I don't care if you have commented on our forum or not, other Cas posters have and that is normal running up to a game between the 2 sides. A bit of banter!!
You implied it's natural to post on the opposing forum. All I was doing was pointing out that perhaps it's not natural. I don't hate the Wakefield club, and I've read the forums but I haven't felt the urge to post.
As far as banter goes, banter is good-natured teasing. It's not something you can do fuelled by hating a club.
Truly hating a team involves doing things like never mentioning their name (calling them things like "That team we don't talk about") avoiding everything to do with them (including opposing fans and internet message boards) refusing to wear anything with their team colours on it, not allowing your children to have anything like the team's mascot in the house, driving miles out of your way to avoid looking at the road where their stadium is. Believe me, I've seen people who actually do rubbish like this.
Bantering with opposing fans shows a good-natured rivalry with and not a hatred of their team. Similarly, if you weren't interested, you wouldn't banter. You wouldn't be able to because your disinterest would stop you finding out things to banter about.
Still, as I said, it's whatever floats your boat. It's at least made a change from the usual rumours about players signing or leaving and stadium plans. Marshman, have I drifted this thread enough yet........?
