I suspect the fact that it's a borrowed pitch used regularly by three other clubs who are all in season at the moment (Neath RFC, Neath AFC, South Wales Scorpions) might have had something to do with it. It was used for football last Saturday, RL last Sunday and union Tuesday, with the union team due at home again tomorrow.
I feel sorry for the hardy few who made a wasted journey and spent money on overnight accommodation. Freak weather can lead to a postponement in many circumstances, but had I travelled I'd be livid about using up a day's annual leave because the game was brought forward to a working day at short notice. My contact in Wrexham tells me it was Brian Noble who instigated this and Quins RL agreed to it! After the fiasco in Perpignan last year (as well as the unexpected Sky-jacking of Hull KR away for Friday night coverage) you'd think our club might take the travelling supporters into account whan agreeing to something like this. Assuming this is accurate I'm very disappointed the club didn't have the decency to tell Crusaders "sorry, you've left it too late, it's going to screw our travelling supporters to switch the date now". It probably suited our coach and players to bring it forward and have an extra day's rest before Hull KR at home, but without supporters who pay to watch it you don't have professional sport and players/coaches shouldn't be allowed to influence decisions like this at our expense.
