brewery field : Wed May 06, 2009 10:45 am  

I was just thinking how viable the brewery field is going to be if the crowds start to fall due to the poor on field performances at the moment. What with the Bridgend Ravens being relegated to DIVISION 1, I can only see a handful of people turning up to see them next season and therefore takings taking a nosedive for the owners. It is a bad time when anyone gets relegated but lately they have had half of the team coming from the Ospreys in order to get them up the table This has only disrupted the team from what I can see. You can look on other web sites to see though that there is not a lot of sympathy with the ravens from any other clubs in the WPL. They always seemed to lack support.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A TREND METHINKS WITH RAVENS AND CRUSADERS AWAY SUPPORT.

Crusaders in a European Super League and Bridgend Ravens in a national, mainly semi pro league. No comparison.

Crusaders will build. I'll be there to see it and so will the die hards.

If people don't like it they can go and be a plastic fan of Leeds, Wire or go follow glory elsewhere.

Well 2 promotions, having a sugar daddy of a chairman who can bring any player you wish too! I'd say its been pretty easy for you so far!

People seem to look for an ulterior motive with every post. The post was do people think it will be viable? Crusaders fanbase may improve but with the relegated Ravens fans dropping off, the ownership of the Brewery Field may turn out to be a bit of a white elephant for the new owners. (Maybe Leighton can buy it bak at a profit.)
The whole post had nothing to do with whether anyone supported Leeds, Warrington oir anyone else. And I ask as an old Bradford fan of many more years than I care to remember.

Bradford fan ay? Sure you don't support Leeds?

Anyway, let's keep it rugby league.

If we have a home I don't care who has bought it to be fair.
