Wakey fans weren't exactly welcoming today. Myself two daughters and four grandkids were subjected to a tirade of abuse in and outside your ground, just because we had our Cas shirts on, and some of your cheerleaders were egging them on down by the shops, where one idiot offered us out, big boy picking on 3 women and children. Oh and we were only there cos the kids were involved in pre match entertainment.

im sure that most wakey fans would of been jesting , if some moron offered you out for a fight I as a wakey fan can only emphasize and offer apologies.
last year at cas the walkers from wakey and cas put in a tremendous effort to raise money for sky Marie a castleford fan , the abuse we got from a lot and i mean a very lot of cas fans was quite disturbing and upsetting . my lads was 6 and 8 at the time and had coins thrown at them and told to '''''''''''' off . however im intelligent to realise that the cas fans who matter would never subject a child to abuse.

Thats a shame it really is, saw you stood by the railings behind the posts just before kick off, can't understand why they would pick on you for just wearing a Cas shirts and all female and kids, its just sick.

I'm sure i can speak for ALL decent Wakey fans and apologise for it.

40 or 50 more like. It continued for a fair few minutes. It was absolutely unacceptable. And all the rubbish about what Ian Smith did or didn't do, or what a couple of Dragons players may or may not have done, doesn't alter that fact.

I was stood in the Princess St stand around the 20m line – it was certainly a nearer 40-50 than 4-5

How come no-one in the media was calling for Leeds fans to be banned when they threw bottles on our pitch a few years ago? Not to say it's right, and that the few Cas fans weren't acting like idiots, but why is it that when we do it everyone is up in arms?

Dont think that the majority of fans are up in arms. The true rugby fans will have nothing but sympathy for a good club with in the main good fans. Lets hope that Cas deal with it for the sake of the club and its true fans and the game in general. Dont think it helps though by you using other clubs past problems as the criteria for what those idiots' did on Saturday night. Its a difficult situation for the club, one which I'm sure they will resolve.

Clearly not too intellegent.


10 out of 10 for masking your hatred of Cas under the charity guise though and added marks for subliminally introducing Cas fans and child abuse....

Last time we played at yours was the first time (barring Hull Fc 92 semi) I have feared for the safety of my young family as Wakefield "fans" pulled down fencing and ran the streets with baseball bats and posts but I am also too intelligent to think that Wakey fans who matter would subject opposing fans or members of the public to fear such as that.

Personally I was disappointed by the references to Ian Smith, seemingly seeking to mitigate despite saying they weren't. Also, the reference to "if" people are identified suggests that for all the rhetoric, so far nobody has been banned.

I'd have rather a shorter statement, forcefully condemning the behaviour.
