Stewards need re-naming to Earn-a-few-quid-then-bogoffs.

i dont know what is happening to this club of ours lately other than to say it is going down the tubes fast trouble on the terraces reported trouble in the sheds (only rumours) and things not looking too bright on the pitch, i cant remember the last time i heard anything positive come from down there, fair enough i am pi$$ed that we got stuffed last night but look back over the last month and thing are going from bad to worse. cas player (ex now) with an arrest warrent out for him, an invisable scrum half for the last god nows how long, trouble on the terraces, good young players (from cas) not been given a chance and apparently being pushed out of the club, players who have performed well this season asked to take a paycut for next season, rumours that the 21s could be disbanded for next season, no news of any new signings for next season just the club telling us that we wont be spending our full cap, rumours that the developers have pulled out of the sale of the ground again just rumours but these thing usually have some truth in them and then to top off all that a performance like that last night and yet more reports of trouble on the terraces. I know i am just having a moan and most of the points i have made are just based on rumours but it would be nice for the club to give us some positive news.

You missed the trouble in Leeds station.

The only thing i was proud of last night is that the two incidents of trouble i saw were both stopped by cas fans before anybody got hurt. But some of our fans were well out of order, i just cant understand people fighting at a rugby game.

The young girl your reffering to is my girlfriend, and she was deeply upset by what happened. Even more by the fact he was wearing the same colours!!!! And when i asked him to apoligise he got right in my face and replied "im not f***ing apoligising to anyone" before storming off muttering "im off to stand with real Cas fans!!!!" he showed no remorse for the trouble he had caused, the upset he had caused, and what hurt me personally the most, the dissapointment she later expressed when she has been a loyal supporter all her life, to be treated this way by a fellow "fan". I would appreciate it if you will tell me if you hear anything from the club mitch mate, as my girlfriend has also emailed the club , even though i feel, we will hear nothing from it.

I couldn't get time off work to go last night, but if I had i'd have been stood in the West with a Cas supporting friend and his family. I would have been wearing Leeds' colours.

Reading this puts the doubt's in my mind about doing this in the future, but then I see the reaction of the true supporters of your club and it shows what rugby league is all about and gives me the confidence that opposing fans can still mingle and have a bit of banter with each other. We all have the moronic element, and the true supporters of each club and the game itself need to come together to stamp it out before it get's too out of hand.

For those who did step up to sort out any kind of trouble last night, I admire you.

Don't worry brother, plenty of us there having some great banter with Loiners, crap performance from our guys but I enjoyed the banter, made the game a lot more enjoyable

The club need to be shown to be taking a hard line at this time so I wouldn't be surprised if he's made an example of.

It's creeping in mate we've had a few w#*kers of our own aswell it seems to be a few clubs are getting the "chav" element at the moment but if we stand up to them and follow RL like we know it should be they won't win.

Shocking behaviour.

Its very worrying that incindents of this sort are creaping into our game and needs stamping now not after two months of inquires.

Others have been banned for less

thing is why do people feel the need to throw stuff

7 o' clock kick off next week - on SKY.

Some of these 'nutjobs' will be in the ale house from 12. Add that to the fact the majority of these fools can't hold their drink, we are playing a side that some people have a great bitterness towards - add this to the rawness of what's happened this weekend and there's a cocktail for unpleasant scenes in the WRE next weekend.

IF we pride ourselves on being a family club, then the club have to put their hands in their pockets and get the police stood amongst this lot next week. Step out of line and ban them for life. The decent supporter doesn't want to be stood shoulder to shoulder with this lot every week.

So should I be worried for my safety next week?

I sincerely hope not Stu.

To be fair, I haven't seen trouble with opposing fans, it's more the verbal rubbish that they spout. The Catalans incident was an embarrassing disgrace and it sounds like aswell as the 'on field' disgrace last night, there were similar off field antics.

I have been reading the site a while but have decided to sign up to comment on the above.

i am that younger lad referred to and i would like to explain what happened. basically, a few of us were walking from the west end to tha east end for the second half when we walked past the floodlight to hear a middle aged drunken man agressively abusing the young kids who were lined up waiting to go on at half time. it would appear one of the little cocky ones had told this bloke that his top (cas polo) was and this guy felt the need to offer them all out telling them to fetch their dads. he was calling them all sorts of words and i felt the need to remind him of their age and that he was an ebsarrassment to cas fans and that he was a disgrace. after a rew verbals exchanged (he actually tried to justify his actions by saying they swore at him) he came at me, the result being a punch up and him being escorted out of the ground.

i am not proud of what happened but felt the need to explain what happened as these sort of things can be escalated and the old case of chinese whisper sets in and before you know it people get into trouble.

sorry for tarnishing the reputation of the club's fans by fighting but i felt the guy needed telling and it was obvious he was after trouble and thats what he found.

it's not good to see and hear about other bits of trouble we appear to be getting into more and more bother recently which isn't good for the next round of SL francise applications. i know from speaking to tony (head steward at cas) that when the clubs meet at the RFL however often it is that cas are accused by all the other clubs has having the worst fans and that the club are fighting an up hill battle. this is obviously not good at all.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain & I can see where more and more of the genuine fans are being forced into taking their own actions - through sheer frustration in alot of cases. But idiots with bellies full of booze cannot offer reasonable arguements and therefore incidents like the one describe are the result.

I fear that this is another of the final nails in our Superleague coffin.

theres no justifying his actions, and i keep thinking he must of had to go home and explain to their lass why he was covered in blood, what sort of excuse will he have made up because if he had chosen to tell the truth she would probably slap him.

The question is are you a select racist or a full blown BNP member, did you clap when Kevin Penny scored those tries for you in the Northern rail cup final





, i think your better adopting your avatars stance and tape up that dirty racist mouth you have....................

Any empty fileds or car parks round your way?If so let me know where and i'll give the travellers a nod.I am sure you and your neighbours will be made up.Or is it a case of double standards NIMBY

oh now they are travellers.....tut tut tut racist, had many dealings with travellers some are rotten eggs some are very nice people, just like society as a hole, but you are a racist and the worst kind one that is selective, so i will answer your question there are many car parks and spare land in Castleford, please goole map them and pass the info on, infact id say at some pointy most have been used and will continue to be used, never bothered me before and i doubt it ever will....now answer mine did you clap when Kevin Penny score in the Northern Rail Cup final..or in your case is it double standards.

Crowd trouble at other rugby grounds....i cant believe it. There,s only two bad grounds in super league, Craven Park and The KC Stadium.

Well I have to say I actually know hourigantiger and have attented many a cas game home and away and overseas with the bloke.

I know that there would have had to be a very good reason for him to become involved in something of this nature.

I am sure he was only trying to stop the threats beign made to young kids waiting to go out and play on the pitch at half time. Unfortunatly the other person in question decided to take this further and violence occurd.

Do I condone violence = NO

Do thing happen in the heat of the moment that you may regret = Yes and I am sure if it happened again things would be different and hourigantiger wouldnt have taken actions into his own hands. But the person who should be taking the is the person is the drunk cas fan who was verbally abusing children and offering them and their parents fights.

He is a loyal cas fan through and through and have been to games with him for over 7 years home away and never been a hint of trouble.

I must give HT the credit for having the balls to teel the truth with regards to what happened. You dont see all the drunken fools on here explaining why they took the action they did.
