So really then he was born in Pontefract and now lives in Cas, that is the subtle difference, oh and I like the way you are now passing your attempt at a geography lesson off as a joke, it might be subtle in your head just plain stupid to me matey as I asked before about you doing stand up if thats the strength of your humour then I doubt it, I do hope I don't come across as patronising as you though

He was born in pontefract maternity unit as that is the local maternity unit, however he grew up in cas, went to to school in cas and played his his first cricket in cas, so he is a cas lad, to say otherwise makes you look a little foolish and sad.

I was born in pontefract hospital, (as are most people from cas, ponte, fev and knottingly and many from normy) i am and always will be a cas lad.

Ben westwood was born in bradford, though he is from normy.

Joanna lumley was born in india, would you not say she is an english actress?

I was born in my mothers house which at that time was sat right on the border of castleford and pontefract, so the dilemma is now am I from cas or pontefract, to help you along a little the rates were paid to castleford borough council, but the post code was Wf8. It then changed when it went to wmdc and the rates are paid to wmdc, also the post code was changed and now it's wf10,I went to school in airedale and went to college in whitwood I then went to uni in derby so please tell me if I'm from cas, point, or even derby eh ........... You are really a waste of seminal fluids aren't you !!

With those credentials, have you considered putting your name down for Ponting's job?

[sizeSo, is Tim Bresnan from Castleford or not?[/size


from
The 25-year-old from Castleford, who is a big rugby league fan, was signalled out as a potential star at a young age and was thrust into first-class cricket by Yorkshire as a teenager."[/i

from Bresnan's fellow Castlefordian hopes that the Melbourne heroics – capped by taking the final wicket to guarantee that England would retain the Ashes – will earn more widespread respect, and a long run in the team."[/i


Castleford lad Bresnan does not do grand gestures and outpourings of emotion beyond the occasional pat on the behind for a team-mate when he takes a catch off his bowling."[/i

... I'm sure I heard one of the ITV commentators during the Arsenal v Leeds FA Cup tie refer to one of the LUFC players as "a true Leeds lad from Pontefract" ...

He's been known to booze in the same pub as me.


Towns > Ben Parker.

Was there a boundary line running through your house? i doubt it very much. So where is the dilemma you were born in either Cas or Pontefract, there is a couple of clues here and to say you have had a university education imo does not bode well for our education system Firstly your mum assuming she was telling the truth paid her rates to Cas borough council which might lead one to suggest you live in Cas and not ponty, and secondly as you are aware and no doubt happy with the situation you are part of Wakey council which had you lived in Ponty you would not, so unfortunately you are from Cas although I not sure what Derby has got to do with it, and fwiw by the standard of some of your posts I am not totally convinced you have had an education at all and while we are on the subject of Ponty once and for all is Ponty part of Castleford or not because whether you like it or not Tim Bresnan was born in Pontefract not Castleford so stop trying to jump on the bandwagon because he had a good couple of games for England, I doubt it but I hth, thanks for the insults by the way no doubt a product of the Castleford education system

2 seperate issues here, why the the insult? have I insulted you no i havent so please do not show your lack of good manners and your ignorance by insulting me unless of course you went to school with speedie.
Secondly, he is 24 year old or there abouts and has not lived nearly all his life in Cas not yet anyway, if he lives there till he dies then you can say that, just one simple question and just a yes or no will do was he born in Pontefract, and my last point to you if he had got knocked all over the pitch in Melbourne and Sydney and had 2 disastrous games for his country would you be on here with a Tim Bresnan thread i doubt it, and what if that were the case and somebody said what do you expect he's a Cas lad, how many would have said no he's from Ponty, just shows what some lengths some people on here will go to for recognition.
