how ya liking SL : Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:01 pm  

Not a sarcastic comment or having a dig at your club,but how are you enjoying life in SL.
Just put this season down to experiance and a learning curve for the Crusaders,look at Cas last season they were getting flogged virtually every week.
Hows RL being taken by the locals in Bridgend and the surrounding area's,just curious as RU is your national sport.
All the best very the rest of the season.

Well personally I'm enoying it dunno about others.

Um Bridgend supporters or what they claim to be supporters only go to games if we win. If that answers your question.

To clarify what Celt is saying, he means that Bridgend has a greater proportion of spectators rather than supporters.

The supporters will stick with the club through thick and thin, but the spectators only ever turn up for big matches or when we are winning and then never even make any noise between tries.

It is their right of course, but it doesn't really add to the atmosphere.
.......

Other than that, I am THOROUGHLY enjoying superleague. a win or five would be nice, but I am a patient(ish) man and can wait (with a little bit of ranting to let off steam).

The players who've been in since the beginning are firm favourites and command a lot of loyalty (as does the coach who guided us to the top flight).

The guys who've been in there supporting from the start have created a good platform of support for the rest of us to build on.

All in all it's bloody great. And when the wins come it'll be even better.
