Nothing Beats Being There – Game Day Guide

After our first victory vs Wakefield Trinity last Friday, we welcome another local side Castleford Tigers to the John Smith's Stadium as we look to make it back to back wins, and secure our first home victory of the 2023 Betfred Super League Season.

What's on at the game and when? 

The Legends Bar (Located by the Swimming Pool entrance) will be open for HGSA Members only providing a fun and lively environment for like-minded supporters to meet. The Brian Blacker roadshow will return featuring a different player every week, with membership costing only £5 a year and 50% off selected drinks until 7:00pm, you can make yourself a member on the evening. Anyone wishing to join the HGSA can do so HERE, with the Bar opening at 6:00pm.

The flame cannons will also be pitch-side as last season and given the time of kick off a light show from the state of the art stadium floodlighting will greet our team.

Please note, The John Smith's Stadium is a cashless stadium, with Contactless and Chip & Pin accepted within the stadium.
