Quote: TURFEDOUT "Depends on your view of "completely new to the area"

Three pro clubs and numerous amateur clubs within 30 miles.'"


They're a little thurther than 30 miles, about 32, 34 and 39 miles I think icon_wink.gif but your right there are a lot of Saints, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes fans etc in the North Wales. There are a few of them who have converted to a Cru supporter instead, but its mostly new spectators in North Wales really, me being one of them.

Last season it was great to see the number of people getting involved with Rugby League. I know this season's attendances have been fairly poor, but as we've mentioned above, them things haven't helped at all. I'm sure with an improved team, which is expected and a change to Sunday games, it'll see last seasons gates come back and possibly higher.

it wasnt that long ago teams like huddersfield were getting 3k ect and look how they have progressed now if the crusaders were still getting just over 3k after 20 years with all the foundations and structures in place then that woudnt be good enough but the cru are less then 2 years in wrexham and have already have a average of about 4k and when you consider this season results daft things that have been mentioned and the of field stuff i think that amazing.

ive already said this before but i feel with the new tv deal id like to see the crusaders and quins get an extra 450k each with the 12 other super league clubs getting 50k extra each.

To say "3 pro clubs within 30 miles " misunderstands the Welsh psyche. While it is true that Welsh players coming over from Union to League has attracted some fans to watch north west clubs there is no way that Welsh people are going to follow an English club on mass. It would be like trying to get Wrexham football fans to watch Chester. Rightly or wrongly the border makes a difference. If we are going to build Welsh rugby we need a super league club in Wales. People from all over Wales are happy enough to travel to Wrexham to watch a Welsh team but if it was moved 10 miles over the border no one would come. I don't think a lot of people in the heartland areas understand this because they don't understand what it is to be Welsh.
Sorry Tamagrace and Kinleycat but I can't see Wakefield beating us in to weeks time or Quins the following week so I can't see us finishing bottom. If you have seen us this season you would know we are a much better team than our position suggests.

Perhaps you need to change your coach then.
