Was very interesting to dave woods at jungle. He found the protest quite entertaining. Nice to see jon wells here too. Shame matterson was escorted straight out of the ground. Did he not want to join the rest of the team? Sad times.

He was probably more fearing that the protesters were after him.

And what a protest it was! Hoardes of people shouting, I could barely see the sky for the banners. As I departed I saw a helicopter circling overhead and a BBC news van racing down the lane. Those leading the hoardes will forever be mortalised as the Castleford Three.

Seriously, there were 2 old guys having a go at Wright and Matterson (and Poskitt and Ellis(?) whoever he is), 15 people clapping, lots of people watching, no banners and I heard one song. I doubt it will have affected Wright or Matterson. I think demonstrations need to be properly organised for them to have an effect as everyone seemed to be waiting for someone to say something. Very little effect. I think you'd be better off voting with your feet.

The helicopter was for Richard Wright i think. He had to be airlifted out of the ground after the abuse he got!!
Seriously though it was a start..and i hope the fans who are unhappy with the way things are join in the protest at the Barrow game.

ok then we will keep quiet and no demonstrations. thats exactly what wright and co would like us to keep doing, but i hope not, cos most of us have had enough. before matterson got the job, it was dave woods who put his hand up to do the job cos nobody else wanted it cos they did not want to be the one who failed to get us promoted, woods did it and got crapped on by wright and co, before that when steadman was in charge and the players he signed, wright said at the time its the best squad we have had, and what happened then, relegated. woods in, promoted and sacked. matterson in, relegated and kept on. it was mainly down to danny brough that we got up again not matterson. last season we win three games at home, simply not good enough, this season won at home once and was lucky to win that, when is the next one going to be. our supporters deserve better than what they are getting, but while ever we we are just accepting wright and co's rubbish and just keep turning up and keeping quiet, i would like to think not. lets just keep paying for marketing people and the like, never mind the playing staff they dont matter. lets have a mass meeting at the civic centre and tell wright and co its time to go, enough is enough.

To be fair mate I'd rather still go to show my support for the team through the bad times but 2day was a way of showing the officials our feelings. 90% of the team put in the effort, it's just a shame most of them aren't up to super league standard.

But on the matterson issue, he'd already walked through the crowd (after shoulder barging an old man who stood in his way trying to question him) and only had the restaurant stairs to contend with but decided to leave through the scargill gates.

A new stadium certainly will alter the clubs financial situation.....it will probably financially cripple us for the next 20 years or so! All for the love of SKY!

You misunderstand me. You can hire Elland Road and invite everyone along but unless you've put some actual thought into it you won't get maximum effect. I'm neither for or against Matterson/Wright. I suppose you could say i'm a passive but interested observer. I just don't think organising a protest 20 hours before it's due to take place and then having 2 old guys having a whinge is the best way to get yourselves heard.

A few years ago at Saints, there were calls for protests etc.

However what happened was that a few "leaders" from the Independant Supporters club wrote to the club and said "On behalf of the fans can we come and have a chat with you?". The club agreed and as far as I am aware there is still a dialogue between the club and the Independent supporters.

The think to do is get yourselves organised and try to have a civil chat with them.

GOOD LUCK. I would rather have Cas than Wakey and Feath anyday

Just to clarify I thought I refered to our finishing bottom after we were promoted with "my gap" year comment but reading it back it is rather vague so I am sorry for that. As far as us being one of a few full timers in the league this is true and was a big benefit but I was talking about how a team that had been soundly beaten by widnes early in the season peaked brilliantly at the back end of the year and we were totally out of sight on the pitch and I just think TM deserves a little credit for that Its just my opinion but no team has the right to win any game or league and as far as us knowing the rules and exemptions when we went down I was not saying that we were cheated or that it was not fair just that under the circumstances (and believe me I could write a book on the circumstances) we were a tad unlucky to be going down and I was only trying to make reference the difficulties TM had to contend with without a lot of preparation.
Just saying.

Super League wouldn't be the same without Cas, don't think you would miss out on a franchise.

Wakey, however...............

The helicopter had a long banner attached to it saying "Nobody do like that" with a small picture of John Kear's cleaner at the end of it.

Ok... am I the only one who hasn't a clue what this guys talking about?

All come out in the wash????

Do we have (some of) the most negative and pessimistic fans in RL?
