Will the Cru v Cas game @ Neath be the lowest crowd of 2010? : Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:54 pm  

Barry McKenzie will be very surprised if this fixture gets more than 2000

Tops.

Why?

Lets see.


The old Celtic Crusaders pretty much vomited in the faces of their loyal supporters by upping sticks and moving to Wrexham. Consequently now the majority of those 100 or so people now follow South Wales Scorpions. So the likelihood of those few people turning out to watch the newly named version of the club that screwed them over must be very slight.

Most people in Neath (that dont follow the SW Scorpions) support the Ospreys and therefore have no interest in league. Gareth Thomas wont be playing... so bang goes the few that would come along to watch him playing.

Given the fact Crusaders fans from Wrexham are starting to drift away already now the novelty is wearing off I cant see many travelling to South Wales.

I will be surprised if anymore than 100-150 Castleford Tigers fans bother to make the long journey from Yorkshire to South Wales on a Sunday. This fixture should have been played on a Saturday.. thereby giving people from Yorkshire to travel down on the Saturday and at least make a bit of a weekend out of it in Cardiff or Swansea.

Why oh why do clubs like Crusaders do this kind of thing?

Outta here at the end of the year Traffy.

Back to Oz for a month for Christmas then off to work the the good ol' US of A for 12 months. I can't wait either.

So... what to you reckon?

Will you blokes break the 2,000 mark?

Can't see it myself.

Not to mention thanks to a certain cry baby winger, a lot of Cas fans now hate Crusaders and refuse to go to the game.

Lol, not the best of explanations that. How about our fans behaved badly and we're sulking or it's too far.
