I agree
This I think sums up were we went wrong should off kicked on after 2017 but decided to waist money. On players who was not up to super league standard. I don't agree with hudds tiger that cas fans should not expect to be challenge in for top honours negative attitude and small club mentality good post :dance:

your still not accepting the stupid kickoff time could be part of the problem?
School holidays? Evening time? Weekend? Leeds Utd played at lunch time so no clashes with football.

And the fact we play at 7:45pm on Thurs/Fri. So no, I think it has little bearing or relevance to be honest.

Agreed.

If people cant show up on a Saturday evening during the school holidays then they're never showing up.

There's basically shift workers who can't make that, and they'll struggle no matter what.

We finished 3rd last year, 5th is probably the highest we can finish with the games we have coming up. That is not an improvement from the year before. Everyone below us, have been even poorer, we're lucky the likes of Leeds and Catalan after spending big have had an awful year, otherwise we'd be further down that table.
It isn't realistic to expect an improvement from 3 when Saints, Wire, Wigan, Hull, Catalans can all spend more than us and on marquee players.

My own personal expectations are that we should be aiming for 4th every season with the aim of knocking out one of the above.

The season has been inconsistent - not disappointing, though I guess you can be disappointed by inconsistency. But that's the same for every side - look at the league. Barring Saints every other side has lost games in double digits.
We can spend on a marquee If we plan it into the business model

I'd love a marquee player but he'd have to be a bit special. Fantastic on and off the field.

A genuine contender for man of Steel and someone who'd put bums on seats. But they generally don't come over now a days.

Sonny bill is going to Toronto and he'd do. But can we afford a million pound a season because that's the sort of money you'd need to pay.

Interesting I’ve just been reading that the average British worker is earning just 21k a year, they added in the cost of living and all bills and on average it left £58 a week to spend on luxuries. That wouldn’t pay a family into watch a game. I’ve been saying it for a while we are a working class town and it is becoming harder and harder for families to stump up the cash to get to games. The club as to balance its books but it cannot be reliant on supporters coming through the gates has I can only see gates falling as the price continues to go up.

The average Castleford worker doesn't earn nowhere near the British average. Probably more like £16,000

He didn’t look too bad when he was warming up with the team before the London game last week so maybe he’s not far off?
