No room for the BEER TENT then i suppose ?

Anybody contacted JACKO for a Half time set seeing as hes desperate to get a GIG in UK.

What a sod we are in Egypt for this tie , just had no faith in making it through a Challenge Cup round ( JOKE lads ). Somebody give a cheer for our Simon he gets nowt these days hes a forgotten toiler and gets a bit down without family in the stands. .

See you all at Oldham , most of you will have noticed the scoring TIME line for their Blackpool match , what on earth was going on ?.

Hi guys

Just to confirm the Castleford game and season ticket situation.

For all Championship clubs their season tickets are eligible for their 1st round which is round 3 (Pia).
Super League clubs - their season tickets are eligible for their 1st round which is round 4 (Cas).
All junior season tickets are for all clubs are eligible upto the semi's.

The reason for this is to increase crowd attendances during the earlier rounds plus the old days of having a big pay day when you get a top club have more or less gone.
Champiosnhip clubs do receive a compensation pay out for this.

Hope that makes sense and i hope to see you all down at Cougar Park this SUnday and against Castleford.

Thanks, Helen

I remember my 1st game at Cougar park. The 1998 Cup game v Wigan. The place was packed. Helens right though, those days are dying, and this is a way to try and bring them back. You only have to have watched the tv games the last couple of years and seen the empty stands.

It always amazes me why the clubs dont fill the side of the stadium that the camera is looking at. It makes it look like the popular sport it should be.

Anyone got a picture of the stadium.
I cant for the life of me remember what it looks like and how many stands it as.
