My first trip to the Racecourse in 9 years, see some things has changed in getting the structures up to scratch. Good crowd considering the date and KO time and the Wire fans made plenty of noise, good acoustics with the angled roof in the Away stand there. Atmosphere was OK the announcer did the best to gee up the crowd if a bit unoriginal, we had a loud hardcore set of fans in South Wales with a half decent repertoire of songs. Surprised to be singing the National Anthem before a SL match, is that a regular occurrence?? Not the best quality in terms of play and to lose both two influential play makers in Thomas and Withers before the match even started really didn't help matters. What Thackeray is useful for is anyone's guess at the moment.The main Press area was very exposed to the spitting rain and gale passing through which wasn't helpful when trying to compile a match report either.
All in all though a good experience and Im glad the people up there are taking to League as I thought North Wales would never be able to support a professional top level side in any sport.

There were a fair few Wire fans. Probably outnumbered Cru fans. 3k Wires easily top block was full with a couple of hundred on either side. Very vocal too. You won't see a bigger number at there this season.
We have the best away following in the league. FACT.

I agree.
I went to watch Celtic v Leeds Rhinos at Rodney Parade last year.
I cant work out which was my favourite Crusaders song.
'Cru Cru Crusaders' (repeated about 7 times)
or maybe it was 'Sheep sheep sheep shaggers' (repeated about 9 times)
Did it take the Crusaders fans long to think those up?? They are works of art arent they.
Maybe when Carol Anne Duffy retires as Poet Laureate you could all apply for the job?

Were you actually there Barry?
We didn't sing Cru Cru Crusaders until this season so you're way off the mark if you heard it at Rodney Parade.
You've got a cheek to have a go at any British atmosphere when your average NRL ground has the atmosphere of a village fete. Not a very large village fete either.

Well... 60 actually.
