Which schools had thousands of free tickets? I know several of the local schools gave out Discount vouchers (£8 adult £4 children), but I don't know of any "free" tickets.

Regardless of how it is achieved, the buzz of a sell-out should hopefully set a self perpetuating demand to go and see the new venture in Wrexham. Can’t believe some supporters are trying to knock this landmark with the same old ‘we’d get 8000 if we ere in SL’ type comments. Widnes are perhaps the only ones who could hit 10K.

Widnes got over 8000 in the championship game against salford,but their was free tickets.Yes widnes could get near 10,000 if was in superleague.They averaged 7000 in a half decent superleague season and got nearly 10,000 against saints in a paid game, with no freebies.Unfortunanetly widnes never got in the top 6 to attract more fans as was always struggling.Anyway hope it goes well for celtic, even though i am a gutted widnes fan.Maybe if we get in superleague it be another derby game like wire,saints and wigan.

Goon, you want me to NAME them? And you KNOWING I'm from the place you pinched your club from.
Kevin Ellis, a club employee, stated in his local (local HERE not THERE) newspaper column that it should be a well attended game because thousands of free tickets were given out to schools.

Surely you read the Glamorgan Gazette?

To be fair, there doesn't look to be thousands of children at Wrexham!

Fantastic attendance, hope you can keep it up!

Belive everything you read in the newspaper? More fool you!

Definately not thousands of schoolchilden. The number of children was probably in the hundreds not thousands.

Get your coat mate, your facts aren't really fizzing to well!

But it was in the Glamorgan Gazette. [sizeTHE GLAMORGAN GAZETTE![/size What more proof do you need?

I hope it's open when Hull and Rovers games are on

]
cos kr bring 1,000,000+ fans to every game.

Very well done on getting 10k on a friday nite and live on sky, i really hope it works in wrexham i was a bit spectacle before when you moved up to north wales but if you get over 6000 each game it will deemed a sucess you should get plenty of away suppport as its on most peoples doorsteps and not 5 hours on a bus just hope the locals stick with you.

Why is it that even though the Crusaders get a great crowd, many people on here still try to criticise them?

I doubt any Championship club would get that crowd against Leeds, even a few Superleague clubs cant get that figure. Be happy that they got a good crowd, they never managed anywhere near that last year.

could be summed up in three words really
anger
fear
jealousy

J.C.

Anger. Just anger. The Moss stole my club and moved it up North.

It looks like it might, MIGHT prove a success with a large crowd (that DID contain thousands of kids - but should not be diminished as a result of that) like the one against Leeds. It looks like it might go on to bigger and better things.

But it is STILL a club he stole. To buy the club and let it play in its natural home is one thing. To up sticks, say f u c k you to the supporters that were loyal for the previous 5 years and f u c k off 150 miles away is moral theft if it is not legal theft.

So just anger. Possibly some hatred as well.

Not fear. Why would I "fear" the Wrexham Crusaders? I've been abandoned by "my" club. What more can these new pretenders do?

Not jealousy. I don't envy the Wrexham Crusaders supporters because I detest their club. Why would I be jealous about not being involved in what I detest.

Purely anger.

I won't lie. I hope they collapse. I hope that just for once in an arbitrary, amoral universe the dirty dealers get just what they deserve. I am realistic enough to know that there is no such thing as justice (natural or otherwise). But I still hope for it.

SCREW the Wrexham Crusaders.
