Wasn't it an Huddersfield 'home' game ?

If so, why did Cas have to change, they will have brought their away kit. Hudds should have been made to change as they seemed to be in their away kit.

Me and my brother was at the Cas away game and just before the teams came out,and i swear this is true,he said "wouldn`t it be funny if we came out wearing Castleford shirts".We still can`t believe he said that to this day.And i think the year was 1992 because i seem to remember they were only a couple of weeks from the challenge cup final against Wigan,and we beat them.

Vaguely remember a team having to wear our Wastewise blue with green away shirt at our place one time.

For some reason, which I cannot recall (with it being away), I was the mascot for that Castleford game. At least I came out in the right shirt!

What costume did you wear?

One of the commentators on sky I think it was Eddie Hemmings said the teams were wearing the kits as a directive from the RFL. If this had been noticed when the teams were warming up it would have been almost as quick for someone to go back to Huddersfield and collect the home kit as brong the kit lady from her home.

The kit lady also helps out on the hospitality side of this for Halifax; so she might have been there anyway.

They said they'd dragged her in and spoilt her roast dinner.

I heard that it was a mistake in the insructions from Red hall, But having done the kit mans job I would have had both kits on the bus just in case. It would also help if clubs managers actualy had a chat the day before to sort out normaly trivial items, I used to ring teams(in amature level) to find out what facilitys they had & more important what shirts they played in if they were they unknown to us. It still did not help if your kit man has a brain storm & forgets the kit but thats life.

They may well have;but saying she was here anyway, but it was nice of her to open up and get the kit out for us, isn't as interesting TV.

It's not a problem you ever really got in RL until the common sense approach of clubs contacting each other to sort it between themselves, was replaced by the good old governing body telling teams what wear. Strange one that!

Seems Huddersfield asked the rfl weeks ago if they could wear their white strip and they said yes and told cas to wear their home traditional kit and they just plain forgot !!!!

The instruction for Hudds in White and Cas in Yellow was issued during May to the clubs (directives are issued and revised). I would presume that the kit man only looked at an old copy that had Cas in white - however, operational rules do state clearly that the visiting side should take 2 sets of kit with them - usually Principal and Alternative (Home and away to the fans).

Spot on. It was amazing how so many numpties assumed the Giants were at fault without checking a single fact.
