overall it was not a classic match, cas were not great, neither was warrington, but ben thaler was a disgrace to the game. he let far too much go over the 80 minutes and far too much went in warringtons favour. they did not have to try hard because he made it easy for them, made sure that cas did not get further on top after going 8 nil up. the way thaler went about it there was only going to be one winner and it was not going to be cas. what took place in the last 10 minutes proved it, trailing by 16 points, down to twelve men, we suddenly get 5 penalties on the bounce. the man was a joke.

just one of your clan came on our board claiming my estimation of 6200 was an insult and that you have more fans than that...the reason for our small away following might have something to do with us going over to barcelona in 2 weeks and the game being live ontv...just a thought

We have about 7000 hard core fans, no idea where 2000 of them were last night. Very disappointed with our turn out, more disappointed with the wire turn out.
Looks to me saturday night on tv is a no no for the fans, to easy to sit in a pub with a pint and watch the game from there.

I wonder what it'll be for the Catalans game in 20 days as that's on a Saturday as well.

If the weather is good it should hopefully be better. I think the chance of rain and it been on sky put a few people off.

Why are you more disappointed with our turn out? Surely if you have 2k fans missing you should be more worried and disappointed by them?

We can all quote reasons (plenty of away games recently, Barcelona etc.) but I think your last line pretty much hits the nail on the head. In the current financial climate it is far easier to stay at home watching it on Sky, that's what I did. Nowadays it isn't as easy to justify match tickets and high fuel costs to travel to away games when the game is live on TV.

Because i remember seasons gone by when the railway end was packed with you lot and the drummer boy making some right noise.
I thought wire had a good amount of travelling fans, maybe the finacial climate is affecting us all.
