Fully if we went down we'd be on 4.5 to 5 thousand a home game, it's human nature. I'd be there though.

You're optimistic. We have average 5469 in 2005 and I think 5.1k in 2007.

Given our lowest attendance of this season was 4.9k v Catalans, I think our attendances would be about the 3.5k-4k mark.

Whether that is sustainable over the course of three years I don't know. If we went down, especially in this position, I've said I would turn my back on the game. It is not justified removing us when we've moved forwards, not backwards. When we offer things and others do not on the same scale.

Regardless, I probably would still be on the terraces come the start of the new season, though.

I think that 3.5k - 4k would be about right.

As for the last bit, I would say that is why Wakey will not get near that figure in the Championship, they do not have anywhere near as many core fans as we do.

I think they do have a similar core fanbase. I think they've just got fed up of everything and it's a case of loyalty coming at a price. Maybe we're just more gullible gits?

I often question the loyalty of Leeds Utd fans but despite a lot of them being total prats giving their club a bad reputation, boy do I bow down to their support, which is nothing short of phenomenal. Sorry if I offend anyone with the prats comment.

We may find out, one way or the other , next season.

Different circumstances. From reading their forum a lot of the regulars seem like they're giving up if they lose their licence.

That's my point.

I know. If a lot of the older guys give up then so will the kids. Either that or the kids will go watch Leeds or us. Catch 22 situation for us, Wakefield going down. We lose our main rival and one of the biggest attendance pulls of the season. But we could gain in fanbase and strengthen our own core support.

From reading the Wakey board that is what may happen. For me and my 2 kids, we would be there with Cas next season - Whatever!

I'm sure you would, but this time round there's no possibility of a quick return so it would affect the thoughts of many Cas fans as well, added to that the feeling of injustice at the decision.
I think many would fall out of love with the game more than their club, and i find that both totally understandable and very sad.

I don't post on the Cas board but on this rare occasion,

My view, and I've said this for a long time, is that if EITHER Wakefield or Castleford are removed and Crusaders remain then I am done with the game at all levels.

If the RFL find some convoluted way of justifying the above then that's all the confirmation I need that the sport (ha) is no longer that which I've been associated with for most of my life and I will find other things to do with my time.

Call it overdramatic, doubt me if you wish but I've had my fill of the RFL and it's agendas.
