Lad with drum does a sterling job...people don't have to sing just make some noise that builds up atmosphere

Great idea
REALLY great idea.

Get some new songs put into the idea pot and then decide upto 6 to be put on a sheet ...and handed at the gate

Great opportunity for a sponsor too??

I think the atmosphere away from home is top notch to say we are the away fans.i think the club could help more through the tannoy aswel when were at home.when they played under pressure when we forced a goal line drop out.individual music for players when they score.it just needs ramping up a bit by everyone.were in the Super 8s.its the business end of the season,were in with a cracking chance of been 1 game from old Trafford for the second time on the trot.these are times to embrace and enjoy what’s happening.lets all lift it a gear now,players,staff and fans.COYF

Catch 22!

If the team are winning week in, week out, the crowd responds positively. Conversely, when we play as bad as we did in the first half against Wigan, there's nowt to sing about.

Equally, if the songs are belted out, the players seem to react positively and vice versa.

Having said all that, I'm not entirely sure anyone wants to hear this fat, bald, 49 year old, bellow anything out!

Can't see many companies wanting to associate themselves with a song sheet that contains

Stand up if you're Castleford

I think as players have moved on it's become harder to replace the songs for them. A few years back we had Huby, Huby and Rangi, Rangi Chase, Rangi, Rangi Chase. There's no many songs you can fit Sene-Lefao, Laulu-Togaga'e and Mata'utia into!

And then when people try and suggest new songs they get shot down by people, either because it's likely to get support from their pals or because they don't like someone else coming up with something.
Simple ones always best ..your not singing anymore to saints fans at semi cut like a knife
Gale been are best player never heard a song for him
Easy tho come up with der der der der ZAK HARDAKER even joined in that one mesen last year at headinley when he went past leeds full back like he was glued to turf

Last year seems a long time ago but if I remember it correctly we as Castleford fans feasted on caviar and champagne. I remember wanting a hard match then feeling worried when we had one. I think you have to enter the ground with the right attitude. It is sport and we are there to be entertained. If you watch a club to enhance your own ego then maybe there is something not healthy.

I know football teams have tried this in the past and media picked up on it and it was a complete embarrassment.

Is it just me who goes to a rugby match to watch a game and not have the slightest bit of interest in how many people are singing and playing a drum ? If I wanted to listen to singing I would go watch a choir. If I wanted music I would go to a gig.

Anyway - who in there right minds decides "I think i'll take a musical instrument to the game today" ? Bizarre.

All you here coaches say is we want to quiet the crowd all you here players say the backing of the crowd made all the difference if people can't see the advantage of having the crowd behind you making lots of noise that would surprise me

Not to mention the obvious swing of 50/50 calls the louder crowd (generally the home side) seem to get.

The barmy army really seemed to pick up there voice on Friday night . Well done to the lads. Anyone know why the 16 year old spikey hair kid with his drum is at home games ?

Good to hear the princess street stand shout forward a couple of times in unison.
