Date Change for Castleford Home Fixture : Tue May 19, 2015 5:39 pm  

Like Mike Smith, this has got me really wound up as the late notification is a disrespectful and inconsiderate pisstake.

In common with a lot of supporters, I arrange holidays and other engagements around our fixture list. Me and the wife are away on holiday on the revised Friday date and will now miss the game. The value of our season tickets are eroded still further.

So it is with deep frustration that I urge my beloved team to annihilate Cas as we owe them a king size dicking for all the physical destruction they've inflicted on us in recent fixtures. Not to mention the mental anguish I will now suffer by not being there.

Wonder how many corporate facilities were booked for client entertaining. Could cost the club. I am sure Cas aren't the first club to have to back up so close together.

Last year we played Hudds on the Thursday after they had played on the Monday.

Looks like we have Wire on a Sunday and Cats on the Thursday, now the precedent has been set the club should look at switching the Wire match to the Friday, see what response they get.

But, we play Widnes on the Sunday before Wire so that would still be a 5 day turnaround!

So does that mean changing ANOTHER fixture as well so when the Salford game is played mid week we get a decent turn around. I bet that means THREE disrupted home fixtures which means I'm overpaying on my season pass if I now can't make any of them. All because the RFL are fecking useless at planning. Rovers will also get less gate money because of them from away supporters.

I blame El Nino.

You should know, Goose. I bet it's a bummer going airborne when El Nino is on the loose. I heard it makes you so disorientated, you defecate on BBQs. Do us all a service and cack like buggery anywhere between Knottingley and Glasshoughton over this coming bank holiday weekend on the way back from Headingley.

If the reason is based on player welfare as Cas would be be playing 2 games in 4 days... then surely the RFL need to look at he Easter weekend fixtures too.

You can at least let the RFL know what you think, as it appears many on the Facebook and twitter pages have already done, they shouldn't even be allowed to run a bath never mind a professional sport imo. http://www.therfl.co.uk
