What does it mean to you to beat Wakefield ?

Does it make your year ? Does it makes you dance for joy, reach for a kebab, make love to the ... ?

And what's it like losing to the old enemy ?

Do you kick the cat, reach for a stack of kebabs ?

We want to hear from you in 10 to a maximum of 50 words on just what it means to you beating and losing to your fiercest rivals.

The best responses will appear in a feature on derbies planned for the match programme for Millennium Magic which, of course, features the Castleford-Wakefield derby on Saturday February 12.

So let rip, but no swear words, please.

Look forward to reading them.

Good luck!

Wakefield is not the big derby for Cas fans that would be Leeds.
Cas have always looked at Wakefield as the smaller club.

Two points, End of

not much we should be expected to beat wakefield especially this year.

It means we won't see vastman on the forum for a while. From a rivalry point of view, it means two points and not much else



No



Losing to Leeds is expected, I can't remember our first team losing to Fev



No



To beat Leeds is always a special night. Beating Wakefield means we don't have their fans on RLFans making a big deal out of it.

Peace and quiet at work and home, 2 points in the bag and the ability to parade around town in my Cas clobber!

Wakey who? Fev for me is a bigger game.

I don't think these are the answers Chris was looking for …

Couldn't care less. Just another game, two points all that matters.

Wakey who? not even the clubs biggest rivals, in fact they might just make the top 3...

Means more to beat Wakey with in the last few years especially with the franchises and us two being under the most scrutiny. Also our biggest home attendance last year = Wakey @ Home. Our biggest home attendance the year before = Wakey at home. Who do I really want to beat this season, Wakey at Millennium Magic.

Yeah it's nice to beat the neighbours, but it's just 2 points in the end.

To be fair, it's a pretty lazy way for a journalist to try and get information. So he shouldn't expect sonnets on why Cas fans care about beating a team most of them don't see as their major rivals.

Perhaps if he went to the Cas-York game last week and asked some Cas fans he might have got a better answer.

lol. Expect a "Cas should be kicked from SL" article any time now.

Strange that he's ignored the biggest grudge derby in rugby league and not asked Quins and Dragons fans what it means to beat the other …






edit: I like [url=http://viewtopic.php?p=15767643#p15767643this Loiner's response[/url to the similar Leeds-Bradford post on southstander.com

Spot on, even gave the geezer some kudos myself.

Excellent response!

I can't agree with your spurious argument.
Had the home games against Leeds not been on Sky and had poor weather the last 2 seasons, they would have been the highest attendance of the league season for Cas. As they had been 20 of the previous 25 seasons.

Prior to the last 2 seasons, the last time Wakefield were the highest attendance at Wheldon Road was Boxing Day 1983. The day Wally Lewis was sent off, i seem to remember. .

Also have to factor in the fact that the Wakefield one in 2009 had a deal on to bring a friend for a fiver or something.

Beating Wakefield means no more to me than gaining the 2 ponits on offer. When we beat the likes of wigan, warrington, saints and leeds that will mean something as we are expected to lose to these teams.

Got to agree to a certain extent that beating Leeds means more to me than beating Wakey, but that said it's nice to beat Wakey as our most local rivals.

What's frustrated me for the last decade or so is that when we've been the better side they seemed to beat us and when they've been the better side they've seemed to beat us - in other words they seem to beat us more often than not. This season we look like much the better side on paper so expect a return to them somehow producing frustrating victories over us once again

Have to say that in recent years beating Wakey has become progressively more important to me due to the perceived 'us or them' franchise situation and being relegated by them twice. I'm surprised other's don't appear to feel the same.

That said Fev will always be the old enemy as far as I'm concerned.

Just two points.

Two league points and bit less troll bashing/modding to do on here.

tbf, we seem to have had fewer of the Wakey trolls on here recently for some reason …
