Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Opening fixtures 2024
Must admit it threw me the Leigh game being mentioned
Re: Opening fixtures 2024
Makes me think the WCC isn’t quite sealed yet but hopefully they get it over the line.
I’m stumped as to why Leigh at home wasn’t the first game for us. We’ve not had a home opener for ages, it’s a loop fixture opponent, it’s League Champions vs Cup Holders, it’s a local rivalry, Degsy would build the feeling around it moaning about obstructions and so on and on. If the WCC is on, we may well now play Leigh in a midweek, part way through the season. That will reduce what could’ve been a 20,000 crowd by 7,000 or 8,000. The powers that be just seem totally incapable of running the sport.

Castleford in February. Oh the joy.

Re: Opening fixtures 2024
They obviously just dont get it when it comes to bringing the crowds
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
Re: Opening fixtures 2024
If I'm reading things correctly 10 of our first 14 fixtures are away from home. What a way to get the crowds for the champions flooding in and will mean that most of our home fixtures will be during the main holiday season!! I know that we are always affected by the pitch maintenance issue but this seems ridiculous.
