Sounds relatively ok then. Will I get away with wearing my leeds too or will I just be inviting the danger of hassle? I can handle verbal joshing and rudeness - I am a Newcastle fan in football so used to that wherever I go for away games!
You'll be fine bud. Most cas supporters are sound. Watch out for the women though they're the worst;)
The majority of Cas fans are knowledgeable and appreciate the game as it should be - probably like most clubs to be fair. Every club has a minority of idiots. Quite fancy us for this one to be honest. Signs of life the last few weeks. Injuries will probably dictate the result here, both missing key players.
Always found Car fans to be fine, yes they like bait of banter but that's art of the fun. The only trouble I've ever had with other clubs fans is Hull FC and that was when we were at home, was quite a while ago now though and never had any issues since, although I've seen our own fans act like nob heads quite a few times.
One of the many good things about RL is the way fans can interact without aggro (on the whole). Unfortunately some of my extended family are Cas fans so I could do with us bringing home the bacon this week.

Its never even entered my mind about not wearing a Leeds shirt to an away game. Not a problem. Get it on. Paint ya face, take a flag, haha.
Ah I know generally it is fine. The only hassle I have ever had is at MW and the GF and that was random drunk fans of other teams (often Hull) swinging at people.
I just wanted to check - I live in the area too so didn't want to antagonise anyone who might know where I live. 'S*itting on your own doorstep' and that!
I have a mate who is a Cas fan so if I see him there he talks the local language
That's the great thing about RL. I lived in Bradford during the heights of Bullmania, but never experienced anything too hostile wearing a Leeds shirt.
Whatever we think about Leeds vs Cas, I don't think it has ever been so acrimonious as the days of Hetherington vs Caisley, even the more recent rivalry with Wigan didn't reach those heights (Tomkins v-signs etc). Maybe this is one of the contributing factors to GH losing his edge?
If I could change one thing about SL, it would be to get a competitive Bulls team back in. Halcyon days, especially when we finally worked out how to beat them!

I can handle the cas fans bait I think the way to do it is just smile when they give it and dont respond with FB retorts. I'm not the same at Hull though
