His first game was Leeds at home a few weeks back. Left the ground singing "your not singing anymore" after we were stood near Leeds fans. Don't think he realised he was singing it at ourselves haha. Little bit to learn yet bless him. Sure he will understand more on his 25th birthday next month

haha. Nar he's only 5. Will he be free into the game by the way??

No idea mate, not a super fan lol. He sounds more educated (rl wise) than my wife tho

certainly a lot more than the scouse wendyball loving ppl I work with!!!

I'm staying in Manchester for the weekend (roses 20/20 day before). What's my best route from Manchester on the train?

As in directions from the station

You can catch a train to Wigan from Victoria or Piccadilly, when you arrive at Wigan Wallgate turn right at the exit and follow your nose, go past Wigan Pier over the canal bridge and it's on your right. Can't really miss it.

If you're feeling adventurous, turn right when you get to Seven Stars Garage (straight after the humpback bridge) and walk down the canal, it's a bit quicker.

Think we'll win saturday.
Reason being, out of the 2 teams we are the one coming into the game as the form team.
We are scoring tries for fun, the players confidence is on a massive high.
Scoring some wonderful team tries.

Not saying it will be easy far from it.
Wigan at home is one of the hardest games for anyone.
But we always seem to do well at the DW.

Cant wait for the game, gonna be a cracker.
Heard we are bringing 1500+ over the Pennines.
Its gonna be some atmosphere.

See you all Saturday
COYF

Castleford W9 L4 (69%)

Games within the top 5 since we last played:
Wigan W3 L1 (75%)
Castleford W1 L2 (33%)

Who is the form team again?

I'm talking about the form team going into this game, not from years back.
I know you cant bring yourself to say it

but we are the form team out of the 2 clubs 2014.

Like I have said, wigan away is one of the hardest places to go and get a win.
I really believe Saturday we will get that win, just my opinion .
Hope its a cracker.

Form has nothing to go on when it comes to knock out footy. Anyone can beat anyone so looking at form will get you nowhere.

It's all about who wants it most and home advantage.

Under 16s are a fiver in the north (away) stand.

I thought that the previous post had just explained that since we last met you have lost twice as many games as us - that we've won 2 more games than you, and that we've beaten better quality opponents (Leeds and Saints). Can you explain your reasoning behind your statement - or is it just a belief based on a feeling rather than evidence?

Poppy, Grimmy is talking about this SEASON.

I believe we have what it takes to win, but I'm far from confident. What we all know, is it's 2 high quality sides that play the game in a good way and it'll be a great crowd. A fantastic advert for the sport, and wouldn't have looked out of place at Wembley itself.

May the best team win.

Agree with all that apart from the great crowd bit! Bought my ticket earlier online and the sales look slower then slow.

I'd be surprised if it breaks 8k.

Do you work in PR by any chance?!!!

People don't buy in to the CC until the final, and other than giving tickets away for nowt I don't really know what more the club can do. The double header ticket for non ST holders is excellent value and £13 for the South or £15 in the East/West for ST holders is very reasonable.

Cup QFs, SFs and PO games should be among the biggest games of the season, but sadly they have some of the poorest attendances.

We will have on the north side of 2000 fans there. Surely your statement of 8k is a little low. You will have more than 6k won't you?? If not it's going to look a poor crowd.

5 and unders are not free no?? Don't mind paying a fiver but if he's free then there's no point paying.

It definitely won't break 10k, not chance. We'll be lucky to break 8k looking at the Etickets on the website. Bearly anything sold.

Up to today Cas have sold 1547 tickets.

Does anyone else feel that putting all those returning players back in for this game could undo us? Maybe 4 or 5 to play their first game in weeks (even months) plus a couple others with precious little game time recently. Lockers was so far off the pace last week and I can see the other returning players being in a similar position. Someone mentioned being the fitter team and, under normal circumstances, you could certainly make that argument but, if anything, I can see our team tiring at the back end of this game. Hope I'm wrong, of course...

Can you pay on the gate?? Got my ticket but not got little uns incase he doesn't want to come at last minute.

Yes. You can pay on the gate. In fact you'll probably have your own gate.

The club has just issued a reminder to season ticket holders to get tickets, obviously because none have bothered.

In fact if you're going to be late just give the club a ring and they'll put the kick off back for you.

Welcome to the most famous club in Rugby League - where no bugger could be d turning up to watch their own team!!!!

We are in a mood today aren't we...
