    Was one of 167 away fans who went to see them at Warrington last night. A sad state of affairs to see their continued decline, and in some ways a similar story of ineptitude to pur football club.

    Theres a huge problem with the relegation and promotion model in RL as well where Cas have been hopeless fodder for 3 consecutive years and yet will probably again still manage to hold on to SL status

    Used to watch Cas a bit in the early 90's had a great team back then, lost all interest in RL since the formation of SL way back when.
    The current set up is just a shambles, teams sat bottom/2nd bottom getting pastings with little to play for.

    Yes on the other hand Wakey are getting big crowds and winning, amazing what you can do with an owner who has half a brain and tries to engage with the locals. Some lessons for Barnsley - and he’s a Barnsley fan as well!

    Have to admit; i don't see the attraction of RL..the union code seems much more enthralling.

    Its still hilarious to see Cass and Wakey struggle, when it happens to them. Even more so, when my team Hull Fc struggle with them lol, at least we can all have a laugh about it. :rolleyes:
    I was in Cass a few days ago, having my car Mot'd, down Wheldon road there.
    And its become such a grubby taarn, but then again, maybe its always been like that.

    Yeah i agree, it's a joke how they brought in IMG for guidance and to boost the game. They said get rid of Magic Weekend, the SL said no ,then loop fixtures, the SL said no! What's the point? No relegation or promotion ,nowt to play for for most teams.

    Wakey ehh, the taarn that thinks its a city.
    Just because its got a fancy type of church, and a big population, and about 500 pubs and take away restaurants, ohh and a big nasty horrible prison too lol.
    I still look at it as one of us though, part of the five/six towns area. :D

    Should have been kicked out of SL a long time go, every time their status came up for discussion there was false promises and bull **** about a new stadium. Doesn't help though when you appoint poor coach after poor coach.
    Problem now is you could easily say the same for Salford and Huddersfield who are also having appalling seasons.

    And as I speak, we're currently handing out a right codding, to Catalans... its 0-34.
    But then again, they and Toulouse shouldn't even be in the Uk Rugby league set up. :eek:

    It was same with c@$ ,got blueprints out of NEW ground and RL fell for it every time. Still haven't got a new ground! Put some seats in a stand and it's fine, RL is by amateurs.

    Can't say that they bring a lot to the game - apparently.
