like saying Skirlaugh, Myton, Hessle, etc are not in Hull!!

Back to the game on Sunday - Tigers could be without any recogised half-backs according to the Cas & Ponte Express this morning.

Chase has had an operation, Danny Orr came off against Wigan with a dead-leag and Jamie Ellis isn't fit enough to play. Milner and Holmes at 6 and 7 ?

what the hell is going on with ellis
