Yet my info from both camps bout today had us down in white



All publicity is good publicity

We know that. It is just everyone else

What does it matter it will all come out in the wash and lets face it, it provided some good prematch entertainment. ATEOTD lets see what the RFL say

Obviously not a written rule that the home team have to play in their home kit as when we played at Cas earlier in the season which was also a sky game cas played in their white kit and we played in claret and gold

The RFL send out emails directing the club which kit to wear. p3 of todays RLE:

"The kit directive that we have had us in alternative kit and the Tigers in their principle kit. This was confirmed by referee Phil Bentham on behalf of the officials." said Giants MD Richard Thewlis.

But according to the RFL website they had us down for wearing the principle kit. So someone somewhere at the RFL has ballsed. Cas are apparently meant to bring both kits anyway, which as I've said before I think is stupid. But they didn't.

If we'd have played at the Galpharm then our other kit would have been there and it wouldn't have ended up being so farcical. So it's a combination of factors.

from what i understand is because we agreed to swap colours for the game at Cas then the kit directives laid out for this one should have been reversed ... ie we played in our home kit at Cas therefore they were to do the same in our home game

Too much bleach --and 26 players in "all white " strip--you got it (non)spot on def!

The Kit for the Cas game was advertised and cleared with the RFL 2 months in advance and was worn to help raise money for Help the Heroes. The RFL then directed the club to wear the shirts again for the Leeds away game. Don't talk about pot, kettle, etc, when the club has raised money for a very good cause.

Correct there GD.
Cass asked that they be allowed to wear thier New away shirt at our game at castleford to promote sales of the shirt. This was agreed to on the understanding( in agreement withe the RFL that the shirts would be reverse in the return game.

If you NOW look at the kit Directive on the RFL website is says Huddersfield Giants ALTERNATIVE and Castleford Tigers PRINCIPAL

I thought we'd changed ends in the warm up, id been watching Cas

Quote ="Rhino Roy"Just some input from someone who knows........the RFL state which strip the teams wear. This is non negotiable just cos the sun is shining and the Giants fancy a run out in the white kit. The home team will always wear their principal kit unless it clashed with both the other teams kits. At that point they would then have the hosts change their kit to the away. The fact is that someone at Huddersfield has not taken any notice of the match directive or have simply assumed that Castleford would wear their principal kit. Whichever way you look at it someone at Huddersfield has screwed up not castleford'" Wrong. You obviously dont know www.therfl.co.uk/referee/kit_directives

I think we get the point now Ceebeejames

Nah, it needs hammering home some more IMO.

Why does it matter to other fans anyway? Christ, its not that big a deal.
Trolling for the sake of it.

Sad!

One good thing that came out of the whole debacle, was hearing the "Hali... Hali... Hali... Hali... Halifax" chant again in Super League!

Mathers looked really embarrassed when the Giants fans started singing it!!

Avoiding mud-slinging here, doesn't this raise the idea that it would be a good idea for BOTH teams to be obliged to have both kits available. THat way if Cas had (as they seem to have done) managed to only bring the white kit, at least Hudds could have quietly agreed to wear their home kit.

A lesson for the future perhaps?

Incidentally, assuming I've been on the moon for the past few weeks (I've been away and moving house) why are you playing at the Shay at the moment?

We'll assume you have



The pitch is being completely relaid with some super duper synthetic/grass combo, so we're at the Shay for yesterday and next 2 "home" games
