Maybe it's because Wakey fans aren't as obsessed as some Cas and Leigh fans' and have no interest in getting involved in a pathetic dick measuring contest deliberately provoked by yourself at every opportunity, as for vasty I doubt very much he would need any help to back him up from the likes of you who on numerous occasions has made you look quite slly, maybe that's where all the bitterness comes from

Where does he need our back up? He's right though, you are obsessed.

Hes not right though. Vasty talks Rubbish. We took loads last year. Vasty just despises Cas and anything to do with Cas. He hates how we have improved and Wakey have done nothing.

We have officially sold the most tickets of any club through club sales. Confirmed on Castlefordtigers.com

I'm not saying it's not true I'm sure it is but I'd be surprised if you took more than Hull

Thats why I said through club sales. I can see Hull taking more also. Sales through rfl website and stuff dont count I dont think.

He is right though, Tigerade talks rubbish, and is obsessed with sneering at Trinity.

That's my point, no idea why you brought the other stuff into my response.

"Officially"??? That article on Cas' site doesn't even say how many they've sold and I'd seriously question if they know how many the likes of Leeds, Wigan, Hull etc. have sold.

Been counting using their fingers I reckon

Yes officially. They posted 2 days prior that we had sold over 3500 and that we were the highest selling club playing sunday and 2nd of the weekend only behind FC.

The club then updated that saying we had now sold the most.

I'm pretty sure they wouldnt make two unsubstantiated claims unless they didnt know for certain.

Edit. In fact they've just just tweeted it again. Seems they are quite proud of the achievement and rightly so.

And you don't think clubs are in contact with the rfl / giving & receiving ticket updates? Or that they don't know how many each were allocated?

I said originally that obviously wasn't including tickets through the rfl. Simply tickets bought through the clubs.

No way have Castleford sold the most tickets for the magic weekend....Catalan Dragons have (you silly Yorkshiremen) Jean from Chorley told me, and also DGM confirmed this to be true.

On a side point, after years of sneering from 'big' clubs on here about how the 3 clubs in the area should merge as we would never offer anything to the game with our own identity would it be a stretch to say the 'big' clubs (with recent succcess) should be doing a bit better with ticket sales ? If a town with a 40,000 population is in the top 2 for direct ticket sales, clubs such as Wigan, Saints, Wire and Leeds have sold less than 3500 presumably ? Should clubs such as Leeds with a population of over half a million people be looking to aim a little bit higher ?

From a slightly different angle, in the round ball game, FC Halifax Town and Chorley mustered a crowd of almost 8000 for the National League North play-off final last weekend. That's in the 6th tier of footie in England.

It just demonstrates that sporting events can attract spectators if the vibe is right, even when the quality on show is, let's say, lacking.

How to change things in RL for MW/SB I'm not sure (albeit Fax will almost certainly have more in Blackpool than they have at most home games??), but by asking fans to travel for the weekend (and pay for accommodation) is a bridge too far from a financial perspective probably for the majority.

Couple of points: not all fans of the "big" clubs were/are in favour of a cas/wakey/fev merger. And yes, the big clubs could and should aim higher than 3.5k.
