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:classycas57 wrote:I agreegreenhouse wrote:if getting 9000 average crowds means we can go down the marquee route, then why did we sign bang average players after 2017 when wasn't our average around the 9000 mark ?. seems to me the club always blames the supporters rather than look at there own performance.

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.

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.

I'd love a marquee player but he'd have to be a bit special.

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.

Re: Huddersfield Away
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.Squaddie86 wrote:HuddsTigers wrote:School holidays?

The average Castleford worker doesn't earn nowhere near the British average.

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?CasAttack wrote:What's up with Matt Cook does anyone know?
