Many thanks (my little cottage burning friends) for your hospitality yesterday and good luck for the rest of the season. You will get off the mark soon (please beat Wigan).

glad you enjoyed yourselves, you guys added a lot to the game yesterday and a trip to the stoop will be my only away game this season! Looking forward to it.

I thought the quins outshouted and outplayed the crusaders yesterday. After what I thought was the worst performance this season, and I thought the Huddersfield one was bad, I have cancelled all my away trips for the rest of the season. I am only watching home games from now on and that is because I have a season ticket. Some of the crusaders players don't look as if they give a damn about winning or losing which makes it all the harder for the ones that do. There are players there that are simply not good enough. How long is Ste Tyrer going to stay if all he is doing is playing reserve team games? He can do that at Saint Helens. You have Ballard who was released at the end of last season and then brought back. With a total lack of pace in the team when is he going to get a game? Even Jace on his comeback was out of touch with the game and he went off injured at the end again. On the last 2 performances even I can't see us winning a game this season now. We are getting left behind at the bottom and are starting to look like fish out of water. Lets start dropping some of these players and even start giving some of the reserves a chance as they cannot do any worse at this time.

It was fantastic to be at Brewery Field yesterday. The welcome we got from your supporters in the bar after the game was excellent. We share many things in common - supporting the only two non Northern teams in Super League, so we have to stick together.

Best of luck for the rest of the season - the results will come in time. Keep the faith, and I look forward to meeting up with those of you I chatted to after the game yesterday at The Stoop later in the season.

well im adding some more away trips to the quins one now in reponse to your cancelling yours. not sure which ones but the last thing that will turn things round is fans abandoning the team. Its a tough league and we are having a baptism of fire but the club needs more support in times like these. Crusaders til i die!

Good for you!
Believe me, you will get there in the end.
As for the poster cancelling his away trips, you really should come to the Stoop....us non-northern clubs need to stick together.
All of the fans I met yesterday were very welcoming and I will be back in bridgend again next year......even if "your prince is really English"

Unfortunately the welcome was not all hearts and flowers.....I was stood in the main group of Quins fans on the terrace and ended up having to mop SPIT off me......as the Crusaders `fans` on the gantry above were SPITTING on the Quins fans below. I made an official complaint to a nearby steward who got security involved......absolutely F`in disgusting and your supporters involved should be ashamed of themselves, it totally ruined my day.

I have been a long term Quins/sports fan and have never ever experienced that at any other sport or stadium.......and I used to be a Millwall supporter!!!

It`s not the first time I have visited your ground, never had a problem before, but needless to say I will not be coming back. Absolutely F`in disgraceful.

It wasn't pleasant. What puzzled me was the 4 coppers stood just behind us didn't do anything about it? If there were a couple of offenders, then they should have been ejected from the ground, but all I could see was that a steward was placed beside us looking up at the gantry to make sure they didn't do it again.
Fully appreciate UTS saying he won't be back (I doubt I would have kept as calm as he did to be honest).

I would like to apoligize on behalf of the club and the supporters for the few mindless idiots that were doing this to the quins fans.

Well said.

The fella has a go at the team for not trying then says he is doing exactly the same with regards to his support. Strange.

Great day Yesterday and the local pubs serve a crackin pint or two. See you next year

it made me laugh that you guys seemed to be under the impression that the welsh give a toss about charlie boy. Besides he's really a greek-german cross, as any fule knos. Changing the family name from saxe-gothburg to windsor never fooled me!

Great day but your pint 'glasses' are too top heavy and too squidgy.

i thought he was german?

I hope that win does come soon



I can see that some people are losing faith! Not going to happen with me I can tell you that!

to the author of the above,
when you have spent as much as I have watching the crusaders away then say something, as a one day wonder which the main supporters are, it costs you next to sod all to go away. I pay about £250 to go to all away games. More than you probably pay for the season. Anyway, what I do in respose to watching crap is my business. I am a Bradford fan first and crusaders second and therefore I will say what is on my mind not what may offend anyone at the club like the official web site. If you want your opinion then tell the truth and not keep your head in the sand like an ostrich.

Jeez you are confused. Im only allowed your gracious permission to have an opinion if i say whatever you decide is 'the truth'? yeah i think ill express an opinion when i want to and in anyway i decide. err [i"I will say what is on my mind not what may offend anyone at the club like the official web site."[/i I assume you mean you dont care if it offends the club but err you expect the official website to do what? Wow an official website that doesnt offend the club. How shocking and unique that is.
mate i never told you what to do or what to think. Spending money doesnt give you any more rights to an opnion then anyone else. You do what you like i couldnt care less. i'll support my club the best i can i dont really care what people who run away as soon as tough times come round...

Janner, didn't you realise that travelling fans are "gold standard members"? Heroes (I'll say it again in caps : HEROES) like nc are the ONLY people whose opinions matter and the rest of us fairweather fans who have work and family commitments should hang our heads in shame and bow at the feet of these wonderful men and women!

ALL HAIL NC!

(Seriously though, most of our travelling support are not knobs like this one)

I had a good day out and Brains is a lovely pint...

£250 to go to all the away games really and how exactly do you get the travel so cheap? of course you are also working on the bare cost of travel and tickets etc. what about the opperutnity costs to us fair weather supporters. i mean should i come to a saturday game i have to miss a shift at work losing the nights pay. as mentioned on the supporters forum by firefly chosing to spend out money on other priorities is not a crime there is more to life than rugby

Just like to say, I'm impressed with the way your club appear to have dealt with the spitting incident & to wish your club all the best for the future.
I had a great day out on Monday & enjoyed the banter with your fans, so will definately be coming back.
Keep the faith, I'm sure that win is not far away!!

To what I thought would be the 'rar rar clap clap' type of fans like in Union they made a hell of a lot of noise and brought a great following down here to South Wales, and with the action on the pitch in the second half kept the home fans largely subdued ! I can only apologise for the few 'Chav's' that decided to turn up out of curiousity as they are certainly not regular 'fans' of this club or behind what we are trying to achieve here.

I look forward to our visit to the Stoop that we should have had before the season started by which hopefully we will have points on the board.

Ymlaen Y Cru!

fair points and more then that as an agency worker i have knocked back shifts offered to me to come and support the crusaders. As it happens if i had been offered a shift the bank holiday just gone i would have got double time, but even offered i would have knocked it back. Doesnt make me a better fan then anyone else and its my choice. I might not be be able to do that later in the season but i have already bought my season ticket and in the end we all do what we can. The bloke who buys his son a shirt but cant afford to travel to more then a few games a season is just as much of a fan as anyone else in my honest opinion.

It's worth getting players in to share with the reserves, even if they don't play first team.
It could be worth blooding the reserves so that they have a head start next year - following the Cas model. The problem is that Cas has a great tradition of developing players, it's all new to you.

Interesting quotes here nc, unless there are two of you do you go to the games or not?
Question for you, I've been to two away games so far and got another three booked so will pay more than £250 for the missus, son and myself to go. Does that make me a better fan? No, just fortunate enough to do nothing else other than have a job that pays well which after paying the bills means I can watch some games away.
Makes me no better than someone who gets to as many games as they can.
Firefly, if I manage any others will I get a golden jersey with super fan on the back? lol
