It made a nice change to have visiting fans who didn't spend the whole game booing the oppersition goal kicker. I hope the M62 was clear for your return home.
The officals missed a fair few things, for both sides

but they were cold and wet, poor things!!!

Have to say I was pleasantly suprised with your support too, seemed a decent enough interest in the game. Good stadium apart from the stanchions. And if you were the Crusaders fan who didn't like curry, you really should try it, we managed a cracking one before the game. As far as the officials were concerned, I just got the impression your team were a lot quicker in working out Bentham felt very generous over offside and defence moving up at the play the ball. Better kicking and fewer errors meant you murdered us for territory in the second half, our lads just ended up looking tired.

As for the m62, an even worse set of officials closed that and the alternative route, but I wont hold that against you.

Thats me, I just happen to prefer chilli.


Sorry your view was obstructed but the roof did come in handy last night.

I'll second that, much better set up then i was expecting and the fans seem to be getting into RL. Trinity just lack the spark in attack, smith did nothing and the Crusaders just wanted it more and played very well in second 40.

Got tipped off by a Cas fan about the M62 and stayed on the M56 thankfully (cas fan do some times come in handy).

I agree seems a much better set up than the previous venture in South Wales. A good turnout and a decent atmosphere just a shame about the result.

I liked the result.

Don't like the M62 on a friday night, was 1.00 when we got home, dreadful journey both ways. Perhaps a move to a day time kick off would encourage more fans to attend.

Friday night fixtures seems a strange choice for a new team relying on away fans to make up the numbers. When we travelled to Hull on a Friday night I didn't get home till 1.45am. Coach made it to Wrexham for 1am and then another 45 miles in the car to get home. Useless fixture for families with young children or an early start in the morning.

Agree with you Boost, Friday nights are a nightmare for fans when games are not local derbies. The traditional style of Sunday afternoon always worked well but sadly TV and clubs perceptions of better timings/clashes with shared tenants make this a less common occurrence.

We just boo Danny Tickle as he spends 5 minutes lining a kick up when Hull are winning.

Good stuff. Hopefully this will see the end of the constant threads on here attempting to pick fault with everything Crusaders do.

how many wakey fans made the trip to wrexham and not trolling

Don't bet on it

I doubt it, since the majority of posters don't "pick fault with everything Crusaders do"; rather, they point out their incredulity that a wandering team that has no fans and adds little value to the competition is likely to be retained in SL, at the expense of a heartland club with over 100 years of history, a healthy following and a strong production line of local talent.

A few people saying their match-day experience was ok is hardly likely to change that.

Well said that man!

I would say a little over 100 by the look it it.

Yes it is going to be harsh if we get the boot but I don’t see how that is the fault of the Crusaders they don’t make the rules or take the decisions, the beef stops with the RFL.

I hope with all my heart we keep or superleague status and we can all see the progress we’ve made this year with the feel good factor but lets not get all bitter and twisted with teams who make the cut.

Who said it was?

Out of interest where were you sat?

There was a few more than that, i would guess it was 3-400. There were deffo more Wakey fans there last night than we took to saints IMO.

Nearer 500 than 100!!

I'll go with that, your shirts blended in well with blue seats so it was hard to judge.

I think around 400. Decent ground especially the new stand (opposite where the Wakey fans were)
Thought we were a bit quiet, although we also seemed spread out.
M62 on the way back was an absolute 'mare, stiill knackered.

In the Mold road (green king) stand opposite where the visiting fans were. Obviously there could have been fans in other parts of the ground. But that block would hold about 200 if full (which it wasn't) if there were 400 plus visiting and the stand behind the goal would have been used.
