Cant see Seumanufagai or either Martin starting the game myself.

Sorry didn't know I was in charge of who leeds have available to play who would you suggest Leeds play then since there's so many superstars to choose from to put on bench jog on div.

Just to cut in on this friendly exchange, you missed off singleton which average as he's been on many an occasion he's gone ok recently.

Wouldn't have Singleton in me along with Ferres but Ferres will play regardless of how he plays Singleton scored a try against Catalans that stevie wonder would have scored that's it, was ok against Wigan a couple of weeks ago but he's been one of our poor props all year, rather have Seamanufagai, Cuthbertson, Oldezki and let Merrin go there as well because Donaldson doesn't deserve to be dropped and Sutcliffe will get a gig somewhere in 17 but I'd rather have him coming off bench to spell our other forwards.

Sorry to be boring and ask about practical stuff but what are the parking options in and around Cas? Possibly getting some mates to go so need to need a plan as I will likely be responsible for getting us to the vicinity of the ground.

Second, where do home and away fans go in the stadium or is it just a mish mash throughout? Living in Ponte it will be easier for me to get tickets from the Cas shop (don't have a printer) though if different stands are for different sides it will mean being in with all the Cas fans...

Thanks for any help you can give

Cas fans don't mind you in with them... until you start winning!

There’s a big public car park near the ground, I’m not sure if its free on Friday evening as it was a Sunday when I used it last time its about a 10minute walk from the stadium.

Away fans stand in the uncovered section if the ground but as dar as Im aware you can get to it from any standing area?

I think, the only part of the ground you can’t get in is the Weldon Road end as that’s “members only” IIRC.

I’ve always stood in the railway end opposite the Weldon road end, you’ll have to walk behind the club shop and round the training paddock and you’ll see the turnstiles easy enough. If your students cash in on the reduced prices as it’s one of a handful that do student deals.

Other than that, if you’ve not been before enjoy it, it’s a very unique throwback stadium, with fans right on top of you and a great atmosphere if it’s a good game. Beware of the “Cas Lasses” when you leave, they “absolutely hate Leeds” and they’ve very sharp tongues!

What is the difference between a Cas Lass and a Walrus?

One has whiskers and smells of fish.



The other is a Walrus.

‘Back in the day’ Leeds fans would make themselves at home in the side stand too, filling at least half of it. All the singing came from there, specifically the centre. It was like the South Stand but smaller and with no spiral staircase.

Sounds relatively ok then. Will I get away with wearing my leeds too or will I just be inviting the danger of hassle? I can handle verbal joshing and rudeness - I am a Newcastle fan in football so used to that wherever I go for away games!

Wear your colours with pride kid.

You'll be fine bud. Most cas supporters are sound. Watch out for the women though they're the worsticon_wink.gif

The majority of Cas fans are knowledgeable and appreciate the game as it should be - probably like most clubs to be fair.
Every club has a minority of idiots.
Quite fancy us for this one to be honest. Signs of life the last few weeks. Injuries will probably dictate the result here, both missing key players.

Always found Car fans to be fine, yes they like bait of banter but that's art of the fun. The only trouble I've ever had with other clubs fans is Hull FC and that was when we were at home, was quite a while ago now though and never had any issues since, although I've seen our own fans act like nob heads quite a few times.

One of the many good things about RL is the way fans can interact without aggro (on the whole).
Unfortunately some of my extended family are Cas fans so I could do with us bringing home the bacon this week.

Its never even entered my mind about not wearing a Leeds shirt to an away game. Not a problem. Get it on. Paint ya face, take a flag, haha.

Ah I know generally it is fine. The only hassle I have ever had is at MW and the GF and that was random drunk fans of other teams (often Hull) swinging at people.

I just wanted to check - I live in the area too so didn't want to antagonise anyone who might know where I live. 'S*itting on your own doorstep' and that!

I have a mate who is a Cas fan so if I see him there he talks the local language



Cheers all!

That's the great thing about RL. I lived in Bradford during the heights of Bullmania, but never experienced anything too hostile wearing a Leeds shirt.

Whatever we think about Leeds vs Cas, I don't think it has ever been so acrimonious as the days of Hetherington vs Caisley, even the more recent rivalry with Wigan didn't reach those heights (Tomkins v-signs etc). Maybe this is one of the contributing factors to GH losing his edge?

If I could change one thing about SL, it would be to get a competitive Bulls team back in. Halcyon days, especially when we finally worked out how to beat them!

You might struggle to differentiate.....

I can handle the cas fans bait I think the way to do it is just smile when they give it and dont respond with FB retorts. I'm not the same at Hull though

That side was simply too big - every player - Deacon apart - was huge, soon as the game sped up the Bulls went into decline. No way a prop like Vagana could prosper in today's SL

Golding named in Fev's squad for Sunday, only 7 backs in that squad and Calum Turner left out so that suggests Golding isn't playing for Leeds tonight.

Jesus, I hope we are not playing Sutcliffe there. I would literally pick another five or six players before I picked him.
