Orginally living in the south it was all Union , but I never really got into Rugby until I moved to Colwyn bay and went to school with mates who followed Wigan, Widnes and Saints. After being taken to one game in the late 1990s with a mate I was hooked! having returned south , said mates now follow the Cru's progress with interest and were at the grand final and Leeds match and plan to do more when their 'wives' are playing away.
Few people in North Wales care about Rugby Union unless the national team are playing ,they don't have a professional team that near either and Wrexham was the original home of the Welsh Northern Union in 1907. By rights Wales should be a Rugby league hotbed but for historical intervention
The Rhyl coasters has a good side currently and more people coming across the boarder have spread the gospel of RL.
The main problem in wales is the gap between North and South . its bigger than Northern/Southern england in terms of access. This makes it hard for those living up north to follow something in the south even though the people are some of the most patriotic around.
The cru need to establish themselves in bridgend and the M4 corridor but
they will play atleast once in Wrexham next season and do what they can to encourage the gogs to get behind them.
