It's next Friday 10th February Keith.

Not to worry you had me thinking (something im trying to give up) for a minute.

Why on earth would the organiser's want to put it on on the same night as Leigh's opening game, which is also being televised?

Considering that those who would most likely attend will either be on their way to Cas, getting comfy at home, or getting in a local hostilery early to secure a prime seat, there has been little if any thought processes activated in coming to this decision.

Yeah, I know you will be there Keith, and so would I and a lot of other folk like me who support both the Pro and Amatuer game had it not clashed, I would have loved to watch East v Miners but I will be at Cas, as you stated in the opening post the more there the more the juniors will benefit and hand on heart Keith you probably know that if it had been on another date there would have been a better attendance.

I agree. I watch both Easts and Miners but I too will be at Cas on Friday.
