Why the new account then mcm123 ?

Of course bullying is not called for, but you can't hide behind that and then abuse others..... then feel like a victim.

Just saying.

Who's he abused - apart from the ref, and that's a requirement for all fans!

Just asking.

Not getting into any kind of squabbling but if you look at his old posts from a previous profile the lads not squeaky clean. Ill leave it at that.

Any person who ever he is, what ever club he supports, as the right to post on this forum without being ridiculed by other fans because he make spelling mistakes or gets mixed up with the grammar, you had a fan from your club doing it to the same lad, but it's only a bit of fun int it, NOT to the person who is being ridiculed, but if you think these keyboard bullies aren't morons, & making good use of their brain then fare enough.

Before i got injured i could spell, i knew my grammar, but now i have to sit in a chair & taking an age to try to type on forums, but people like these don't think anyone should be allowed to post if thats the case make the forum a private member one.

So if you think me calling these people morons, & brain dead for bullying a young lad, do what your supposed to do, BAN ME for telling the truth, it matters very little to me,.. the people who think it's OK, carry on but i would not like to be associated or converse with BULLY'S! be it by abusing peoples disability's, or any other kind.

Frank i have in the past removed posters who have abused you and others from this very board or have you forgotten that, you are correct it is out of order no matter what clubs they belong to.

Calling them brain dead and morons does not help you're cause and just for the record the poster you defend is no angel, or is that different him being a Cas fan.

The irony is that even if he'd expressed himself with literary genius the average Leeds fan still wouldn't understand what he was saying....I mean how could he be proud to follow a team that wins nothing.

No mate it's not & i apologies El Rey for my rant, i know you all do a good job, i don't know about the other lads posts, if he is out of order he also needs a rollicking as anyone ells would, what made me mad was the Cas lad mocking him, making intentional spelling mistakes.

I have calmed down now & my wording could have been better, some times i go over the top, but once it's posted it's done, & i now i shouldn't stoop to name calling, but at the time i was annoyed that other fans would take the Micky out of some ones spelling.

Anyway back to the topic are you proud to be a Cas fan.

No. Still in an awful position on and off the field. Alot needs improving before I can walk down the street letting everyone know im a Tiger.

They have gained a fair few bandwaggon jumpers have the Rhinos.

I wouldn't be surprised if they thought "Marching on Together" and that god awful band that play in the South Stand were orginally ideas from Headingley

I am a proud Castleford rugby league supporter and have been for far too long to recall <getting on a bit> However this guy isn't a fan of ours viewtopic.php?f=21&t=548295&tsmp=1366569353&start=50 Some people have very short memories when the money men bail their previous pub sides out

Win loose or draw, i will always be a proud Cas Tigers supporter, we have little money, & not going so good on the field, but we have a rich history as a club, & as a town we have produced some of the best players you will see.

If the criteria for SL, was the production of players we would be well up the list, but alas it's not & were struggling , but no one would have to ask me if i was a Cas fan, as our emblem is proudly embossed on my jackets & shirts for all to see, through thick & thin i have never been ashamed of people knowing i follow Castleford Tigers, Rugby League Club, & like most fans who follow their club, that wont change.

To be honest, I couldn't give a toss what most opposition fans think.

Some of them are so misinformed that they believe everything that comes out in the media and very rarely are both sides of the coin shown fairly.

For instance, our stadia issues have been presented as if we're sat on our thumbs when the reality is that we a) don't want to be and b) it's outside of our control. Reality is that no matter what we want to do, we can't do because it's in the hands of others and we simply cannot rock the boat. Nor have the full facts of the preceding 6/7 years been given fairly either.

By the same token, they ridicule and demean our ground at every given opportunity. Yes, it's old; yes, it's past its sell by date and yes, it isn't conducive for a SL outfit looking to increase its commercial income and grow as a club. That's why we've taken steps to address the situation by looking to move to a new stadium. But we cannot do anything about the economic climate, just as other club's can't. We didn't ask for it to happen and it's sad but it's tough. We have to get by and we don't have the cash to plough into Wheldon Rd particularly when situation with GH could change tomorrow, or in five years. We've been in a catch-22 for a very long time. Now we're looking at temporary arrangements that may at least cover us for a stay at WR until the situation is resolved or for a more permanent development at WR.

Financially, we lose a lot less than other clubs per annum and we're at less than a Super League average. I believe the SL average is around £600k and we lose around £250-£300k per year in a bad season. Our debts are mostly owed to our owner and shareholders, not externally and our payments to HMRC (AFAIK) have always been up to date and we don't owe anything in that respect. We've never been into administration like 2 other clubs in Super League and one on the cusp of going into admin like another, before it found salvation. In the same vein, we've always tried to balance the books and compete in a fair manner without spending what we don't have.

In terms of the other ideologies of licensing, we actually strive to improve and are surpassing many of the other so-called larger clubs. We have one of the best youth systems outside of Saints, Leeds and Wigan with 12 homegrown players in our 17 the other week (no mention) with many going off to other clubs to ply their trade. We have also reduced our overseas quota whereas others have continuously relied on more overseas players and exemptions.

On-field performance has let us down unquestionably and that has been the underlying disappointing factor. But despite the poor economic backdrop and similarly a poor season last year we actually GREW our ST holders/memberships, when other clubs (I believe) saw falls. Our attendances are poor recently but that's borne out of frustration, disappointment and general lethargy on the field. But we still contribute by taking fans to other games and we are extremely stubborn in that we stand by our club. A modicum of success would be instrumental to Castleford; it would unite the town. Despite our failings, we still have crowds that beat Salford, London and rival the likes of Huddersfield (4.5k for a top of the table SL team?) and Widnes. And I have no doubt that with top eight rugby or winning more games would see us rise to be a strong contender for getting bigger crowds.

What this club needs is not this continual poking from rival fans and the media (let's face it, we've been struggling with the tide with this continually season upon season) but some TLC and a little faith. Steve Gill is an immensely proud man and CEO; he is proud of Castleford, the club and everything means a lot. The new Commercial Team, from what I hear, are making great strides in repairing relationships with former sponsors across the community and we have a new director in Steve Vause, who is a long term sponsor to the club and is also a man of strong business background.

That's what Castleford needs - a team of people with strong business experience and a bit of passion. SG has already succeeded in what SF said he couldn't do in getting new people on the BoD. We may get zero help from those outside of Castleford but the best we can do is not give them any more excuses to poke us. And that's by providing a siege mentality.

Some believe this ship may be going down with a hole in its rudder; but I tell you now, whilst I have breath in my body I'll be the guy in the boat with a bucket trying to throw out the water whilst my fellow Cas fans look to make some emergency repairs to where it has been breached.

Our club, our Cas. Be loyal, be loud, be Cas, be proud. Two mottos we've had and two that we should utter at every given chance. Glory fan I am not.
