Seems as though you are getting your wish.

No Friday night games except those chosen for sky.

Only negative for Saturday games for me is the extra traffic getting through town and parking?

Had started parking in St Stephens and walking through but that is a non starter on a Saturday afternoon.

It doesn't make that much difference to me but I've always preferred the atmosphere under the lights on Friday's.

I don't mind Sunday games but I'm not keen on Saturday afternoons. Apart from Catalans do any other club play regularly on Saturdays?

I see Rovers have done it in reverse.

Interestingly I see our dear neighbours across the river are no longer doing Sunday games and all their home games are to be a Friday night

One of the reasons being that no team has won the Grand Final playing home games on a Sunday afternoon

Is that the stadium car park or Walton street?

How is access these days?

Behind the South Stand, under the flyover, its a doddle to be honesty. We used to park near the Boulevard Academy but after the railway footbridge was shut it became a bit of a nightmare getting away. Ill keep this pass as long as I have a season ticket

Cas up first for us. When was the last time we played them in am opener? 2006?

Re: Match Days : Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:17 pm  

First up is Castleford at home on Sunday 19th February.

Full fixure list out tomorrow morning at 08.30.

We have generally been good starters - we've won eight round one fixtures in the last nine seasons which clearly suggests that the result of the first game isn't the be all and end all.

Yes a big win at Cas which we followed up the following week with another comfortable win at home to Wakey.

Wheels came off then and a poor run including a home defeat in the snow to Harlequins and a 0-46 hammering by Saints at the KC saw John Kear getting the sack.

Cheers for that, Bill Dalton

Think Danny Sculthorpe laid on a try for Cas with a chip kick that game
