| Quote: morrissey "Didn't realise there was an "attendance argument"
(i.e. what's there to argue about?)
We've both recently played the Bulls at home - check the figures - end of debate.
... oh, unless we move onto the hilarious recent CC game against a competitive NL1 side (Cas would get double that against an amateur side).
On the ground topic - fair play to you - at the moment there seems to be more happening than there is with us - but as already stated, you are approximately 2 years behind us - so anything we do before then is a bonus. ![]()
My point exactly, thanks for helping me prove it!.............l really don't care if you average more than 'us', why is it even any interest to you?????
As said previously, just imagine the team we could put out if and when we get a new stadium and generate more money!!!! As we seem to do reasonable well at the moment with our 'poor crowds'

Vasty, I think you have overstated the average but regarding the differential of 1000 you have to bear in mind Cas finished bottom and were thrashed most weeks wheras Wakey had prolonged periods of good form and reached the cup semis. My argument being that unlike Cas, Wakey will struggle to increase/maintain a fanbase without a new stadium (I suspect attendances are down at Belle Vue this season despite the team's excellent start). I do not subscribe to the myth that Wakey will never again draw bigger crowds than Cas but I believe they will have to play elsewhere to do so.

Absolutely spot on!!! Not sure many Wakey fans will disagree, but as l, and many wakey fans have said, we have the bigger potential.......that does not mean we will achieve it though! |

He overstated that too. 
Agree with your argument, though. Sadly, we will not grow significantly as a club if we continue to play at Belle Vue. The place has limited appeal, now, regardless of the quality of the entertainment. |

Sorry you are correct it was 7000, I plucked my figure from memory.
Your bitterness to carry on your personal vendetta against me is to be admired, however in your haste you clearly didn't look at your own average gate.
I actually credited you with 1000 more than us when in fact it was a meagre 500 - Oh dear. This further bust the Cas attendance myth - does it not.
Obviously I offer my humble apologies for being a bit random with the exact figure knowing as I do what a pedant some posters are. However I'm happy you have proved my actual point with your scrupulous research far better than I did - thanks

Think you may have fallen off it though it only appears that you and a few others ever believed you were ever on it, but don't get too excited will you

Also, if you care to read the previous posts it wasn't me that brought up attendances, it was Vastman. I merely pointed out that as usual his post was a fabrication.'"
Prove it, find a single statement I have made about Cas that is a fabrication?
That's an actual fabrication, not a statement you choose to believe is one - you saying it's wrong doesn't make it so. |

Correct, I would not claim our support is ideal, and I have never been less than impressed by the way Castleford people support their club. What I am pointing out is that the once massive differential is no longer there and it is not the issue some still choose to make it.
As for potential. I'll leave that for the future to sort out. |

Wouldn't call it a myth, here is a cracking example of Castleford's support same days, same times, different attendences ?
NEITHER WERE ON SKY
Cas Vs Bulls - 9,185
Wakie Vs Bulls - 6,516
(May i point out that this was when you had tonked us ? this figure is very low considering the bulls brought about 1,500/2,000 over i bet isn't it)
....Oh and the Bulls had just beaten the Rhinos.

Oh we won't. But I expect an announcement is just around the corner. You're still a good few months behind us in work.

An announcement has been 'just around the corner' since July 2008.
