No doubt there will be letters in the league express and endless posts on here moaning about our stewards but lets get it right so that even the thickest or Cas supporters can understand.

You are in the seats so you SIT

Ohhh shurrup that's bull and you know it, there's more then 500kr fans that go to wigan, hudds, and the like that don't sit down.
They were at the back of the stand so no harm done.

No need to single out one group of fans mate. You see this all the time. Last season I was acutely aware of it at the Galpharm when it seemed people spent more time stood up than sat down, which must have been a pain for our disabled supporters at the back of the stand.

Because that's the area assigned to them. At the corners of the ground there are elevated areas clear of seating which I noticed were being used by disabled Huddersfield fans. Now whether these were available to our supporters I don't know.

Looked like very harsh treatment by the stewards yet again. No problem with people standing up at the back. As has been said a large percentage of rovers fans do at hudds/wigan/kc etc.. And we rarely have problems with the stewards.

to be honest think stewards were been picky but then its prob only the same treatment we have wen we travel away, personally dont see why it is a problem you cant exactly get excited wen your sat down and on quite a few occasions today cas fans had reason to.

You really can you know.

It's health and saftey and seeing as we have the chairman that we do i'll assume he doesn't want the Cas fans standing up until he's opened the castleford office up

If that stand isn't safe to stand in, it isn't safe to sit in either and should be closed, simple as that.

What a moronic outlook. I hope you don't drive a cabriolet with your line of logic.

You are obviously a fool, They are seats so you have to sit in them as per health and saftey. If the stewards ask you to sit down then thats what you do otherwise you should be thrown out

Well if it isn't safe to stand in, how are you supposed to safely locate and walk to your seat?, and when its been raining that stand gets unbelievably slippy and should really be closed on such occassions as I've seen on here and in the League Express people don't feel safe in the stand.

But they feel safe enough to stand up in this unbelievably slippery stand rather than sit down. Nowt so queer as folk eh?

Has anyone noticed how it's mainly Cas fans we have this problem with every year.

i was sat in the north stand very close to the cas supporters

it wasn't them standing that was a problem

they were very aggresive, swearing, and was told by roy holdstock to shut up, as they were making kids cry!

this just made them worse, even though it was only about 4 of them who were really a problem the stewards just made it worse!!

but they all seemed to shut up when dobbo's goal went over

Apart from the little scrote who wanted to take on the entire east stand obviously.

I would like to see him try!

not the point, at the end of the day every side has a few div's in their support. known roy years and he wouldnt be havin words for no reason. at the end of the day, kids are around and regardless of sitting or standing kids shouldn't be getting upset by 'supporters' of any team. Like i said, unfortunately every team has em, and the cas ones (the minority) were in the north stand today.

There is no health and safety legislation that makes you have to sit down. It wil be a Hull KR policy.

...and as such should be abided by when visiting the stadium.

If there is no sign up on the stand saying you must be seated at ALL TIMES, or isn't announced over the PA system before the game, then it isn't obviously a rule, not to mention there's a quote over on the Cas board of someone saying the stewards weren't even sure if they were allowed to stand or not.

The stewards are allowed to stand. It's an integral part of stewarding. There have been experiments but they found that ejecting unruly elements was being unduly compromised by the stewards having to shuffle around on their bums.

standing or sitting being abusive to the extent where kids are getting upset could cause more prolems than there was, only takes one dad to take the law into his own hand etc. (like i said all teams have em) glad nothing came of it and can we just drop the debate about standing or sitting, if you sit or stand and its irrelevant if you are causing trouble with your mouth. still wrong, as usual the stewards get blamed, not saying their perfect but i saw kids held away from the scene by parents and thats not good at a family sport

We had this last year, We paid £20 to go in a stand we were told we had to sit in as it wasnt safe to stand up, thats what was been said by your stewards.

Sorry, but who goes to a seating stadium and sits down all game, I can guarantee every club has some fans who just dont, Any football fan would stand up etc...

At the end of the day, the cas fans knew the head steward, and eventually he didnt mind us standing as long as no trouble was caused, And it wasnt.

Were not the hooligans everyone thinks, We go for a good time, And barring 1 dispute with a Cas and Hull Kr fan, nothing was wrong today, A superb match, Of which neither side deserved to lose, Watched by 2 good sets of fans, End of
