Quote: ParanoidAndroid "Unforunately due to some finanical difficulties, I have only been to a few home games this season, does this make me less of a fan?
I have supported Cas since a nipper and the weekly result can either give me a euphoric rush or a despondent downer. This is a club I love with all my heart and just because I don't have the money to follow them around (I have done in the past) it does not mean I care any less about them than the bloke who goes to every home and away game and buys the merchandise.
As for the WRE mob, some good lads but quite a few idiots who are an embarrassment to the club (Gareth Thomas anyone?), getting beered up and singing does not make you any more passionate to the cause than I.'"
Absolutely agree with everything there PA. As a season ticket holder I believe I've managed to get to only 4/5 home games this season due to other commitments, does this make me more or less of a fan/supporter.
Years ago I used to stand in the WRE, it had a great atmosphere, great banter and the likes, not so long ago I decided to go back to the WRE since I didn't have the youngsters with me. My god I felt intimidated at times, and it's not as if I can't handle myself. Not only that but after we'd scored a try I ended up covered in ale. It certainly isn't the same as it used to be.
What doesn't help is the lack of control the stewards seem to have, I'm not condoning them as they have a tough enough job on as it is but somebody need to get a grip of the actions of the minority that are blighting the good name of the club.
