www.castigers.com/article.php?id=962 What are peoples thought on this? Do you think this is the big announcment that has been rumoured?

It's the big 'Cas Fan' announcement that has been trailed all over the website and in emails over the past month or so, yes.

It's not the big stadium announcement which is planned for 'before the Leeds game', no.

Was not aware there was any announcement before the Leeds game other than the stadium plans been shown.

Wouldn't that be an announcement?

In principle it would be a good idea if it was more beneficial to accrue points.

Paying £10 is sod all really and all the money goes into the club at the end of the day.

However, you then have to spend between £400-£800 either in the club shop or from all of the participating stores just to recoup £10 offer.

It would be better if it was 10 points per pound spent. It would encourage people to spend more.

No different from a Nectar Card really, no real cost in getting one, and even if you buy a shirt every year and a couple of DVDs, you'll make back the money eventually

=#0080FFIt's also for use on other shops like Play.com, Comet, Currys, Boots, etc.

That being said, you have to spend between £1000-£2000 in these shops and remember to use your fob when doing so just to get your original £10 back.

I think the idea is horrendous and I can't imagine many fans going for it.

=#0080FFLet's say you spend £100 a year in the club shop, as I assume Season Tickets won't count.

£10 for the fob.

200 points to start with.

1 point per £1 means that it would take 8 years to recoup 800 points and achieve the £10 off which you've already spent.

But obviously that's ONLY if you use it for the Cas shop.

It covers lots of high street brands and if you spend quite a bit per annum, you could probably get a tenner off per year.

Yes but we are already aware of that and I knew it was going to be about the stadium and made at the Leeds match.

On the other forum there is talk of a major announcement that Craig Posskit put on his facebook that was due to be made this week so I presume this is it.

I don't think it is tbh

=#0080FFThe problem being, you can only use it in the Cas Shop, all the other stores are online only.



=#0080FFEDIT: It would appear that this isn't entirely accurate, apparently Currys and PC World accept it in store.

Reasoning for this? or just going out on limb?

Because Craig only stated there would be an announcement last week. This has been advertised for at least two weeks.

Just looking at the club logos on the teamcard website, clubs with schemes so far seem to be

Football
Chelsea
Bolton Wanderers
Millwall
Ipswich
Celtic
Sheffield Wednesday
Oldham
Carlisle

Rugby League
Hull KR
Bradford
Us
Swinton

Rugby Union
Wasps

Others
The Lawn Tennis Association.


Don't know what, if anything, that tells us

Seems in theory a good idea.

Although the points per pound would have to be good enough to encourage people to invest

I'll be buying a Dishwasher and a Washing Machine within the next couple of months so could get points from that

You will have afew probs to start with but all in all its a points scheme and you should accure points for shirt sales,away tickets,offical away travel with the club as well as the online stores and also if anyone uses ebay,it links thru ya card also so you accure points like theres no tomorrow.
I would join for a tenner no probs.

Can't see that it would be something I'd be interested in.
