It was rumoured by D***head Dave on another thread, but now confirmed....

rlBulls to play Boxing Dayrl


Drive to Cas for 12 noon on Boxing Day. Considering how I normally feel on Boxing Day morning, that could be difficult!

Why is it all our friendlies are always away matches?If we want to use it to raise revenue then a home match would make more sense wouldn't it? And from a selfish point of view more Bulls fans would attend a home game.

And it's easier to get to Odsal with a monster hangover than it is to get to the Jungle

To be fair, it does say "This year's game will be at the Jungle", which to me suggests they may alternate it.

We're still owed a home friendly with Hull KR from 2007, but it was scuppered both years by the RFL bringing games forward. They've assured us it won't happen again.

I think the gate is split between the 2 teams for friendlies.

With the gate profits being split I expect Cas costs will be much lower to open the ground. If the team has at least 5 first teamers in it you can count me in!

Guess we are playing Wakey again then.

nail on head. it costs a fortune to open odsal for a friendly, unless they close the terraces and only open main stand.

Wasn't a friendly with HKR part of the Stanley deal? Whitehaven in the Donaldson deal? Westerman anyone??
