I said the fact that the Crusaders don't own it means they don't have the same revenue-draining headache that Saints have (because Saints do own Knowsley Road). Well, it's a headache for our chairman anyway, who has dipped into his pocket to keep us afloat because of it.
Was just about to post that, also the Brewery field was sold to Bridgend FC and Bridgend Ravens as the football club have a lot of money in an account following the sale of their previous ground to ASDA which has to be spent by 2010 or reverts to the council. It would appear to have been a good bit of business for all parties involved i.e. the football club spend their money and get a realisable asset and Crusaders lose the overheads of running the stadium.

Exactly. That's got to help, at least until such time as Crusaders have secured additional funding through sponsorship, fanbase, etc, to either go it alone or share under different terms elsewhere, or whatever the club's long term future will be.

I meant HOME fans, can't just keep relying on away fans! Pains to say but Wire are big travellers and you only got 3k for that game!
So you need more locals through gates, if you look at Quins game then you'll see it is double!
Sorry far too early and Samuel is bleeding the club dry! Well done RFL you have completly ballsed up Welsh Rugby Legaue chance again!
Now we know why Jace van Dijk and Tony Duggan are being released. However I think you are jumping the gun here.
"Players from Super League side Celtic Crusaders are being investigated by the UK Border Agency over possible immigration offences."
They have not been found guilty of anything yet.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back! Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!
