Does a Sunday not make it slightly more difficult for anyone involved in the junior game as well?

Friday night could have been another option. For me, Sunday afternoon at Cas is just pointless.

Do they not usually postpone the amateur calendar on cup weekends, long time since I coached/played but they did use to have free weeks for cup game weekends

Absolutely no idea.

ATEOTD the pro game shouldn't be pivoting around the amateur game. Stick it on a Saturday PM, put a deal on for a ticket and a coach and take a bucket load of rowdy fans over to the jungle.

No there’s a full set of fixtures. We get blank weekends for the cup final, magic weekend and bank holidays normally but that’s it.

Good point about the National, would've knocked a few off the crowd. Sundays fine by me.

There's also football. As much as some wish to deny it, quite a few folk that watch RL also watch football. Leeds Utd are at home on Sat 13th, and I would imagine a lot of the footy-loving folk in Castleford will probably follow Leeds.

Sunday afternoon is, IMHO, the ideal time. Perhaps the tickets are still a bit pricey though for what is, in effect, a "bonus" game.
