Looking forward to meeting some of your supporters on Friday night.
There is a social club (Triplex) 200 metres from the away end.(on Knowsley road itself)
Free entrance to the club but £3 for safe parking.
Hope you can make it.
Also, we look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.
It really is a friendly weekend.
See you in the Grassmarket area on the Friday night!

How much is drink there? I'll look to have a drink there before the game.

It's a total rip off at the ground but the pubs locally are a decent price. The Black Bull tends to be one of the popular get-together spots pre-match (it's just a few yards down the road from the ground, is big and hard to miss).

I was in there last year.

I went out in Cardiff Tuesday after work and ended up paying £3.80 a pint. Needless to say I won't be in there and paying that again.

First match of the season for me , home or away, not that I like to single out players for criticism ,but Youngquest cost the Cru victory.Really enjoyable to watch and great to see a decent and vocal away support, even if its not the club I supported last season. Good to see the potential of the likes of O Hara and Withers being supported with the top level experience of Witt, Raynor,Mellars et al.Whilst I understand Noble prefers the imports rather than the youth we have ,I hope he will give Kear more game time at Full Back especially as I 've mentioned above regarding Youngquest.

The main thing is speaking to the fans both new to the Crusaders and Saints fans , the club now has the credibility we never had on or off the field last year, though I don't think this means at all that South Wales can't support a SL side in the future.

I think you'll find that once credibility is firmly established and once core support begins to solidify, there will be more chances for the Welsh guys. For most of them they aren't up to SL standard yet and for those that are, they need to be in an environment where the team is competing so as not to undermine their performance. Having Gareth Thomas around for a while will help IMO, assuming he performs anything like half decently, as it is an indicator of intent if not actual fact at present (that the side will become more Welsh). As the South Wales side establishes itself and time passes, it's quite likely that there will be more movement from south to north, allowing local South Wales youngsters to try their hand at the Scorpions.

I sincerely hope Wales will have two Superleague sides in the fullness of time but it needs to be done right next time out as a second mess up will prolly see the death of RL in Wales IMO.

PS: Although mainly Aussie at present, wasn't it nice to support a side who were seriously competing rather than the one that started off seriously competing but just couldn't maintain the pace?
