Considering the side we had out - Widders at half back for christ sake - I think we did okay. It's sad that I'm actually content with losing.

Widders at half back?!

Seriously. Matterson needs to have a word with himself about player positions. It's a joke and has been since he took over.

Heard McGoldrick had some nice touches but also some usual shocking ones

Not been funny mate but what do you expect? Last time I looked we weren't up at the top of the table with you guys. I went today but can't blame the other fans who didn't want to waste a full day and so much money when we were dead set to lose.

Firstly good effort from you attending, and the other 149 fans who made it over.

But you really dont have a case saying people dont attend because you arent playing well. Our attendances actually went up when we were bottom of the league a few years back. Hull bring a good amount every season and get beat everytime as another example, Maybe its off the field issues? Which i know is a different matter altogether

You brought 2k last year in the playoff, that means only around 1/15 made it over this time. Its the worst ive seen from a heartlands club since huddersfield in the early 2000's

Anyway all the best for the rest of the season I hope you make the top 8, although its looking unlikely now

Due to finances (i.e. saving for a mortgage), the only away game I have been to this year is Wakey. And i have to say, it's nice to have every other Sunday off. Especially when you're wasting your hard earned for watching the crap that we've had to endure in some games this year.

Which was all but around 150 of you today, shocking Cas turnout

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and guess you won't be up on all things Tigers. There are lots of reasons why only around 150 Cas fans turned up today. Since before the season started us Cas fans highlighted problems we felt needed addressing. Namely fitness, squad strength and depth, lack of signings and the re-signing of players we should have let go. The season progresses and our worries are highlighted further and the club do nothing to act on anything. Add to that we have a board who seem to always wish to save money and have shown no ambition over the last 5 or 6 years giving us gap year after gap year, a coach who comes out with some of the craziest team talks, positioning of players and seemingly lack of defencive coaching abbility. A bunch of players who at times have looked as though they couldn't beat any of our areas under 10's teams and who's effort in some games has been truelly shocking. Our players have constant brain farts, gifting teams easy points and even when we are in a good position to win a game we somehow do something no amateur player would ever do, to lose us the game, if we haven't already lost it in some pathetic 15 minute spell just after half time again (oh why didn't i get down to the bookies and back on that happening again today?). Oh yeah, we lose our "star" half back and replace him with a kid who has played most of the season on the bench at Batley (no offence Kyle, i hear you played really well today, top stuff!). We seem to be losing some of our best young kids to teams such as Saints and our stadium still hasn't been built because we're waiting on someone to scribble up something with some crayolas.

We've been loyal, loud and proud. We've followed our relegated teams all season even though they've been pants (but the effort was there), then followed them all over NL1. We're a good set but all we ask of right now, is a chance to watch our team play SL rugby at a standard fitting of SL. Our board, coach and players over the most part of the season have been no where near SL, we can admit that. Thus, sometimes you just can't be arsed trudging over to Wigan when you could simply stop at home and poke yourself in the japs eye with a hot poker.

No offence shambawangy, but half a season stuck at the bottom of the table is nothing compared to what we've had to put up with for the last 6 years.

I was listening to BBC Manc and they said it reading the teams out. It's hard to believe.
