Catch 22 : Sat Mar 24, 2012 1:26 pm  

I had a conversation with my brother today, that went a bit like this - Me "I've got a spare ticket for the rugby, do want to come? It won't cost you owt." My brother "No, I left the ground last week feeling I had been cheated out of 80 mins of my life." he too is a lifelong fan, but can't be bothered to turn up (like the team). This will be happening all around the Cas area. It won't stop unless they invest in some decent players. How can they do that when folk don't turn up. Just a thought.

As an outsider looking in. If he's a lifelong fan surely he's had worse times than this being a cas fan?

It does mount up.

I work with season ticket holders who aren't even going to bother trying to get a shift swap to go to nexts weeks game V Hull K.R.

They have been season ticket holders for years as well, the feedback is if the players can't be arsed and the board can't (or won't) try and find more investment to strenghten the squad why should they bother.

If the players put in a good stint Sunday they may change their minds, but if people like them are thinking like this the alarm bells should start ringing for the powers that be

Been a season ticket holder for years.
Got one for this season.
Been to 3 games all season.
salford away
bradford wigan home.

Watched the hudds game on tv. That was the final straw.

Just sold my voucher at a loss for the FC game, also contemplating selling my voucher for the HKR game.

Like as been said, it mounts up, then you snap.
I'm just about at that point now.

Once i've walked, it will take the biggest of efforts from the club to win me back.

Shows how "loyal" our fans are there.

If Super League was even, all teams would have a chance of finishing bottom. You have ups and you have downs; that's part of being a fan.

Guess "Cas Until I die" was absolute rubbish then.

If you walk, you have no reason to complain about the quality of the product on the field; after all, you don't put the money in no wonder we're struggling.

Clearly they are fans that aren't or won't understand our situation. Smacks of band-waggoning to me. Perhaps some of them should bother to go down and speak to the BoD and understand our situation. Then they may just realise how important the fans are.
