Im a season ticket holder and I can tell you there were no 'freebies' for me as you put it. There were 5,597 RUGBY LEAGUE FANS in Newport yesterday and soon to be many more when we sort ourselves out off the field. Im really looking forward to next year , we'll have a few points to prove and Im sure we will.....

I was there and enjoyed the experienece.

The bottom line is that the club has got to succeed. Get a half-decent off-season with some new faces and put behind the problems of work permits etc.

Everyone moaned when they let the Catalans in and they were a soft-touch in their first season, but bounced back the following year and it wasn't long after that before they were heading for Wembley.

Hopefully, Celtic will do the same. South Wales was a refreshing place for me to go, to find people with interest in your team and how the game is played without the thousands of years of pit village ingrained bitterness you can get up north.

Since we've never been there this year, can you play the Leeds game on-the-road at Bridgend next season ?

If it was free entrance why did we have to pay to enter the ground?. Only freebees were to season ticket holders. I feel ashamed at times to call myself a notherner when I see such comments of abuse on the boards. I must go to different matches to everyone else because I don't get free tickets. Incidently over 3 thousand attended for the Quins.

A lot of Newport Gwent Dragons supporters were given free tickets.

We were sitting talking with a few of them.

They said they would not be back for another RL fixture

LOL Barry - youve had a bad day what with Ponting, Hussey &Co.

Newport Draons are poor so dont suggest that the Crusaders will be brought down to their level.

Ive been talking to other fans who went for the first time and they will be back for more RL next season. They enjoyed the flowing movement.

Your posts have two things in common in your continued vitriol against CC. Grapes and Sour are the key words.
