Good news for them financially but it sounds friggin' ridiculous.

Still doesn't beat the ASS

Always be Wheldon Road to me.

Aye, me too. And I'm from the post-Super League generation.

who cares what it's called ? it's bringing investment into a hard-up sport - well done & good luck Cas

Anything that helps keep Cas in SL is good by me. I think its a disgrace that such a great club is seriously in the frame for losing its SL franchise. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that.

Like everyone else has said.. yes it sounds ridiculous but money is money. Wheldon Road it will always be.

It will be The Lane to me.

Why could they not have still called it the Jungle (The PROBIZ Jungle)? Why the Coliseum?

I seem to remember them having 'Jungle' as a sponsor a while ago on their kit so maybe whoever they are still had the rights to naming the stadium?

I would assume to make it unique to our new sponsors, castleford is a roman town too so there is some history backing up that name.

At the end of the day they can call it anything they want if they are investing in the club,people arent forced to use the name, it was always wheldon road or darnt lane to me rather than jungle.

Maybe because Probiz wanted to get rid of the remnants of the old sponsor. The Jungle was our old sponsor, but for some reason we kept the name after they pulled out.

As people have said who really cares what the stadium is called?

The greatest stadium in the NRL as well as being known as 'Shark Park' is actually called 'Toyota Park'... it has also been Endeavour Field, Ronson Park & Caltex Park in the past...

All sounds bizarre and a bit of a pipedream to me...I had to check myself to see if this was April 1 (especially with a backer called Nahaboo)

the international appeal of Castleford...still if you can bring the World Cup to Qatar maybe you can bring a medium size club in a minority sport to the completely barren lands (Lebanon Aussies aside) of the Middle East.

Mind you maybe thats more realistic than using their 400 offices around the UK to market the club. Sure there will be a big demand in Aberdeen for the club..

As for calling it the Coliseum...it would make a modicum of sense if you changed the nickname of the club to something Roman - Castleford Centurions anybody?!!!

more commonly known amongst the fans as sh**hole swamp stadium!

Woolooware Swamp actually



Yet the same people that say that are probably poms that live in Perth or people like Roosterbooster who claims to live in 'Sydney 2000'...ie people that couldnt tell their own backsides from a hole in the ground






God I love Shark Park...

It really dosn't matter what you call a stadium, if a rubbish team play then that is what happens and people will not go.

It's a strange WORLD WIDE thing.

Yet in RL the STADIUM is the primary point of the game and what happens on the field is seen as irrelevant.

Truely bizarre.

Barry, you're just like a old man in the corner, being quite racist. Shark Park isn't too bad, but I'll forever love AAMI Park as a venue since the Melbourne Derby in the a-league this year.

How was I being racist???!!

With you're funny fixation on all people from England - It's getting actually beyond a joke now.

Vivat Lagentium!

Castleford Christians

Just to clarify, As part of their sponsorship of the club, They are sponsering the new stadium, So the new stadium will either be called the Probiz Stadium, Or the Colliseum. The money these guys have invested is absolutely ridiculous. And they then met because they couldnt wait till 2012, To sponsor the jungle too. Free money for Cas

Not only are they serious about the stadium, But the club as well. And advertising the club and the game in the middle east is going to work wonders for investing in us, And could work well for the game as a whole.

Also, More good news this week as a big name will be handing over the plans to the council on Wednesday i think, For full planning permission of the new stadium.

All positive signs, Which should secure a stadium, A Franchise And a very bright future for Cas.



Bet those Wakey fans with the wooden spoons a few years ago arent so smug now.

Now thats something we can agree on....

RL in Qatar? Don't tell them about the RFL equality campaign then...
