| Not Crusaders fault about the journey although I do agree, left for work at 7.30a.m. and got in the house at 12.30a.m. Can't the RFL organise fixtures in a supporter friendly way i.e. Friday night kick off's againsd Warrnington/Saints. Another gripe, the matchday experience is not that cracking. We parked in Wrexham University's car park and went to the nearest turnstile which said £17 admission only to be told we needed to purchase a ticket first from the club shop (which has very little to but in it) but he couldn't tell us where this was. In the ground the catering facilities are poor, the only thing I could buy, as a veggie, was a packet of crisps!
Thought the crowd was ok bit dont't believe over 3000 were there.
Our ground may be outdated but with the owners in place I do believe the matchday experience is much better. Crusaders are a "new team" with lots to learn but I'm sure we will be dumped in the interests of expansion.

| Quote bren2k="bren2k"I doubt it, since the majority of posters don't "pick fault with everything Crusaders do"; rather, they point out their incredulity that a wandering team that has no fans and adds little value to the competition is likely to be retained in SL, at the expense of a heartland club with over 100 years of history, a healthy following and a strong production line of local talent.
A few people saying their match-day experience was ok is hardly likely to change that.'"
the place is a bit of a joke to get in though, was ticket only and only 1/10th full, got offered some kids tickets outside for a fiver (they give these away to school and college kids every week apparently, one kid had about 30 of em, nice bit of pocket money if he sold any) then when asking where to purchase tickets a steward/security guy at the clubhouse entrance told us he would take £20 and let us in without tickets another nice little earner...

Surely a better earner if you offer to let people in for less than the actual admission price?
Quote They Call Me Trinity="Brasshat"In the Mold road (green king) stand opposite where the visiting fans were. Obviously there could have been fans in other parts of the ground. But that block would hold about 200 if full (which it wasn't) if there were 400 plus visiting and the stand behind the goal would have been used.'"
Fair play then you were in a better place to judge than me. We watched the second half down the other end and there seemed to be a few Wakey fans scattered all over.

As a veggie what else do you normally get at a rugby ground? Chips? Peas? Hardly a wide range I would imagine!

You are the first person to question the crowd what makes you think there wasn't 3,000+ there? Very difficult to tell given we were all sat in the stand where the majority of supporters were and most Wakey fans stayed at one end for the whole game. We moved at half time and struggled to get a seat down the other end.

It's Crusaders so anything good that happens is either a lie or a result of some sort of dodgy activity that gives them an unfair advantage.

| Perhaps someone should have a word with Glover and let him know there are franchise points available for vegetarian cuisine. Who knows, quorn burgers could add another thousand on the gate at Belle Vue.

| To be fair I can only get chips, I don't ususally get them as it doesn't take 3 hours to get to the ground and I'm not hungry.. I know people on here are taking the mick with me but when you've not eaten since 1p.m. and have to go straight from work it would be nice to get something warm. I think there was a burger van outside the ground but as we arrived quite late we wanted to get straight in. Coffee was vey good by the way.

I've never eaten a burger at BV but i would not have thought they contained any meat at all, just slop.

Can't speak for others, but my mick taking isn't about the vegetarianism. My point is that you've clearly been to grounds before and should anticipate the lack of choice, particularly as you have a restricted diet of your own choosing. I'd rather not eat what's served in stadia, so on Friday, having not eaten since 12.30pm myself and having gone straight from work, I did my best to get there in time for a curry beforehand. Had I not been able to, I'd have taken food myself, gone without, or as a last resort put up with what was inside the ground, without moaning that the for-profit catering in the ground was only aimed at what the mass market eat.
