Are people being serious about the RFL changing the spreadsheet??? I'm not doubting that they would, cos we've all seen the farce of a Challenge cup draw a few years ago etc.

But seriously have they changed it??

Yes. Several fans including myself posted the link to it last night as a reference. It stated hudds were to play in principle and cas in alternative. Looked at it today and they have changed it to hudds/alternative and cas/principle.

I'll take your word for it sir!! But what a bunch of bent B'stds. The RFL are an absolute disgrace!

I'm off on one now!!!

......and they think that it's old stadiums that are keeping people away from games. Well they need to take a look at their ethics and ask why former followers have given up on the game. Grrrr!!!

I'm ok now rant over!!

I can confirm that the RFL spreadsheet had Hudds in home and Cas in away strip last night after the game had finished. I can also confirm the the RFL have since changed this to Hudds away kit, Cas home kit today. This is what we are dealing with, the governing body running our sport. What a set of juankers!

Edit- And thanks to Firefox saving my browsing history I still have the old file just to prove I didn't read it wrong yesterday.

And if you want to get at the truth rather than bask in conspiracy theory ask your club whether they received the kit directive sent out by the operations department in mid May. And there you will see that the information that has now been posted is correct: Giants alternate and Tigers principal.

Unless Cas have dodgy internet connections then the club got the directive and someone failed to read it and THEN your kit people failed to take 2 kits to games as required. The RFL cock up was a failure to update their own systems.

And if you owned your ground you wouldn't have been told to vacate by your football masters. Wouldn't have been a mix up then, but hey ho shiny stadiums and all. Doesn't matter if you own them maybe that should come up in the sl licenses own your ground get a bonus point.

Do you have evidence that Castleford received and acknowledged that email? And that the RFL checked to ensure the information had got through?

Thought not.

I don't think this is a sport any more. In fact it's reminding me a lot of WWE these days. I wonder who's booked to win our game down t'lane next week...

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

I assume your post is a send up - you can't really be that dumb?

First :At the moment the galpharm is basically 60% owned by davy and 40% owned by the council. In time davy will sell 40% to Town. Even when that happens the enduring contract created when the stadium was built will protect all 3 parties. The contract runs for over100 years



Second:the new playing surface includes 'artificial grass' plus real grass grown from seeds. These seeds need maximum sunlight to grow best and that occurs in.....June and July so sadly your childlike theory is nonsense.

Third: If the game was played at the Galpharm the Giants would still have requested the alternate kit - this being part of an agreement to help out Cas back in February! the difference being that if Cas had turned up at the galpharm with the wrong kit they could not have borrowed Giants shirts for the game.

other than those glaring inaccuracies your post is fine.

You are getting desperate. Ask Cas if they got the directive in mid may. The Giants CEO has spelt it out in detail. if Thewlis is wrong why doesn't Wright put the Cas case. his silence is deafening.


And if they got no emails why did Cas fail to take 2 kits as the rules require.

I'm not desperate in the slightest, but as you profess to be all seeing and all knowing perhaps you can answer those questions and clear things up. My point however still stands and was merely to highlight the fact that there may have been an error in communication somewhere. It's apparent that the clubs and the match officials haven't communicated with eachother prior to the match which demonstrates a complete lack of professionalism in all cases.

What doesn't make sense to me is why both teams only had one kit - Cas didn't have both (as the rules require) but neither did Huddersfield, despite being at 'home'. One has to assume that a home team will have access to both kits and therefore be easily able to change should a situation like this arise - clearly had the game been played at the Galpharm this would've been the case.

Also, what bearing does the game at Cas have on this one? The kits for that game were switched but that doesn't automatically mean that the original directives are switched for the reverse fixture too. Communication once again - it's fallen apart quite alarmingly somewhere.

This thread really does make me glad Ceebeejames is banned from the Wakey site.

I'd be interested to see evidence of such reciprocal deals after the February game and confirmation that Cas were in receipt of the amended kit directives. You're clearly happy to come on here and slate Cas when you clearly aren't aware of all the facts - none of us are actually. In fact, a number of the Cas players said on Twitter that we were supposed to be wearing white, which would seem to contradict your argument.

You profess to be all seeing and all knowing through the arrogant manner in which you construct your posts, and the fact that you can only see that Huddersfield can do no wrong.

Arrogance is something I hadn't ever associated with Huddersfield fans until last night when you all booed a Cas player as he was stretchered off the pitch injured. I hope you're all pleased with yourselves and your sportsmanship.

OBVIOUSLY NOT a Giants mistake,or they woul have been playing in Blue and White. So WHY didn't Cas just borrow 17 shirts form those numpties who preffered to dance about half naked all afternoon? Then we could have kicked off a bit sooner.

You may wish to check your eyesight before babbling anymore, the kit directive CLEARLY states Huddersfield ALTERNATIVE ie not the home shirt.
And cas was also told 1 week before the match that they would be wearing the ALTERNATIVE shirt.

According to league express it may actually be the fault of the RFL Quote"it appears the and RFL employee may have misinterpreted that information" this after both clubs were advised to wear alternative kit

some people have short memories, we remembered how come cas and the RFL didn't?


it was agreed in february when cas asked to wear their new away kit to "showcase" it on the first televised game of the weekly rounds, we agreed and so it was agreed that on the return fixture cas would wear their principle kit.so either the RFL or castleford or both forgot or chose to ignore this.
no blame whatsoever on huddersfields part.

surely cas fans remember this game??

Jeramiah, what it says on the RFL kit directive TODAY is the exact opposite of what it said YESTERDAY a couple of hours after the game. The RFL have updated the sheet to cover their own mistakes. This was noted by many posters, me being one of them and I even still have a copy of both thanks to browser histories.

I recall great times working in Huddersfield and having loads of banter with the Fartowners whenever our teams' paths crossed. However it's true, there does seem to be some kind of correlation between a club's apparent success or status and the attitude of its fan base. I prefer to think the decent ones are still there as they always have been and it's just that success encourages the local ar*eholes - the ones who have no idea about RL banter and genuine fans cameraderie - to come out of the woodwork.

I think less Giants fans booed than Cas fans cheered when Brough was on all fours but I haven't come on here to pick a fight. Non of us from any club like to see a player injured. The frustration of the Giants fans was after seeing a player appear to have a go at Crabtree with his knees whilst he was getting up to play the ball, then fall over alla Ronaldo when Crabtree pushed him and then come off on a stretcher. This is obviously now not the case as your player was genuinely injured and I don't think you'll find any Giants fan who is not sorry that your lad is injured and won't be playing for a while. Hope he gets well soon.
