Reading between the lines it looks like cas have with the help of some creative attendance figures…. Some Blue Peter type re modelling of the ground, managed to cobble together enough points to make the cut this year. And I think they will be one of the 12 teams in SL next season.
However I can’t help thinking that they have taken the p£&! In doing so..the whole point of IMG was to encourage clubs to make serious changes to the structure of how their club was run across the board.. not bodge it up in the hope that your score is better than those around you…I know we have been fortunate to have new ownership but the last directors started to implement proper change years back .. not just this season…
Moving on to next year what’s to stop other clubs using the same methods to gain extra points

It’s been a while since I’ve sat in the wooden stand as we’ve normally stood in the away end with Wakey, but it’s absolutely shocking, surely someone must walk around the stadium before judgement is made

I don't think they are bodging their attendances. They've always had good crowds.

And it's not about what they do, it's about what they do compared to everyone else.
All the B grades will be looking for those small improvements.
The only guarantee is when you get to the magical 15 points for an A grade.

I can assure you that there were never 7000 + Friday night

How many were there?

When I finished counting about 5500

7449 a strange choice if inaccurate.

I don't think anyone who was a B will be an A this time. But I think we'll be closer than the rest.

I agree, although I think it will be very close and I wouldn`t be shocked to see us come out over the 15.

I believe that there will be a Grade A club dropping to a grade B though.

Hull FC potentially, however the awful on field performances maybe offset by the digital activity of their fans venting on social media.

In fact, thinking about it, is all this tosh coming out of Cas at the moment an indication that they are desperate and trying to create a narrative of positivity to counteract the bleakness of their situation of having a dilapidated ground that needs tens of millions spending on it just to make it safe. Any money spent on the viewing areas would seem pointless though as they need to remedy the problem of playing on a junior size pitch.
