Thank you for the information on the match day changes. The match day changes mean that I can now save myself the entry price £42 - Programme - £2.50 Drinks and pies - £25 that is roughly what my wife and I spent on every home match £ £69.50.
My wife and I always stood at the WRE we are not members so we cannot now go to the WRE. We have stood in the WRE for about 20 years and because of shift work we have never got season tickets. We have made lots of friends in the WRE so for the good of the club we will no longer be attending the WC stadium. Along with my wife and I there was also our two son in laws and our two daughters and our grandson and sometimes friends. So with the changes Castleford RLFC have lost roughly between £300 and £400 in match day tickets drinks and food on one family for home matches. Mind you there are lots of teams to choose from around the area. Well done CFLFC for ailainating one family from your ground.

Bye then.... part timer!

D'you know it really winds me up when the club are doing everything they can to raise revenue so they can still give us a club to be proud of, and what do they get? They get nay-sayers, whingers and moaners. There are LOTS of places to stand in the ground but no, somehow your allegedly 'time served' precious square foot of the Wheldon Road End is supposed to be so much more important than the needs of the club, the thousands of other fans, the future of Cas RLFC...?

I hope whoever you and your family can be a**ed to follow in the future make you feel welcome enough to secure your fickle support for another 20 years. But I doubt you'll see the sort of result you've just walked away from today.

Speaking as someone who DID go today, I thought the new arrangements were well managed, the new stewards well informed and the offerings from the new caterers absolutely delicious.

Rather than saving yourself the entry of £42.00 you could have just bought a membership for £50.00 that would have given you entrance to two games and a range of discounts including on Cas merchandise. In essence, you'd have saved money in the long run.

If standing in the WRE is really that important to you for the games you do make and you can afford a membership, then surely the outlay is worth it to 'support' your club?

Agree with Disco, people need to stop whinging and start seeing the wood from the trees. The club are trying to make the membership sell and people continuously put it down. It really gets my goat.

Don't talk out of your bumhole mate, the segregation was not well managed at all. It meant that anyone wanting to go to the bar had to travel the full width of the ground to do so. ONE SINGLE catering unit in the princess street stand for 5000 people. One block of toilets because the other was out of order. Disgusting "service".

The wheldon road end had plenty of space free and the rest of the ground was squashed in - dangerously in some areas i might add in an emergency. I've also never heard the ground chant so less for such a busy occasion - why? Because The non-member cas fans were scattered all over the place.

I paid £21 today for a fantastic onfield performance today. Off the field it wasn't worth a fiver. It also cost £13 entry for one of my friends kids - it's only £12 to go and watch Manchester United??

Even the gmb union advertising board was hanging off dangerously in the first half. How hard is it to shove a few tie wraps or something on stuff like that?!

It's Interesting to see that both Wakefield (My club) and Castleford are both trying to raise extra revenue through member schemes etc, and both seem to have some fans that feel alienated by this. I know the old adage of you cant please all of the people all of the time....
But...
Some people need to see the bigger picture, We both have aging (some would say dilapidated) grounds that cost more in running / maintenance costs than new stadia. We both have uncertainty regarding new grounds delivery (I'll believe them when i'm sat in them!) so we need to get money from wherever we can. If we wish our respective clubs to compete with the "bigger" clubs, or in the worst case scenario, actually survive, we need ALL fans to pitch in and put petty differences aside. Anyway, hopefully in 3 - 4 years everyone will have to find somewhere new to sit / stand anyway......

The turnstiles down the training pitch side were very bad. Massive ques back to the gates on wheldon road. Obviously with it being the first game there was bound to be problems but there were only 2 cash turnstiles which created the problem. Hopefully in future games it won't be as bad
