Regarding the numbers in attendance, there were 4 coaches from Castleford (2 official supporters and 2 coaches run via local pubs) so that's 200 before you count those that drove down to make a weekend of it. I would say 300-350 was about the right figure.

would expect you to bring a fair few to Wakefield - who you should be merged with anyway - seeing as you're in the same borough

Like Hull & Hull KR, Huddersfield & Halifax, Leigh & Wigan etc...

Poor attempt at trolling, just like the other 3 of you that reside on here (are you the only season ticket holders too?)

You see with a club like yours things like tradition, heritage and local rivalry mean absolutely nothing. It's probably why your fans are so few in number and seem to lack passion for the game (although granted they must have a limited amount as they do turn up to some home games). That considered I can see why you might think we should merge. In reality it would never happen due to the intense rivalry between the clubs and the fans, both of whom do the things I alluded to above in the interests of progress.

Just going back to expansion though, Catalans have made themselves a credible club in Super League despite not having as long to get there. As they're technically your local derby team, maybe we should merge you with them.

Oh dear.
