I understand that the club is considering running a coach on Boxing Day but only if there is sufficient interest.

Anyone wishing to go can add their name to a list being kept at the ticket office.

Winning a friendly isn't going to make my xmas Mick, and losing one certainly isn't going to spoil it either!chillpill.gif

The Castleford supporters seem to think that this game will now take place on New Years Day with a 3pm kick-off as it's looking like that the freezing temperatures won't improve to allow the pitch to thaw out.

What is the obsession with having it on traditional hangover days?!?!?

I was just thinking that mate.

I'll be a right drunk mess on the 1st January as I'm sure everyone else will be.

Widnes vs Warrington has already been called and I suspect we'll be seeing this called off within the next 24 hours.

Anyone know what the weather will be like next weekend?

Castleford Tigers can confirm that the Boxing Day Challenge clash with Bradford Bulls remains on despite freezing temperatures.

Tigers chief executive Richard Wright said:

"Our team of ground staff are working all out here at the PROBIZ Coliseum to try and ensure Sunday's game is on.

"The pitch is visibly thawing out under the sunlight and measures are being taken to make the pitch be in playable condition for Sunday.

"Safety is paramount and we also have staff working hard to make sure the terracing and walkways remain safe for supporters.

"I will inspect the pitch again tomorrow so watch this space."
