Can't see it catching on.

Not that we're too grumpy to laugh at ourselves once in a while.

The best one I've heard our lot sing was 'Visa's for Saders' (to the tune of viva las vegas) at the beginning of the season when our players were stuck out in Oz.

Ah well here's to the new season.

So am I getting this right, or am I way off the mark here.
A few will (initially at least), make the journey to watch a SL club called crusaders, playing in Wrexham??

Bridgend and Neath have too much rivalry for one to support another and as such not many from the Bridgend base will watch a game in Neath - which I'm led to believe is not just a Union stronghold, it's also vehemently anti-league???

I would like to have thought that those new to League would take the opportunity to support a South Welsh club to call their own. Is this viable???

I ll will try to watch a couple of games in Wrexham. But the majority of games i will be watching will be in Neath.

I'll be lobbing the train times up on our website so people can get their tickets for Wrexham and away games as soon as possible.

Very excited about the new South Wales team and hopefully take in some away games on Crusaders free weeks or if our away games allow an overnight stop up north.

Is there a direct train?

Surely the club could negotiate a deal with a provider on this line to provide cheap travel to/from home games. Potentially could be a big money spinner given the time spent on the train.

Yes it is a direct train.

I'll look into it.

Judging by the scorpions forum (not the rl fans one) it seem many will be happy to support the new team at neath, quite a few crusaders fans have siad they will watch both, so hopefully the new team will be a success. Apparently they have budgeted for a worst case of gates of 200, but hope to get 700.

Wish we were playing your lot on boxing day rotheram, cant beat the atmosphere of a cas and fev game.
