RL in Wrexham : Tue Aug 03, 2010 5:34 pm  

This is a genuine question. Do the people in Wrexham care what happens to Crusaders? Is there a local paper/radio station that covers the games? And do the people talk about RL and the kids play RL at school? I'd like to think so.

Also, which international are you getting in Wrexham in the Euros? I'm definately making it a priority to go to that game.

I am one person that does care about the crusaders and am loving them being here in wrexham and there are alot of other people that care and i think if done right the crusaders could be good. The problem is there is a few people in wrexham that are against us and mainly are wrexham football fans just very insecure and will do anything to bring the crusaders down.

Hey fellow Leyther there are a lot of hard core Crusaders supporters who are frustrated at the poor marketing coming out of Wrexham. The 2000 or so die hards are as passionate and enthusiastic as us Leythers at getting behind the team - the people who came earlier in the season are missing a treat. Why don't they come now? Doesn't make sense. Next season there should be a regular match day and kick-off time with regular home games - there have been spells of 3 and 4 weeks without a game here. No momentum.

The international at Wrexham is one of the warm up friendlies against Italy - day after the Super League Grand Final. The full international in the Euros is in Neath in October.

Gutted, I wanted to go to a European Cup game if there was one at Wrexham. I don't know why the Wrexham FC fans are so against them, they nearly went pop a few years ago and having two clubs share the ground for 12 months of the year can only help them. It's not like the Stockport County/Sale Sharksn debacle.

The leyther and cru forever echo the situation that existed down here just replace the words 'Wrexham' for 'Bridgend' and 'football' for 'RU'.

I think you may find that the football team are becoming the junior tenants at the Racecourse ground...............

I've got nothing against them. Soccerball's nowhere near as good as League but nowhere near as bad as Yawnion.

I live down the road in Chirk and you see a few Crusaders jerseys knocking about. Not alot of marketing as has been said previously.

That's good to hear. Places like Chirk (nice place, cracking golf course!) should be a target of Crusaders, maybe a free shuttle bus before every home game would be an idea?

With the poor attandances for the games in South Wales recently I can't see Crusaders continuing to play any matches in that part of the Principality.

A shame for the fans of that area who did take to the game in the Celtic era.
