It's supposed to be a ticket job, but I can't see it being a sell out, so maybe there'll be a pay on the day gate.

Let me know if you're coming, I'll try and talk some sense into you
, and give you a lesson in geography

My be Helen will post and let us know if you can buy tickets on the day.

I can't see Cas coming in that great a number to be honest, not enough to fill the place.

With the greatest of respeect, I don't think most people will be expecting a "contest"

Nope, why would the Castleford fans want to come all that way to suffer a giant killing

Hopefully they will bring a large number over, they seem to me to be good supporters of their team. They kept going in large numbers when they were relegated.

I applaud the Clubs attempts to woo Bradford Bulls fans to Cougar Park for the day but please, give them some credit. You can't possibly watch the telly in the Hall of Fame bar and the game on the pitch at the same time.

By the way, I'm off to Cas Vegas on Sunday to do a bit of spying and to watch them beat the Bulls. I've seen the Bulls about 7-8 times in the last few years and I've never seen them win yet! ITS BRILLIANT!!! I chose my games well. Last game was when they played HKR, pure joy to see the last second drop goal rob them of a win when they thought they had nicked it with a last minute drop goal.

My most memorable Bulls game was the "Chris Joynt voluntary tackle" Grand Final and I especially enjoyed watching Leeds thrash them 44v2 at Headingley last Easter. Oh, I was there when Saint Helens beat them senseless in the semi final of the Challenge Cup at Huddersfield a few years back.

Thanks, Helen
