Well its possible...form goes out of the window in derby games and the loss on Friday could have taken its toll on them both mentally and physically.

However a Wakey win will ask more of its players than ours...are their players picking & choosing which games to put the effort in?, it would prove the problems on the field wouldn't be down to the coach alone.

Not long to find out...got my fingers crossed its not Child who's the ref

Possible but unlikely....think Cas will win by 30 unfortunately. Trinity are in disarray.

What a great side to watch Cas are this year , hope you keep it up and have a great season - always been my "second team" to the extent that such a thing can ever exist!

One thing bugging me about Friday though is the crowd - I haven't kept much of an eye on your attendances this year but surely that was a hugely disappointing turnout for a top of the table match?

got admit it was puzzling we have had 8k and nearly 10k for the last 2 games so all I can guess it is because it was sky on a Friday night which people in Cas really don't like but got to admit it was a poor crowd.

Plus the start of Easter half term! But very surprised with the low number on Friday!

It was disappointing but not a surprise for me.

Friday night games are much more difficult for fans that live further (we have fans in London, Wales, North East) etc and equally just as difficult for families with young kids.

For me, Friday night games are always going to knock 1k off plus we have a lot of casual fans that don't turn out when the game is on Sky, preferring to sit at home or in the pub.

Similarly, Hull brought probably 3k to the game a few weeks back and the Wigan crowd was boosted with probably double the fans Saints brought (only about 1k).

Also, we've had a fair few neutrals come down this season too and with everyone playing on a Friday night virtually, a lot of fans from Wakey, Leeds may have gone to their respective game.

the attendance seemed baffling, the parts shown on TV looked pack't, even Eddy said it was pack't the princes street must have been empty, for me we couldn't get another six thousand in the ground.???????

Re: progress : Mon Apr 14, 2014 8:46 pm  

there was way more than 6500 there as that would mean it would be just over half full most stands were pretty much packed out the emptiest looked to be the seating area railway end had quite a few saints fans plus cas fans on either side of them wre and princess street were pretty much packed out, i looked around the ground a few times to see what the attendance was like so was pretty shocked when i saw less than 6500 on superleague site but defo alot more than that

Re: progress : Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:44 pm  

It looked like around 7,500 to me, maybe a tax fiddle!

(That is a joke by the way, you know, where people can feel free to laugh, I don't want a law suit!)

The Princess St was virtually empty and holds the most people (4.5k). You could probably fit everyone in there into one half of the stand.

The Saints end was also misleading. They brought a few but they were mainly spread out amongst the barriers with huge gaps in between and to the sides.
