Just under a 1000 was what the man in the red ticket booth said. That wasn't counting those that bought from the club.

The average crowd is currently 6,842! That's higher than Castleford, higher than Wakefield and higher than Salford. With Wigan, Warrington and St Helens (their three nearest clubs) still to visit Wrexham thats very encouraging in my view.

would've said 500 at most, what is a little more concerning is that we had about 2k less than Catalans. Mind you Hudds was our lowest crowd last year with just under 2k so we've doubled it at least.

Considering Hudds didn;t have much more than 4,000 home fans for the CC cup game against HKR I don;t see what the fear is? They are doing much better than most predicted, including me.

If we based everything on Challenge Cup attendances then we might as well become an amateur sport in an instant!

Sorry, can't believe that Huddersfield would take 1000 fans anywhere.

they didnt

rlrl


count them then.

I think Crusaders have done really well so far, if they can average around 5000 and not finish in the bottom two, they have done a hell of a lot better than anyone thought. Saying this, I also think that the Challenge Cup tie against Catalans should be marketed, even if they make a loss financially on the day, I think the national coverage with a win in front of a big crowd will do the club a world of good in the long run.

and on the BBC.

That's what I mean, with it being on national telly, prospective sponsors, potential fans and investors will be watching. They have to take this opportunity, they might not get another like this for a while. Hope they get 12000 and win with a last minute try, get people talking.

Blatantly photoshopped!

Beat Catalans, home draw against one of the championship clubs, win that and they're in the semis and in a with a shout of Wembley. Wrexham FC took 20k+ to Wembley for the LDV Vans trophy a few years back. A Wembley appearance would probably do more for the club than it did for Sheffield, London or Catalans.
