I think the pricing probably hasn’t helped. Although I think £15 for a friendly is fair enough, advertising Halifax and Batley for £15 seems steep when Leeds is £10 albeit that’s a deal for the game.

Bills are flying up at the moment and we play batley early ish in the season so I think many will (hopefully) be waiting for the season to start proper

And thank you all for your replies. Sounds like how I expected the first friendly to go. Main thing is the lads got back out there and got some minutes into their legs.

An Adam Horner played for Castleford academy a couple of years ago. I’m guessing it’s him, although I obviously don’t know for certain. I can’t help but wonder why the club can’t just tell us who he is. It doesn’t seem an unreasonable request from supporters.

The sea of deep, cloying red mud that surrounds what is now a small pitch is a depressing sight.I understand the need to accommodate motor sport but surely between us all we can do better than this? It’s not a good look, to say the least.
I’m guessing the crowd was in three figures, a worrying development. Lots of people on social media wanting updates but hardly anyone in the stadium. Hopefully the ten quid tickets and the visit of Leeds will reverse this trend.
