The match takes place at the Jungle, perps better known to older fans as Wheldon Road, but no matter what you know the ground as, it is one of the stadiums in the sport most in need of a rebuild.
The crumbling stands of the ground don’t make for a great look for the club and limit their ability to create the funds needed to be competitive, but it does have the advantage of been close to the town centre of Cas.
The stadium is made up of four separate stands including a main stand that runs most of the way down one side of the field but with safety concerns over it, it is often mostly empty.
At one end of the field, there is a small open to the elements terrace, that also wraps around the corners and that tends to house the bulk of away fans.
Along the other side of the field is a small bank of seating that has some cover from the elements, with the final end of the ground also offer some cover to the element and that houses a small terrace that tends to be where e the bulk of home fans congregate and that is where the atmosphere of the ground is created.
With some stands not running the full length of the pitch, which is in itself far too small for modern day Rugby League, the stadium is one of the smallest and most compact in the sport, which does give a great advantage to the Tigers and that creates a hostile atmosphere for away sides.
It is capable of hosting around 11,00 fans when full and whilst the full house signs may not go up for this game, it should be asset for a decent crowd and a decent atmosphere, despite the understand lack of away fans in attendance.
