Firstly you shouldn't believe everything you read. The present capacity is less than 10,500 anyway.

Regarding the turn-out, I was expecting around 7,000 - 8,000 myself, so, yes I was a tad disappointed. I guess that the beautiful weekend weather didn't help matters. That afternoon the supermarkets did a roaring trade selling barbecue food etc. and on my way into town you could smell barbecue smoke in the air. I wouldn't be at all surprised if many people who had intended to pay on the day decided to chill out with a few beers in the garden.

Without wanting to make excuses, you have to remember that many Crusaders home fans are pretty new to rugby league, so the tradition of turning out come rain or shine etc. etc. hasn't taken a grip yet. With luck, the numbers should hover around the 7,000+ for the rest of the season.

Behave will you, to be fair the vast majority of Widnes fans have moved on. Bazza is just a wind up merchant and certainly not a Widnes fan.

I thought it was a decent crowd. It was all ticket though, had you been able to pay on the gate it would of been 7k +

We brought over 2.5k so not a bad effort from home fans of a NEW club.

Relative to how long they have been going, surely they have the best attendances in super league?

2.5k wasn't that many from wigan ers stand wasn't that full say about just over 2k from wigan.bloody good atmosphere wigan fans did there bit and i think we did ours.
sl has really going down a storm and nice to have some rl in wales.beeter than union see you next year pie eaters.can we loan the feka from you

AND SAM TOMKINS!

Refer Bazza to the crowds at his love that are the Sharkies-Worst in NRL
