I've grown up in Pontefract all my life and every week all you hear is about another person that has been assaulted, stabbed or raped or something along those lines.
Society in general is going down the crapper - that's in general - no just a Pont and Cas thing.
I understand people do not want to lose heritage and history, but then it's not going to attract people to invest in the area which would enable it to become a better place.
Are you kidding not going to attract investment in the area, open your eyes and look what has already been invested and is still being invested and is not cas building a new stadium etc have a look at the new college and the hundreds of new houses at whitwood need i go on,

at the same time i wouldnt knock anybody for wanting to live elsewhere,im sure bishop burton is a wonderfull place but its not comparable to castleford as its a rural area with very little happening,i still dont think people appretiate what exscape and freeport have done for our town,ive pretty much travelled the world and the only place comparable ive seen is downtown disney or bal harbour in miami both of which are worldwide attractions.the reason exscape has over a million visitors a year is because not eveytown or even city has so many faciltys in one area.
has for the town itself although the town centre needs a revamp there is no doubt that the quality of housing in cas and ponte has improved no end nearly evey area has some modern homes which has given the people of cas somewhere better to live, for many of the older folk life in cas has never been so good while the younger generation dont remember when the town was on its knees in the 80s after a twelve month strike followed by all the pit closures maybe if they knew of the suffering then they wouldnt be so insulting on how far the town has come in the last 20 years.

It does of courses have a ski slope that attracts folk from outside of the area but how many 'locals' use it?

Of course some locals use the ski slope but a lot more use the bars and eateries. Hence the problem for pubs in Cas town centre.
I still don't undertand why folk are getting so hung up about the comments of someone who didn't stay long and only reported what he will have seen. Why don't we let the town speak for itself?
Agree 100% :clap: home is home, dont like it .. lump it. Move away. For Ian to come out an say that i dont no whether hes brave or stupid, for however much he lived over here i bet he took everything that came is way an didnt complain, didnt complain he got an house or a wage from rugby but when he goes hes quick off the mark to run is mouth, i for one am glad he as left SL and hope he is to never return.Dubai Cas Lad wrote:just to put a point out there to how funny this link is now and go back to the original point lol.
when i used to help out in the loft when the redroom used to be for so called VIP's after id locked up in the glassroom. ian and is chums from bradford and a few from wakey used to be up their almost every other week. and he was always smashed off his face, thinking he was mightier than thow when really he stood out as the prat in the room and was told on a few occasions to pipe down.
his s*#t still stinks like the rest of us, dont know why everyones so bothered about what a second rate ozzie/ scot/cornish...what ever he is thinks of cas.
At the end of it all home is home to many people and I see why people see things that way. I love it here and even though cas is a million times different, I also love coming home too and always have a wicked time. ive an Iraqi friend here on exile, has a good job, good mates and a good life and he still cant wait until its safe to go home, why? Like I say homes home to some people I guess….just like it is to me and most people I know.
Cas has its good and points and bad points...just like this place does and every other place on the planet.
If you like living in a certain place you like living in a certain place, if you don’t you don’t. That’s about all their is too it really. When someone finds out what this massive discussion about my towns better than your town is all about let us know….it is making good reading though
Just wondering, if someone was to walk up to you, get right in your face and say 'i hate Castleford', what would you do?Dubai Cas Lad wrote:just to put a point out there to how funny this link is now and go back to the original point lol.
