I hope to see us just be competative on Sunday - something we haven't done since the Cats game. Unfortunatley for Tigers, we look like we don't want to be in SL. The more hammerings we get the more excuses we give the RFL to boot us out IMO. The rot has set-in I'm afraid and the natives are definately restless.

We made a shed load of unforced errors against London in the first half and then couldn't defend which is where their points came from. In the second half, we didn't leave the dressing room. Huddersfield's defence was far superior to London's which is why we had no creativity on Friday.

You'd need more than 3000 but the way we're playing (6 wins from 26 and last home win early July 11) 4500 would probably do it. Hull by loads.

I hope not. Don't want to lose Cas out of SL.

How's the plans for a new stadium going? Is it going to be near Xscape?

Going to Cas is a must almost like an home game for me in many ways, the only place the Boulevard atmosphere is re created.

Cas fans are great , the ale super and always the chance of bumping into an old time great, even Roger the dodger.

Probably for a different thread but it's difficult to see a future for us in SL beyond the current license period at the moment. You're probably in the minority for not wanting us out!

We have final planning permission for the stadium on a site between Xscape and the M62, but don't have the funds. We're currently waiting on a deal for Wheldon Road to be developed into a supermarket which would provide most of the funding to build our stadium, however progress is very slow and we haven't had an official update for some time.

Shouldn't be just about stadiums, Castleford have an excellent record for developing players, this alone should be enough.

I agree completely however the RFL have always put more emphasis on having a nice stadium. Indeed we may have one eventually and if the designs are anything to go by it really will be an excellent venue. Unfortunately the RFL also seem to believe that RL clubs exist in a little bubble that isn't affected by global recession - a major financial stepping stone in any current developments.

Good job it isn't then.


Why? It's only one facet of what's required in a modern sport.

I could say the same about Widnes who's only facet is a stadium. Personally I would rather have Cas than Widnes. So that (what I mentioned earlier) alone would keep them up at the next renewal

Apart from the stadium what do London, Salford and Widnes have over Castleford?

oops

And I'd agree with you, although their stadium wasn't the main reason they were promoted. Their Chairman played a very clever game with the RFL.


There's no doubt that right now Cas bring more to the sport than Widnes. Although the way Cas seem to be heading that gap is closing.


We have no idea what the relative state of these two clubs is going to be in three years time. Or who might be in a position in the Championship to offer a better option than one or either of them. Or even if anyone will be going down at all. It's therefore a tad early to be making those kinds of decisions IMO.


London offer a presence in the capital and extra cash on the TV deal. Salford currently offer a better team. Widnes we've already dealt with.

Correct

I was merely stating my opinion on a forum. My opinion may change next week never mind in 3 years
