you seem very bitter. I can understand it to a certain degree, as Quins take a lot of flack. Personally I recognise how important they are to our game. The main thing going against you is the nomadic existence you have had to endure. Any sporting club needs identity and I believe that is what what the London club lacks. The club needs it's own ground then it can build from there. But players like LMC show the club is bearing fruit. But there is really no need to have such a dig at Cas.

Superb post. Intact that's the best post I have ever read. That is your photo on your avatar, isn't it?

unless they are on sky, the vast majority will probably be sat in the pub! (alledgedly)

personally, I'm still planning on losing weight.

Well good luck to Cas, playing some good rugby and top of the league.
Why shouldn't they enjoy that??

Not your ground though is it son



Your clubs choice to jump in bed with Quins and it has decimated your support-big own goal

Yep, we were flying high at Brentford

Because that way they don't embarass themselves when in beer,

oh sorry they do though don't they

How many Super league teams would get 10,000 against Catalan when on the box? Castleford is a small town for crying out loud. If we get 10,000 at all, its a pretty damn good achievement.


As for Bentham, I agree that we got a little fortunate with that decision, but its swings and roundabouts, there'll be a decision that'll be horrific against us next week or the week after...

Quins fan piping up about a poor crowd? Pot calling kettle very black. If you got 4,900 you'd consider it a bumper crowd.

We're top of the league, we're top of the league, we're Castleford Tigers and we're top of the league!

I hope not otherwise those pills the doc gave me are definitely the wrong ones.

I am well disapointed with the crowd, although i watched it on TV due to personal reasons, i said 6500 when it showed you the ground, dont know where 4900 came from

4800 is a poor crowd but its 10% of the town's population. Quins manage 1% of Richmond.

Wow, what an incredibly pointless comparison.

should have seen terry halibut on friday. he was shocking. gave us a try with the most obvious double movement you will ever see. the ptb was a joke and he was totally clueless.
i generally rate bentham but i thought he had a poor game last night

Why is it pointless (other than that was the only thing you could think of with which to reply?)

I'd suggest that 99% of the population of Castleford are aware of the Rugby League team, therefore 89% of your population made the choice not to go to the match.

I would suggest that 5%-10% of the population of Richmond are aware of Harlequins RL, so capturing 1% of the total population is pretty good going.

Leeds got about 13000 on Friday night. Lets say there are 700000 people in Leeds, so they got about 2% of the population. Disgraceful by Leeds, obviously.

Bore off with your made up statistics.

Which one do you dispute?

I think this is the made up statistic to which Towns refers. Doesn't really bear scrutiny does it?

If quins can only make 5% of the population in there local area aware that they even exist then that is an absolutley terrible effort from quins, if they cant at least get the local people to know they exist then we might as well replace them with skolars and see if they can do a better job. If you have a marketing department sack them now.

As for the cas game we always get poor attendances playing on friday and saturdays on sky, move it to a sunday and it would add at least a thousand to the gate, take it off sky and you get a thousand more. Playing on a sunday, not on sky we got 8.5k last week with about 1-1.5k of away fans. I myself could go to this match because of work but would have been able to had it been a sunday.

We are top of the league say we are top of the league.

Did you see the part "I would suggest" ?

What gives you reasons to doubt that it might be correct?

What do you think of Leeds' poor (according to your logic) crowd?

Not a chance bud, trust me, no-one has heard of you in Richmond, speaking as someone who spends quite a bit of social time there, they haven't got a clue you exist, its unfortunate for you but you need to move asap

Yep. Our marketing department has been slated for years, it is quite pathetic, I agree. But we have only been in the area for 5 years whereas your lot have been there for 100 (?), so I'd give us a bit more time yet
