Clear blue skies and a heady 16oC predicted

I'd make it Reus. Most pubs will be shut in Salou at this time of year.

Stayed in both in the past , bit of business in Mora d Ebre

Nice part of the world, very quiet. Wrong time of year but the beaches round there are excellent and only about 10 miles away from Móra d'Ebre.

, 10 miles , I must be driving the wrong way then , it takes me about 30 minutes drive

best of luck crusaders

hopefully leeds dont belt you and you can retain many of these new fans.

the ground looks v.tidy too

the game as a whole will benefit greatly if it works out

Indeed, hopefully a win too. I'm sure Leeds fans won't mind taking a hit to get the best possible start to the new venture in Wrexham. After all Wigan did it for Catalan.

AFL to help grow its expansion teams allows them to spend more on players than the rest.

seriously giving the crusaders leeds first up last year and this year isnt doing them favours.

it should be an easier team imo.

the first game will always get a good crowd. to give them a team which could embarrass them could wreck their season and any new fans.

hope its close

An easier team such as Quins or Salford? I doubt they'd have sold out against either of those.

id rather they got 6000 and won the game, or go close than get 10,000 and get belted

6,000?! Not a chance they'd get that.

Against Salford or Quins it would be 3,000 max (possibly 2.000) and still no guarantee they'd win or even come close.
