Pontefract actually does have its own town hall, so again dewsbury is dewsbury, not castleford.

Quote ="Georgie Best on a Bloomer"May I just point out a few things.
People aren't regularly born in Pontefract Town Hall. However, they are born in the Maternity Unit of Pontefract General Infirmary, which serves the town of Castleford as well.
Pontefract does not have its own Dewsbury. Indeed, Dewsbury is a town in its own right, situated 15-20 miles away.
They usually come to Cas by road or rail. Not many people tend to fly as the distance doesn't warrant that method of travel.
Depends what you mean. If you mean "Is Dewsbury not closer to Bradford THAN it (Dewsbury) is to Cleckheaton?" the answer is yes. Dewsbury isn't closer to Bradford than Dewsbury is to Cleckheaton. Also, if you mean "Is Dewsbury not closer to Bradford THAN it (Bradford) is to Cleckheaton?" the answer is still yes. Dewsbury isn't closer to Bradford than Bradford is to Cleckheaton. But you could also mean is Dewsbury closer to Cas than Cas is to Bradford THEN that is Cleckheaton (from which I take you to mean a trip from Cas to Cleckheaton via Bradford). This time the answer is no. Dewsbury is much closer to Cas than Cas to Cleckheaton via Bradford. However, what relevance this has to a RL forum is unclear, and wouldn't you be better off using AA Milemaster?
This is always a problem. If you live in Agbrigg, Sandal or Wrenthorpe then Castleford is a long way from Wakefield. However, if you live in Sydney, Australia, then Castleford is close to Wakefield. So I suppose you can please yourself on that one.
The word "from" can confuse the issue, here, as indeed can the word "wakey" [sic. Checking the meaning of the word "from" (www.yourdictionary.com/from), you find it has many meanings, including: "at a place not near to; out of contact with: used to express absence, removal, separation, etc.," along with: "out of the possession or control of; free with respect to," and: "out of the whole of; out of unity or alliance with." So, using the word from in these respects, you are probably correct.
Incidentally, "ie." stands for "that is" whereas "eg." stands for "for example." It appears from your posts that you're confused about these two abbreviations.
I hope I've answered your points satisfactorily.
Happy New Year.

not many bradford born player in SL is my point, and before you start most cas born players will have been born in ponty as thats where the hospital is, all the success your team had a few years back and still cant fire players out like cas,wakey or wigan!'"
OMG can you read?? if so please read it again i was pointing out Gaz was from Ponte not Leeds. As to where Ponte is and even Gaz's mams house in chequefield, i used to pick him up for training so i do have an idea how close to cas it is
Now if you were in that team too then you will no me as i helped conny coach you as under 18s

| Long time reader of this board and nothing has prompted me to join in before this ridiculous statement coming from Bradford. Cas will always be classy and never adopt the Bradford way of 6 fat forwards just charging down the middle then one unexpected run by the backs.
How can someone from the home of boring rugby league criticise anyone let alone Cas ?

Well said.
I think the original poster needs to search on you tube for "The Legend that is Dean Widders".
He will be tearing it up next season.

So you disagree that Bradford play a style of rugby league that is , shall we say, boring ?

Bradfords Bulls' youth policy goes way and beyond anything Cas could dream of. Andy Lynch is the best you lot have come up with for the past 15 years.
Bradfords youth policy far exceeds Castlefords in quality and numbers.

Well they have the past 2 years, ill give you that. But until recently it's been anything but boring and the 6 fatties approach is just a myth, usually spoken by folks with poor eyesight.
I think they might have a deal on, if you run you might make it.x

| Our youth policy does not far exceed castlefords..the only two cluibs whose youth poilcy far exceeds others are wigan and Leeds.
We are getting alot better now, and we may exceed them in the future going by what players we have ready or are nearly ready, but at the mo we are probably on a par.

On par. Dont make me laugh. I could name a top class team of players that have developed into 1st team players from Bradfords youth system, Cas would be lucky to name 7 top class players full stop.
Well maybe not top class, but a very strong team.

| Ritz, you must be one of those that believes Maccas legacy is the youth sytem he left, despite it being alive and kicking long before Macca ever became head coach.

| If you two -er- persons (ahem!) would kindly take your Bradford Bulls-hit to your own board, I think the discerning fans of Castleford who actually KNOW about the merits of our youth system would be very grateful; as it is quite clear that by continuing your squabble on here, you are making yourselves into a laughing stock.
