7 eye-witnesses have publicly come forwards + others in private which has lead to Cas deeming the comments by Burgess to be slanderous. So a retraction will have to be made by either him and/or the club.

He's been told that it wasn't Cas fans yet he still hasn't deleted the original Tweet or issued an apology, same goes to people on here, despite the witnesses people are still blindly and with nothing other than petty bias, still blaming Cas.

...and again as you seem to have missed my first reply:

So let me get this right, seven independent witnesses have confirmed that the alleged assailant belongs to a nearby travelling community.

This is also not the first time that members of this community have participated in criminal damage/attempted ABH by attacking passing passenger vehicle and has been going on for some time.

Castleford Police have done nothing to protect its own residents against these continued attacks?

If it's written it's libel.

So the Old Bill clock off at 4:00pm in Castleford - if there was anything of value in the town it would be burglar's paradise - good job there isn't.

Could that not be used the other way round as well though? How can Burgess prove that it WAS a Cas fan?

In most likelihood I'd wager it's an empty threat by the club to get a retraction from Burgess, because to be perfectly honest it isn't on for him to make the accusation he did and in the way he did.

As someone else said, it's probably an over reaction by him because he doesn't like Cas fans for cheering Walkers hit last season.

By the way do you pronounce your username as Gasleet? Owd cock?

But it is not Burgess that would be instigating legal action. The onus would be on the prosecuting council to prove this lad wasn’t a Cas fan.

I can see that getting all the way to the Old Bailey

7 Cas fans?

Jog on. Leeds destroy Cas and the Leeds bus gets bricked by random youths, strange how they only usually brick Arriva buses.
