The best behaved I have ever seen at a Wembley final . I didn't see one bit of trouble . All the fans I spoke to just seemed happy to have had the experience of watching their team play in the final .
A bit of banter at the services on the way down , and in the bars before the match . Well-behaved during the match , and around the ground afterwards . Very chatty and upbeat at the services on the way home despite losing .

Well done you lot .

They helped make it a very enjoyable day . There was none of the usual intimidation from groups of young idiots shouting and swearing at opposition fans . I didn't even see many people that were obviously worse for wear due to drinking all day .
Hats off to the big bloke in the orange onesy/morph suit thing . He was funny .

It was the Leeds fans as well as the Cas fans. None of the nonsense you sometimes see at Wembley. Maybe it's to be expected in an all-Yorkshire final that the supporters can take their ale better.

"Arguably the best Rugby League side certainly in the last 40 years!" Phil Clarke.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_13707.jpg



Agreed. Met loads of Cas fans and they were superb before and after the game. Best atmos at a CC final for me since '78!

Well I'm sorry to report that was not the case, I was in the lower tier block 132 and at halftime a man was knocked out after being attacked in the men's toilets by 2 Castleford supporters, I cannot comment on what happened but 4 well aged Cas supporters seen it happen in the toilets and were very upset and disgusted at what they had just witnessed in the toilets, that 2 Cas supporters had just physically attacked some guy with no colours on to the degree that when he came out of the toilets he collapsed onto the floor! It seemed to take an age for security to take care of the man until medical help arrived, the man later got to his feet but had cuts to his face/around his nose but seemed to be ok. The older Cas gentlemen who seen this happen in the toilets did say that they would recognise the 2 supporters if they seen them again!

Also, not sure anyone seen this but there was some kind of trouble in the lower tier of the prawn sandwich seats to the right of the tunnel (you know the people that don't return to their seats until 10 minutes after the 2nd half has kicked off) not sure what was going on as from block 132 it was hard to see other than lots of stewards breaking up some people just before the game ended!

All in all though it seemed to be a very friendly atmosphere other than these two incidents I saw.

Disco - Expansion of the game is a good thing, undoubtedly, but in the main what people simply want to assert is that you don't kill the roots to spread the tree. The Curtism - The battles are fought on the field and the friends are made in the bar. There's no hatred among real men. EFC - In Martinez We Trust 9th Place RLFANS Poker Tournament 2010:24084.jpg

I enjoyed the atmosphere pre and post match also enjoyed the mutual respect throughout the day.

The Leeds fans were magnificent too Orfie. Sorry to hear about that incident, but you know full well that out of a crowd of 77,000 that there is bound to be an odd incident or two. There always is no matter who is playing. I knew hundreds of fellow Cas fans sat around the ground and I only heard of a couple of bad reports. Friends of mine (a family) were sat in section 141 row 14 and a female had to text the stewards over two middle aged Leeds fans shouting abuse and wanting to fight everyone. Another family at the opposite (South stand side) reported that two Leeds fans started making sarcastic, nasty and inflammatory comments towards the Cas fans there once they got in front. A couple of Rhinos fans told me a Cas fan where they were sat, was also making similar comments. However I spoke to countless fans on the day and apart from those incidents I never heard anything but good reports about each others fans.

Certainly where I was sat there were many fans of both teams and every one was excellent, no gloating, no bitterness and resentment, all excellent. So as I said out of a huge crowd just 2 or 3 minor incidents was not bad, although it would have ben a lot nicer if there was none at all.

We went into the green man pub before the game and it was just chock full of tigers fans, literally packed. The ones we spoke to were all absolutely sound, plenty of banter ad it was all good natured and fun to be a part of. There was one absolute bellend who seemed determined to get a rise out of me but hey! 1 knob in a whole day who cares.

Even on the way back in the services you guys still were full of banter and congratulations.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg

And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



I've got to say that if we'd lost there would have been a mass exodus of fans heading for the exits before the end. Cas fans stayed to cheer their lads after the final whistle. Credit to RL.

I was there in 1987 and 88. Massive crowds, no trouble and terrific atmosphere. 1988 had fans sitting on the track.
