'Quinns away for the fans : Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:24 pm  

I posted this on the Cas Forum site

IMO this game is crucial to our hopes of cementing a place in the top 8 play offs.

Ignoring any other game especially the Whinos on Friday, the vocal support for the tigers is going to be a factor if are to achieve our aim of play off place.

Since this game is now on Sunday with a 3:00pm kick off it is making difficult for the rank and file supporters to get to Larhndon in any viable numbers.

This an ideal opportunity for the club, and the new media manager to pull out all the stops to get sufficient vocal support to the Stoop to cheer on the tigers..........how.........by adopting the reduced/subsidised travel via buses' as was employed when the Salford match away was targetted as a 'match we need to win' during our relegation season.

I'm not suggesting a free travel for everyone (hey, thats a good idea) but its time Cas started thinking outside the box, as was employedwhen we took 5000 via 100 plus buses to The Valley.

The recent attendences at the Stoop have been poor of late, 3200 for the Bulls was their last home attendence, therefore we should get our support down to the Smoke in way we can, would certainly look good in the eyes of 'the powers that be' if we can take 1000 plus to this game..........over to you Mr. Wright.

Yet I manage to get to Wheldon Road and back from that there London for pretty much every 3.30 home game.

Perhaps there's some sort of fold in the space-time continuum that makes traveling north and back easier than traveling south and back?

I'm genuinely confused. What day/time would you consider less difficult?

It was 3:00 on a Sunday last year and quite a number of Cas fans managed to get there for what was a very entertaining afternoon of rugby and an appearance by one of the club's former great players in the crowd.

Since the match is on a Sunday and the game will finish late evening, for those of us do not want travel back to Nirvana by means of the nation road system (sic) this leaves us will rail travel.

As I'm given to understand that the last train for Nirvana is around 8:00 it means a dash on the Underground to ensure that we not stranded in 'Purgatory'

Was this game originally saturday? If so it suits me better as i'm working nights friday, so sunday is much better for me. I do agree it would be good if the club could do something to encourage a few more of us to go.
