Is this the place to discuss the game? If so, Cas have named the same 19 as last week; TM is quoted in the League Express as saying a return for Brent Sherwin looks unlikely; and Steve Ganson has been handed the whistle.

What's actually wrong with Sherwin? Is he stuck in the doorway of KFC?

I think you'll find it was his foot not his knee

Exactly, im struggling to get there this friday!!!

Friday night games are stupid unless your on Sky!! Whats wrong with Sunday afternoon!!

To be honest I do agree our home games against Saints, Wire and Salford and maybe even Leeds should be played on a friday night but games against teams like you and wakey who struggle with numbers as it is should be played on sunday.

All teams should play the teams around them on friday nights and the rest on saterdays and sundays.

As someone pointed out about your 900 or so last year, it was the first away game of the season for you, I just thought it would of been better, as I remember you brought around 1,500 once and for the first game at the JJB probably around 2,000.

That was a play off game (when Cas won incidentally) and I believe there were a few more than 2000 attended.

During our sojourn in NL1 in 2007 we regularly took between 1500 & 2000 to away games and outnumbered the home fans.

Fact is fans will go watch a side that's winning and is optimistic of winning whatever level that's at. The result and the manner of it on Sunday will probably reduce the number of Cas fans travelling over to Wigan by a couple of hundred.

It's a long while back now but for the first game at the JJB i seem to recall the Noth stand being about 2/3 full so i'd guess there were about 3,500 cas fans there that night.

I've always been amazed by the Cas support tbh to say the town is so small. Hopefully as many as possible will be able to make it over on Friday as i'd expect it to be a real close game in which Cas have a good chance of winning the way we've started.
