This game should have either
A be abandoned
B be played when Castleford got someone to get the tops to Halifax
Had it have been a football game it would not have been played icon_smile.gif

It has happened in football and not too long ago as well, however don't think they ever made the mistake for a televised game.

Having just got back from France yesterday afternoon, I flicked the SKY game on midway through the 2nd half, I must admit I was confused as hell as to why Cas were playing in Halifax's kit and the game was at Halifax...??!!!

One thing's for sure, it won't done Halifax's chances of a SL license any harm. The stadium looked great and gave us a preview of what could be in the future.

Quote: twosevenzero "Or, just follow the RFL directive at all games, no 'requesting' to wear your alternate kit, why did Hudds want to change to white anyway when their home kit is claret, if they had just worn the kit instructed by the RFL none of this would have happened. As for taking both kits to away games, who, and when, would decide which kit is to be used ?, what time would the decision be made ?, 1 hour before ko, 2 maybe, by the ref (if he's arrived in time), by an RFL official (who would just follow the directive anyway), would this apply to the Challenge Cup Final ?, plus it would mean carrying 4 kits to all games, 1 home plus 1 spare home kit (blood bins, rips etc), 1 away plus 1 away spare. Stick to the RFL directive and its simple.'"



At Cas this season Cas wanted to wear their AWAY shirt when at home to maximise sales as it had just come out. The Giants agreed on the condition they could wear their away shirt at the corresponding match. This was agreed with CAs and the RFL. It was confirmed to them in may of this year. The RFL then updated their website to state CATEGORICALLY that the kits for this game would be HUDDERSFIELD ALTERNATIVE, CAS PRINCIPLE.

Cas got it wrong and did not bring their other kit so were forced to change.

But if clubs were told before the season starts that they cannot deviate from the RFL kit guidelines none of this would have happened, Giants saying to Cas ,yes, you can wear your away kit at home if we can wear our away kit for a home fixture !!!!!, are people in Cas so gullible that they only buy 'away' kits after watching them play one game in it ?.Play home games in your home kit and let the visitors change if there is a clash, simple, I understand your point about Cas getting it wrong and bringing the wrong kit but all this could have been avoided by just sticking to the RFL guidelines. icon_wink.gif

All this wearing away kits for your home game is rubbish and should be stopped.

Speaking as a retired kitman (football) the home team wore their home kit as stipulated to the football league at the start of the season, we always contacted the home club before travelling to confirm then decided on which kit to take that would not clash.
When I watched this live on Sunday I could not believe what was happening, shambles, be interesting to see the outcome, bet Castleford's sponsers ( on the shirts) are not happy.

For some strange reason I was dragged to watch PNE play Notts County in 1999. County forgot to bring any kit......nevermind the wrong one!. They ended up wearing Prestons away kit!.
