Quote: Scabbycat "Have posts been removed regarding Ian Millward position at Castleford, I can't believe no one has posted on here regarding his situation.
Surely his position must be seriously under threat. We have had three decent performances this season, last season we had two, Huddersfield at home which we won, and St helens at home in which we were narrowly beaten.
The supporters voted with their feet yesterday, paltry 4500 which must be one of the lowest attendences ever at Whelon Road for a Super league game, and below the average when we were in the Championship.
The Board must realise that without people coming through the turnstiles the club is in trouble. Most of yesterdays attendence would have been season ticket and membership holders, so very little cash generated on day. The only way that we will increase attendences in this time of economic crisis is by winning and being honest. The last two games have shown to be not much difference from the Castleford of last year when Millward's excuse was that it wasnt his team, well now he can rule that one out.
He is running out of time, and the Board must act quickly. I wouldnt like to see anyone lose their job, but many coaches have been dismissed for far better performances than Castleford have show over the last 34 games.
Why he was given a 3 year contract is anyones guess, surely a rolling contract would be the norm, unless they have proven themselves.
I personally would like to see John Kear as coach, a local ex-player with a very good track record with less popular teams, Sheffield, Paris, Hull, Wakefield. He would show and instil passion for the club. We need to act fast and act now or it will be too late.'"

I posted on here before the first home game of the season. The wheldone road end became a no go area for non members and non season ticket holders. My family had been attending cas since 1981 and have always stood in the WRE or the NS not any more. We have been banned from where we like to watch our games from. The club has banned 6 adults spending on average £50 per game each from the ground. ( Entrance price - Beer - Burger ). With the attendance of 4500 I just wonder if others have said enough is enough. Four of us work shifts so buying a season ticket is not an option but at least when we did go to our home town club we could watch the match from our preffered WRE.
