Doubt my post will get noticed amongst the petty squabbling, but i'll say my bit.

Anyone who travels to Cas away games pretty regularly will know exactly what went off today, nothing major (that i saw of anyway) but still, annoyingly embarrassing on the whole.

Cas fans in a seating area, you know what is coming next. Cas fans stand up, stewards tell them to sit down. Cas fans sing "stand up if you're Castleford" so even more Cas fans stand up. This carries on for a while, with the odd chorus of "get a proper job" sung by a bunch mainly kids (who most probably do not have a job) and some older chaps who probably never ever have had a job ( i guess i might be exaggerating a little but you get the drift). At times the arguing with stewards will have got over the top and other times it was both stewards and fans chewing the fat over nothing in particular. Pretty much nothing major to be honest, BUT the simple fact is that yet again we have some plonkers among us who don't even want to watch the game. They'd much rather argue with stewards for 80 mins and play a game of cat and mouse with them. It gets rather annoying for us Cas fans too, especially when the same guy is among the thick of it (arguing with the stewards over naff all) for the 3rd year running at CP. I'm guessing you all know who i mean, he's even more of an P* head than his name sake who wore number seven jersey for Man United in the 60's, (God rest his soul) doubt he's had as many women though.

86 doesnt haunt me tiggerman,Cas was the best team and deserved the win,just that we had the chance with joe cool to win it and he missed,today the new joe cool won it for us.as i said it helps me remeber it less todays way we won.
For your interest i wasnt one of the smackheads in glassblower.
If you read my post again you will find that i dont go in the dump.I do drink every friday and sat in Cas but avoid GB.Shout,anglers,legion,lib are more than enough for me.

Try watching a game from either end, and what a choice...a terrace in a different time zone & a golf stand policed by pub bouncers.

Did the people sat down in the seated area have much trouble with the stewards?

To be honest yes we did families who were given tickets for allocated seats and the seats weren't even together. One bloke was asked to move by a steward however they didn't want to move is daughter who looked around 8 years old, he obviously refused to move without her.

But have to agree with Marshman though the numpty arguing with the stewards is at it where ever he goes, think he does it to look good infront of the kids I think he should act his age instead of his shoe size. Wish I was his boss I'd put him on shift for every cas game to try to keep him away

I'm glad I'm not a proper fan. I didn't go today due to the fact I don't have enough money. Ah well. In two weeks time I'll return to being a proper fan because I have a season ticket.

guess I haven't been a proper fan for a couple of years now due to my health, but still hey the 38 years I went to games home and away count for nothing

What sort of damage has the plastic bottles available at craven park done?

Re: Your fans today : Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:58 pm  

As usual though the scenario is decent supporters having to answer for the actions of idiots. There are times when some of our, ahem, "lady" supporters make me cringe with embarrassment at away games.
Every club's got them. Sadly you're not allowed to shoot them.

Ah well HS, we can be happy in the fact we're not proper fans. I didn't realise there was a definition of a proper fan. I mean someone could live in Australia be a passionate fan and travel miles to see one game a season but because he doesn't go to an away game, he can't be a proper fan.

Some people do come out with some stupid and petulant drivel when trying to score points.
