Visitd Bridgend for the first time yesterday and have come back with a much better impression of having RL teams in Wales than before I arrived. I have been one of the biggest critics of Celtic's rise to SL and still feel that you should have done another few years in the National Leagues, but there it is....all of that is not the fans fault and you have now got to make the most of the opportunity you have been given. I hope you can attract more fans when you move to Newport and I will definately be coming back down next season, I now understand why we should get behind RL in Wales. Good luck for next season!

Cheers, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the visit and hopefully we'll be putting a better show on in every department next year.

thanks mate, nice to hear from someone with an open mind. glad you had a nice trip and i think you will enjoy coming to newport next year. hopefully your teams visit will get the crowd it deserves. personally of the all teams we should be learning from huddersfield is top of the list, the way you guys have stuck by your team and turned things round is inspiring. good luck in the play offs.

I went to the Celtic game yesterday and want to say what a great set of fans you have.

I talked to a good few and offered good luck for next season. It is not quantity that counts but quality and your fans were a credit to the team.

I talked to 4 blokes from Leith who were great and evne the drunks behind the posts were a laugh.

Good luck for next year. definitely the friendliest fans i have found in SL.

Yes nice to catch up with Vicky and the gang had a great weekend, regroup and see you next season You are as passionate about rugby league as any fans i have met even in the adversity you are having. GOOD LUCK


Welsh Git was a bit poorly this morning

yh was a brilliant experience going to celtic nice little place bridgend

cant wait to go next season to the new home

hopefully u will get brian noble no offence to ur coach now hu is a good coach hopefully if noble does go he will keep him as part of the coaching staff

but u should get some decent players with noble and start to build into a playoff challenging team just like catalan

good luck with your development hope to come to wales for many years to come

had a good day on saturday and met some nice, friendly passionate people who deserve a succesful RL team in wales.
shame about the crowd from a crusdaders POV,but im sure ocne the club gets sorted they will come.

good luck from me see you next year

yechid da!

Glad to see you all enjoyed. With regards the crowd, a few petty idiots dragged us down on Saturday by cheering for Hudds and booing our players, so apologies for them. That crowd was by far our worst this season, and mainly because the Bridgend media have deserted us since we announced our temporary move to Newport. A few of the s claim they don't watch the club because Leighton Samuel owns us, but the same people still don't go to watch Bridgend Ravens Union team despite Samuel not owning them for 5 years. [/rant]

Bring on the move to Newport.

interesting.
i was chatting to a couple of lads at the riverside tavern after the game, and they said they wouldn't be going to newport because it was a bridgend club,i pointed out that surely its a welsh club??
but i guess some people would rather see the club stay at the brewery and not try and move on.

had a great weekend in wales , everybody very friendly and interested in why we were there , had two great nights , celtic fans were very good to us , defo be going next year , anyone going should make a long weekend of it , beer not bad , brains beer ?? strange name , good ale

you sould not even be in the league get widnes or halifax in

Why? We beat them both in NL1.

And don't give me that illegal player knackers.

They were "illegal" in 2007 and have been disproportionately punished for that.

In 2008, when we beat BOTH Widnes and Halifax in the league, they were legal.

Did you not enjoy the visit then, the posters on here seem to wish us well etc.?

Would also be nice if you backed up your statements with a bit of reason. Will be interesting to read your response.





























BTW no response will back up my view that you're a muppet!
