Vasty, I think you have overstated the average but regarding the differential of 1000 you have to bear in mind Cas finished bottom and were thrashed most weeks wheras Wakey had prolonged periods of good form and reached the cup semis. My argument being that unlike Cas, Wakey will struggle to increase/maintain a fanbase without a new stadium (I suspect attendances are down at Belle Vue this season despite the team's excellent start). I do not subscribe to the myth that Wakey will never again draw bigger crowds than Cas but I believe they will have to play elsewhere to do so.

Correct, I would not claim our support is ideal, and I have never been less than impressed by the way Castleford people support their club. What I am pointing out is that the once massive differential is no longer there and it is not the issue some still choose to make it.

As for potential. I'll leave that for the future to sort out.

Wouldn't call it a myth, here is a cracking example of Castleford's support same days, same times, different attendences ?

NEITHER WERE ON SKY

Cas Vs Bulls - 9,185
Wakie Vs Bulls - 6,516
(May i point out that this was when you had tonked us ? this figure is very low considering the bulls brought about 1,500/2,000 over i bet isn't it)

....Oh and the Bulls had just beaten the Rhinos.

Oh we won't. But I expect an announcement is just around the corner. You're still a good few months behind us in work.

An announcement has been 'just around the corner' since July 2008.

Come on Al it's part of the fun

TBH I'm not actually gloating as I think both us and Cas are exactly in the same boat and always have been.

Both schemes are just that schemes. Cas have the planning permission but let's be honest that's a given. If a developer wants it and has clients with clout he will get planning permission, money will always clear a path.

Money, that is the key and the only factor no one is clear on and no one on here or on the Trinity site hand on heart can say they have that rather important component in place.

In both cases SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Indeed it is a great contribution which offers pause for reflection, given that we've now got six pages of a thread started by a Wakey fan, talking about Wakey, on the Castleford forum.
