Oh.. it's one of these 'I have no case to argue so ill call him a troll' type of responses eh Traffy??

So much for this 'sell out 12k' crowd eh?
Why so few people to see arguably the best team in England??
That's polite is it?
OK Bazza, given that the Leeds attendance was done to death about the Racecourse only holding just over 10k due to a terrace being closed for H&S please find me a quote with an estimated attendance of 12k from a Crusaders fan and it'll go some way to proving your not a troll (will never prove you're not a wind up merchant who refers to himself in the third person)

The ground doesn't even hold 12k. Cacpacity for this game was cut to 8.5k as there was a safety issue with some of the fire alarms. Presumably a couple of thousand people that were expected to pay on the gate didn't, there were a lot of other things going on in the region that weekend, without trying to make excuses it clashed with a large music festival and the Champions League final which may have put off many Wrexham FC fans and locals who otherwise would have come.
I thought Barry McKenzie was banned from this forum, I will be querying on the Mods Board why this seems to have lapsed.

Slight apologies.. this guy reckons it will sell out at just under 11k. Says he is from South Wales so it would appear he is a Crusaders fan. As you can see he says there were just 2,000 tickets left on monday.
The person before suggested the ground held about 12k

Save yourself the trouble mate.
I just won't bother posting on here again. No big deal. Doesnt seem like anyone else bothers anyway!
Good luck with your next big 'sell out' down Wrexham. I've heard there are only 26 tickets left for Crusaders next home fixture.
But that might all change if the sun comes out because die hard RL fans prefer a barbie to a bit of RL in North Wales so it seems.

I can't explain why so few people turned up to see arguably the best team in England but about 4500 turned up to see undoubtably the best team in Wales!

The capacity is usually around 10,500. Someone in the club shop said that there were roughly 2,000 tickets remaining, and this was also posted on the official Crusaders message board. We were then told that capacity had been cut by 2,000 for the match due to safety reasons, which may have meant that only 6,000 tickets had been sold. I don't know why people didn't turn up, maybe they included tickets sent to Wigan as being sold and they were returned, I don't know. Is it really that important though? Nobody really seems to be bothered by this at all other than you.
Your posts on here just seem a bit irrelevant now, considering that the new club is well run. ATEOTD, 6,000 is roughly the same as the club's record crowd when it was based in the South, and it is also a bigger crowd than Catalans got on the weekend. Go and pick fault somewhere else where it is deserved, Crusaders were a pathetic shambles last year and deserved all the stick they got but this is no longer the case and by staying here and trying to make out otherwise you're just making yourself look a bit stupid.
