Massive crowd of 1122 you really do make me laugh, Lowest gate of the season which wasnt really a home game and you use it to try an make it look like our average gate, When will you pull your head out of the northern ground and realise that the majority of RL fans actually are all for expansion and that the crusaders have the potential to do great things for RL in wales

Not at all mate , but without any away support there were obviously only the diehard cru fans there, look at your game against cas , boycotted by most cas supporters over billy liars comments and still only made 1450 ish. That tells me the hardcore home support is around that mark, obviously more come out of the woodwork for the bigger teams (like they do at most grounds). so it may have sounded like a dig after big robs tantrum, but it was just illustrating the level of support

Not wanting to start/continue WWIII, but it would be interesting to see how many fans were paying fans and how many got free tickets to the games. I totally understand the importance of the freebies to a new team/venture and I expect most of the Leeds crowd would have been comps. I truer figure would be to see ticket sales not attendances to see if there was an increase in paying interest.

That was before the franchise licensing rules were changed and agreed upon by all SL teams and also BEFORE there was any hint of Crusaders RL financial difficulties

I'm no idiot fellow, I have a degree in Economics. I understand what "book value", "net present value" and "internal rate of return" mean but I doubt you do. Advancing money ahead of when it is earned is effectively giving money away. It is generally called "a loan" for which interest payments are usually expected.

Funny that every Christmas I can have an advance of up to half my December salary if I so wish and my employer doesn't charge me interest.

Well if you look it up the changes were agreed by all teams in SL early in the offseason when the new regulations were announced. At a time in which Crusaders Rl's finances looked stable.
