Stadium

The match takes place at Whedon Road stadium, also known as The Jungle, which is the historic but sadly somewhat dilapidated home ground of the Cas Tigers.

For a side often given the nickname of ‘Classy Cas’ there home ground is far from that and is a depressing place to watch the sport from although the club have made changes over the past few years.

Struggles over funding for a new stadium for much of this century has left the ground falling further and further behind all others, well ironically for this match, aside from the Bulls’ home ground.

That will mean neither team can blame the poor surrounds and the way to small pitch come game day.

The stadium is made up of one ‘grandstand’ that runs the ¾’s of the length of the field along one touchline, with a roofed terrace along the other side that has had seats added to it.

At one end of the ground is an open terrace whilst the other end features a roofed terrace that houses the bulk of the most vocal home fans and that gives the stadium its atmosphere for matches such as this one.

The town of Castleford is in metropolitan district of Wakefield, a hotbed of the sport, and in the county of West Yorkshire.

Bradford is also in West Yorkshire and also borders the Wakefield district, which just highlights the derby element of this match.

Both clubs are based in the traditional northern heartlands of the sport and have enjoyed lots of success down the years, although things have been much leaner for much of this century.
