And that reply says it all about you - it's no surprise.
My dad was from Manchester and he got me into them - is that ok or are we going down that route that nobody from Manchester supports united serously that's poor even from someone as tedious as you and don't hide behind your mod status on this one.
If I were a glory seeker aged 10 I'd have actually have gon for Leeds look at the date Man U were about to be relegated!
I stopped actively supporting United in the early 90's because of the cost and growing irrelevance of the premier league and my new love Trinity.
Funny thing is I missed the fergie years but I don't care I had a lot of great memories from a fairly poor era in the clubs history
Dear god I hope I've done enough to justify myself, no really......

| Lol. You made the assumption about what I meant and ran with it didn't you.
I've been to Old Trafford many times to watch United. They are a great team to support I'm sure.
My dad is from Wakefield and brought me up to support Wakefield Trinity. The principle is the same. I have no problem with that.
What I was referring to is that you think it's acceptable to 'hate' a team. That's more a football thing than a rugby thing.

They knew about the rivalry when they met a few Wakefield whites in Rochdale a few years ago.'"
No you don't know what your talking about. LUFC fans like to think they matter and that MU sing about them, when in fact I'm pretty sure MU don't give a crap about Leeds, or at least they don't anymore. Like Vastman said, MU are more bothered about Liverpool, City, Arsenal and even Chelsea because of long standing rivalry either through proximity or challenging for trophies.

Leeds united fans have a similar delusion with Man United but it's a one way rivalry as mufc fans have no interest in Leeds at all and never did have.
Up until the 1970's Wakefield were Leeds big local rivals Cas didn't register at all. Then when peter fox took over Bradford in the early eighties Bradford took over - again Cas never registered.
Then in SL it was deffo Bradford but some attempted to create one with Cas probably Eddie Hemings.
Truth is Fev are your historical enemy we are your current one like it or not. Unlike us Leeds want trophies and beating Cas is just another step on the ladder, that isn't a rivalry no matter how much you big yorseves up.
Leeds are generally a top four team and there rivals are the other top four teams at the time - so if you live up to the expecatations of some on here you'll have a bit of fun but don't kid yourselves. Leeds fans look down on Wakefield as a backwards town god only knows what they think about Cas.
Sorry to burst your bubble but you just make up the numbers like we do.'"

No bubble burst mate. I'm well aware we don't register on Leeds' radar! most of Cas has a chip in its shoulder where Leeds are concerned; in all aspects not just rugby & I suspect that's why I enjoy beating them more than any other team.

You're not on your own there Vasty, I was another stood in the Scoreboard end in the 70s. Back on topic, there is all ways going to be rivalry and so called hate towards other teams, the hate thing is a figure of speech , a gut reaction, whatever you want to call it but I'm sure, hopefully, that's all it is.

| But isn't it the "hate" (strong word) that gives you the atmosphere, a Cas v Wakey game has an edge/atmosphere because of the hate?
With the best will in the world supporters in general have no feeling whatsoever for a Catalans or Salford, we can take them or leave them, is that why we have no atmosphere for such games? The adrenaline as such isn't there.

I spent 3 years at uni in Manchester. They absolutely detest Leeds. The only Manure fans who don't understand the rivalry and hatred with Leeds are from my own experience the ones who don't actually come from Manchester. Which would explain why a chunk of their fanbase "don't get it". Like Vastman for example.

In other words, the glory hunters.
