Some great ideas here, especially those which raise a bit of brass for the club!

I think that we should invite some Cas legends to attend the game, aswell as other legends of the game. We should have a commemorative programme produced with a look back through the years at Wheldon road. Perhaps a mention of the record holders, tries, conversions, appearances etc etc. We should maybe do the same with a special commemorative DVD, showing some of the earliest video records of the ground and games at Wheldon Road.

Perhaps if there is anything worth auctioning we should have a special event to rasie some funds.

Should we make a special request to the club to name a stand behind the posts at the new ground as the 'Wheldon road stand?'.

How about the road leading up to the side stand that is for standing spectators being called "New Wheldon Road" so that side stand would be the WRE

Brad Heppy, what a lift to the fans when he came on

I recall Graham Murray commenting on Hepi

He told the Rhinos players that they might as well have a big red cross on their heads when he is on the pitch

Just imagine the atmosphere if at that last game we get some of our past heroes to attend -I'm sure if we asked Vowlesy would come and brad is still playing somewhere down south. And then there is the likes of Eager and Fritz not to mention old time stars sush as Alan Hardisty, Mal Reilly, Grahame Steadman,John Joyner and Lee Crookes - we could go on forever. What a day of mixed emotions it would be!!

One of my greatest memories was when I really became a Cas fan, the game where we beat Wakey 86-0. Now that was particularly sweet

I say if again!...but the last season at Wheldon Road/Jungle, how about the home shirt in the same design of the 1986 Challenge Cup win, with the names of the 50 greatest Cas players (voted by the fans and club officials)woven into the shirt?

The away shirt same design as the 1969/70 Challenge cup win,with the season ticket holders for the last season at W.R woven into the design like the 2002 shirt?

Think most would by both,i would

Id personally settle for that, a good lick of paint and the old girl will do for me.

I just hope the atmosphere goes with us to this new ground because all the others i have visited arent half as good as the ones they have replaced..... hull, hull kr, warrington, wigan, Huddersfield . all soulless pits without half the atmosphere or character of their predecessors.

10 years time eh, the way superleague is going , Ill be glad to still have a club to follow
