You take out all your fans who play or coach in the men's community game with a Saturday afternoon kick off. Plus on that weekend you'd be up against the Grand National as well which may decrease the crowd slightly too. |

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.
