With it being on TV some Wakefield fans and some Cas fans will choose to sit at home. Why fork out when you've paid the licence fee for it?

And no, I don't think it's viable paying out for a TV ad. I don't know how Wakey have fared in terms of paying fans and costs paying out for the TV ads and whether it's made a profit or not.

However, expenses would be better by marketing in each respective town.

Don't really care about the crowd to be honest.

What matters to me the most is seeing Castleford progress through to the next round.

Fully old pal, we keep telling you this, we're a city!! There's only 1 town in this derby game





FWIW I think the adverts are all about raising the clubs profile and IMO they have worked. I do detect a slight undertone of jealousy though!

Not jealous at all. Credit to Wakefield for trying something new. TV adverts cost money, though; I don't know if it's been successful in getting the walk-up, profile or not. Attendances have risen slightly but judging by from the comments I saw earlier in the season, some of that could be attributed to new owners rather than a TV ad.

City/town, you got the gist, no difference except for a cathedral and population size.

Economic prosperity, employment ratio's, social class, good old fashioned good looks and intelligence- to add to your list!



Enjoy your week & don't rest too many players at the weekend in preparation for the big game!

I never had you down as an "armchair fan" Fully!!!

This is our chance to show off our (shared) region as the hub of RL it is. Get everyone down for this!

Never heard this thought it was the Rhubarb triangle

Don't fancy this at all, cup specialist Kear and all that.

For whatever reason I would have fancied just about any other SL club away more than this one - it is like when Leeds got Millwall in the play-offs t'other year!

Us by 20 or them by 6!

Oh get over yourself you wuss, I post a couple of times twice a year after OUR game with you. Hardly take over the forum do I, get a grip.

Oh and you can add my reply to this which even in your addled mind would be considered reasonable

Can't go so glad it's on tv!

As posted on our forum.

Anyone else jumping around their living room when you got drawn out against us? Obviously the match isn't as big as the million pound 1 but with 2 clubs worrying about the franchise application a challenge cup quarter final spot is huge. You will then be one game away from the Semi Final.

9000 + at Belle vue both sets of fans should flock down in their numbers this is a huge game. Lets all show the Nation why both clubs belong in Super League and why the league needs exciting derby games ..... Cannot wait. Put the hate aside and lets provide a advert for both clubs on national TV.

Glad it's Saturday, should be able to make it now.

Damn right.

I have no hate for WTWC and will relish the short trip across the common ( if my new baby has arrived by then )

This is another chance for our district to show the UK how we can compete on every level.

please lets not let the trolls from both our clubs turn us into a laughing stock with the bile they seem to be able to drudge up.

Well said.

This is a big opportunity for us a region. The RL public should grasp it with both hands!

The vast majority of the hate seems to be one way.

I was very happy with the draw, because it should be a great game, with it coming so soon after your shock victory over us, we'll be out for setting the record straight. Then with Wakefield always raising their performances for Cas, plus Kear's incredible knack of getting a team up for knockout footy, plus it being on TV. It should be a great match.

Obviously knew to the game/region then.

Not an armchair fan SWC.

I just don't care if 1000 or 10,000 turned up to Belle Vue. What matters to me is seeing Cas get through to the next round; I want Cas to be successful.

Had it been at the PROBIZ Coliseum, then it may have been a different matter because it is commercially and financially more beneficial to us.

Stop for second Fully, whined your neck in and untangle your thong- the "armchair fan" jibe was just a bit of fun.

We should all get down there, if your "militant" about not giving money to WT don't buy anything whilst in, but get down and shout your team on, they deserve that from everyone of us.

Shared gate I believe

So it is as beneficial in that respect.

And price agreed at £15 for pre sale (bargain) and £17 on the day

Not about not giving money to WT and I will be going.

I was just saying, I wouldn't care about the attendance because it's not as beneficial to Cas as it would be for a home game. Simple to understand really.

Got my ticket. See you there.

Gone give us a smile! Might even get you a pie if your nice! You'll need something to chew on in the second half again!
Anyways until next Saturday I bid your farewell!

Good luck at Wire.

No way will cas let the Pusstcats get a Cup Victory. Wakefield will be too over confident. Their victory was very fortunate . Video ref and they would have had 2 tries disallowed, we went to sleep. terrm will have them well drilled for that game.
