| Correct, cas fans are the only fans to throw tounge in cheek comments in all of rugby league. We should all take the thousands of pounds we put into the game and take the money to another sport.
You want a job with the rfl in marketing ???

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"It's a pity that people on here have taken the approach they have towards Andy Wilson and his comments. He heard what he heard and he commented upon it. He would say the same thing about any group of fans no matter which club they supported, assuming he heard them first of course. And it wasn't as if he was saying all Cas fans were like that; just a group of them. Every club has them. He just happened to hear your lot and was bothered by it. He isn't alone in being bothered by the element within each club who choose to be abusive. I don't like the element within my own fanbase who are like that and I would hope that if Andy Wilson, or any other journalist, heard any Saints fans being abusive he would embarrass them by naming and shaming them in his articles.
I'm not a Guardian reader but the Guardian is now the only broadsheet to employ an RL correspondent. In other words, those who read the broadsheets are rarely, if ever, exposed to our game. Often, though not always, people who read the broadsheets are also people who have money and connections, and our sport needs money and connections.
Instead of abusing Andy Wilson (who is a very good journalist actually), why don't you read his weekly blog and maybe join in some discussion there - not abusive or silly stuff but good stuff about rugby league - and support the one remaining dedicated broadsheet RL correspondent still in existence, before we lose him as well?'"
The point is he does hear other fans swearing at matches but doesn't comment on it, he never misses a chance to have a go at cas,he doesn't have a good word to say about us.
If a broadsheet journalist was using the national media to try to damage the reputation of saints due to personal agenda would you be so supportive of him?

Because he isnt targetting your team or his beloved loiners every time someone swears, you think he is ok. The man has an agenda against Castleford, and if you read his ''work'' you will see he has a pop at cas even if we are not playing in the game he is reporting on. Lazy journalist and when he tries , his ''work'' is infantile.
all in all , Andy Wilson is a waste of time.

| The terraces have always been places where you learn your bad language. It's not fitting with a family game, but equally I expect to hear it, and I don't think it's any different than thirty years ago. In fact, thirty years ago, opposing fans were more interested in knocking ten bells out of each other. Unless Cas fans were singing something particularly offensive, such as racist or homophobic, it seems a bit rough to single them out, as due to the Gareth Thomas incident, it suggests a problem that isn't really any different to any other club.

| Interesting letter in this weeks League Express mailbag commenting on aggressive and abusive chanting by Salford fans at their recent game at the new Saints ground. Says that some fans were ejected as a result.
Wonder if Mr Wilson saw fit to report on that.....

| I am strongly feeling that all clubs have a smilar issue and perhaps it is the silent majority that are to blame, maybe I hear it, do nothing and as such I am part of the problem???
Didn't a very clever person once say that for evil to triumph it only takes good people to do nothing? just saying, not sure what my point is, but it would seem based on my own investigation to be Rugby League wide?

 , the sheer hypocrisy of Cas fans is unbelievable. Don't you realise how thick a lot of you sound when for the umpteenth time on this topic you're banging on about Leeds. You complain about Andy Wilson for singling your team out and then do exactly the same thing towards Leeds when there are 13 other teams in Superleague. It's nice that you think about us so much we are included in every topic but seriously........have you ever thought how sadly obsessed you are about the Champs ?

You do know apart from saying that just because you're a Leeds fan you don't see what Wilson is doing he doesn't mention Leeds at all?
I know you like to think people talk about you but guess what...it's all in your head
Oh and btw....one troll doesn't equal all Cas fans, just like you being a bit slow and having a misplaced superiority complex (just fyi, you didn't contribute to Leeds winning anything), doesn't mean ALL Leeds fans are the same.

I'm sure Sir Kevin Sinfield and the rest of lads waxing lyrical about how our support helped them on their way to being champions also had the steam coming out of your ears. My money and vocal support alongside 15,000 others certainly won't have hindered Leeds throughout the season. If Cas fans supported their team as well as leeds fans support theirs they may have a more favourable chance of achieving something. Some cas fans unfortunately spend too much time and effort chanting vitriol at opposition supporters rather than helping their team, Andy wilson is just another person that's picked up on it.

You do know that if the same percentage of people from Leeds supported the Rhinos was the same as the percentage of people from Cas attend Cas games, Leeds would have over triple the attendance they do now? Even after winning trophies they're still the clubs 2nd team
And I'm sure they love hearing you all chant abuse at fans, players and officials every week
You sir, are a poor troll welcome to the ignore list.

I'm glad you called Leeds fans "supporters" as opposed to Cas fans that "attend" games. You hit the nail on the head there, we get behind our team whereas your lot just turn up and moan at the ref, at opposition fans and anyone who listens. Thanks for that
