Just been to shop. Spent £68 on stuff and heard the lads/lass say they had sold over 1000. Along with season tickets and Wakey fans they are saying 100% it will sell out.

Should be a great night and looking forward to it, but biggest game ever? Really?

In terms of importance it gets nowhere near the 2 finals we had to come back up in 2005 and 2007. The 2005 one in particular as I don't know how we'd have gone on if we'd had a second season in the Championship back then and that's just the recent past.

Daughter popped over got tickets and me a couple of new tops.
Got two seats and my 88 year old father in law coming along must be one of our older fans.
How good it will be for him to see them crowned Champions after eight decades of watching Cas.
Full house for certain.
Lap of honour parading the trophy.
Let's raise the roof.
Thank you Cas.
What a season ,what a team,coach.
The team spirit going forward could see us be the team of the latter half of the decade.

Depends how you define biggest. Promotion was probably more important but I'm with OCL this night is bigger

Just home from Manchester after staying up there, what a night, somewhat sore head!!

Ticket bought for Thursday and the 500 mile round trip will be worth it as always but this time for something I thought I'd never see.

Goosebumps sums it up nicely

I think to put it into perspective, it's a bigger night but not a bigger game, if you know what I mean. It's a bigger night in the respect of the potential celebrations, pomp and outright feelgood factor of achieving something the club has never done before, and I will go all the way with that. It's not a bigger game, in the respect that there's nothing riding on it, apart from the fact that if we lost, we lose face on the night and a damp squib would be put on all our potential celebrations. However we would still win the LLS, unless you believe in horror stories and make believe, so we would not actually lose anything in a rugby sense.

However had we lost either of the Championship Grand Finals it would have been an absolute disaster and in all reality we would not have now been in the position to do what we have and win the LLS. So in a nutshell it's the biggest night as regards the celebrations, pomp and ceremony, but far from our biggest game ever, with what's riding on it.

I think in one way it is one of the least important games in our history. We have the shield, it makes no difference. However, it would be nice to win it next week, and the game becomes memorable because it will be the day all was confirmed against our neighbours who sent us down a while ago.

I agree That's really what I was trying to say

Can't ignore £100k a guaranteed game v Aussie opposition and our first top flight trophy for 23 years despite all the dismissals our achievements have been given by those who couldn't match them though

Lol. Whilst you're busy deciding how unimportant a game it is (why bother?!!) I will look forward to the sweetest night ever known to a Cas Fan.

I'm gutted I'm not here and will be watching from a bar in Majorca. But if someone told me we would win the LLS at Wakefield on the 17 August at the start of the season I wouldn't have believed them. If you listen carefully you may hear me shouting but the noise should be too immense for that pack the old girl to the rafters and get her rocking to the foundations

How good does it feel to say castleford tiger 2017 league champions (elect)

I intend to do that too. Just having a boring journey and it was a choice on the thread between this harmless discussion or reading the two Springer bashing threads. That will be really firing him up :roll:

It should be a bumper crowd the Wakefield fans that I have talked to today are confident they can do a job on us and spoil our party, my thoughts are if they get with in 10 points of us I will be surprised

not sure about that mate. they don't travel in numbers and they won't want to be there to see cas win the lls and rub their noses in it.
on the other hand they would enjoy spoiling our party if it goes t!ts up.
if we do win it would be nice if the true wakey fans would stay back after the game and acknowledge our success.
it would also be nice if they cling on to 4th spot for an all Yorkshire top 4.

I'd love to win it especially with the players having 2 weeks to the next game. They could really celebrate. In front of wakey fans aswell.
