The ticket sales for the Leeds game to date looks to be around the 6,500 mark with a sell out looking on the cards.
Put a negative spin on that flat cappers.

Good to hear. I'd rather be hearing how they plan to concede less than 70 against Leeds however.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Genuinely hope you get a sell out , much as I disagree with how thing have been done , I dont want to see any RL club suffer , there is room for all of us |

Its completely meaningless. Broncos once drew 8k at Charlton. Quins drew 8k for their first game. This game is the easiest sell they will ever have. First game of the year against the biggest RL team in the country for the first game in a new town and stadium. If they draw 6k averages ill be impressed. And they might then just about break even.

If they can keep delivering "positive news" then I'll change my mind about them.
They've got a better coaching set-up than previously and they've recruited better than I thought possible given the circumstances.
The new owners have put more effort into marketing the club than I thought they would. The 10,000 fans rocking the Racecourse doesn't seem quite so stupid right now.
I think it comes down how the new team perform. If they perform well then they might well have a future. |

As you pointed out, they have not exactly had an ideal preparation or recruiting opportunities. I can imagine it will take at least just over a season to start firing on all cylinders, because then they get a better opportunity to recruit etc. |

Opening game of the season.
New club playing the current champions
New stadium
People curious to see what Wrexham is like (prepare to be disappointed!)
Crowds will be good at first but after the usual 40 or 50 point whippings and when people realise what Wrexham is like it will be back to the Celtic Crusaders crowds of 2 and 3K |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

You can’t knock that. Hopefully many of those will be locals, who’ll see a great game of RL, and come back for more.  |

|  The ticket sales news is brilliant. Just hope the Crusaders squad can give Leeds a game, they haven't had the best preperation to say the least, I'm sure Nobby will at least have em fired up but I fear the game is a month too early for the Crusaders, still hope I'm wrong. |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |
