You all must seriously be deluded if you think you're more vocal than Leeds. We'll see on Sunday however.

Yep, i'll admit to that. Leeds fans will be louder than the Cas fans if you win. The forums will be full of crowing Leeds fans, Facebook will have all the part time Leeds fans announcing they are going to their one game per season and the queue for the ticket office at Leeds next week will be far larger than the one this last week when only a few regulars could be arsed. I look forward to a good atmosphere on Sunday and both sets of fans making a good day of it. I still think however, the Leeds lot will only be singing if you are winning.

Cas fans don't need a drum.

All the best Cas, hope you do it.

Name a club that doesn't take part-time fans to Wembley? If you get there and don't take part-time fans it'll be a pretty lonely 7k or so rattling around in your end of Wembley won't it?

Please also name a club where the fans are louder when they're losing. Maybe the 7 million travelling Hull KR fans are? I dunno.

My hope: A good game and both sets of supporters create a good atmosphere and enjoy their day, whatever the result.

Fair point, more a question of whose fans are still loud when they're losing and that's probably when expectations come into play.

Due to respective records of success Cas fans tend only to ask for effort wheras Leeds fans, I sense, demand victory in most games.

If the semi is competitive I will be amazed if we're the less vocal set.

I'll tell you what SM; no matter what the result is on Sunday, I bet there's more left inside the Keepmoat at full-time than there will be on the 80 minute mark in the Halliwell Jones. The Wigan Walk vs. the 'Evacuating Old Trafford in the quickest time possible' World record holders!

I'll consider it a big plus if our team coach doesn't get bricked....

If you do get to wembley will you consider it a result if you fans aren't brawling again?

Oh yeah because last year the couple of idiots scrapping managed to turn it into a 35K mass brawl.

When we get to Wembley.....again....I'll consider it a result when we have the Trophy safely home to Headingley.

The actions of a few handing out some instant karma to the Great Lancashire Unwashed, will in no way detract from that happy feeling.
