I went to yesterday's game and thought that you have the makings of a a very good club.
Your stadium is good and better than some in SL, your fans showed a passion for your team and numbers will increase when the results turn your way.

These early years will be difficult both on and off the field, but give it time and it may well turn out good for you guys. I enjoyed my visit and will return next year. Stick with it and you could well take Quins place in the next set of licenses.

I'll echo those sentiments, I still want to get up to Wrexham before the end of season. I honestly think you've got some potential to go places. Is Wrexham your permenant home now?

Let's hope so. Only 3 more home games at the Racecourse though v Salford, Saints and Hull KR. Two other 'home' games are down south in Neath as part of the 'agreement' to move to Wrexham. Next season all home games should be up here with a recognised match day - fixtures and times have been all over the place this season - doesn't help in trying to create a regular fan base.

I remember all these comments coming from fans of other SL teams not so long ago. Rugby league was always thought of as being a really good sport for sticking with your fans but it did not happen for the original fans of the Crusaders. Before anyone says anything about moving on I have to say that I was not a supporter of the team when they played in Bridgend. Of all the people that used to go there though, the biggest mouths that used to let off steam about being deserted by the old management, they travel to Wrexham to watch. As I said, I am not a supporter but I feel that a lot of the supporters now will not keep travelling to watch them over the long term. A great number of them were just hangers on who never supported any team before the Crusaders started up. The same is now happening at theRacecourse. Another reason why I think they will not survive the long term is the fact that the owner stated from the start that he was only interested in getting his hands on the franchise was solely to save the footbal team who were on the brink of extinction until then.
On another note, when the franchises come up for grabs again, I have heard from fans of a number of teams that they are going to start a petition to drop the Crusaders in favour of a Northern team because of the fact that the team at this time are not the team who were awarded the licence and therefore should not be readmitted due to breaking almost all the terms that were originally agreed.
As a Bradford Bulls fan I have enough problems of my own but I cannot agree that they deserve to bein SL and look forward to seeing them play the likes of Keighley and Featherstone in the future

You got to love Trolls.

Albertwilliams has got to be the worst attempt every. Does he not realise that his own club is up the creek without a paddle. He says only reason you moved up north was due to the football team almost going to the wall. Rumors are that the Bulls are going to play home games at the Bradford City ground. Wether true or not the rumors have surfaced this year. And what about the crap re supporters not going to Wrexham. Dont have a go at them just becuase the gates at the Bulls have dropped. Where has the thousands of glory hunters gone. More than likely siting at home praying the could get Nobby back. What does he get ohhh yes POTTER. The saints fans wants POTTER out now not at the end of the season. Even worse rumor on the Wigan forum is that Feka is on his away on a 2 year deal. Feka is the prop who cant get his place in the Warriors side at the moment as hes not up to Maguires standard as he only plays 20 min maximum. We even played Tuson as a prop on Friday. Tuson is a young player just coming through the ranks at Wigan.

So instead of coming on another teams forum and having a right moan you have a crap coach, crap team and crap stadium with a dark future ahead. At least the crusaders have a decent stadium and a better coach. Tbh the more i read your post its obvious your a bitter South Walian jealous that the crusader side now looks to have a future somehthing it did not have 6 months ago and something that the Bulls dont look like having given the your stadium is very poor abd your over reliance on signing over paid imports on a look out for a wage. Youve had over 10 years in a Salary Cap era to sort out the youth development in Bradford and yet bugger all is coming through. Burgess is the only talent to come throuh it ion the last 3-4 seasons and hes gone.

Dam need to go im ina total state of depression give the beating the Wire gave Wigan on Friday cant cope with the bleakness of knowing were in the play offs so soon. At least if the Crusaders played Featherstone they could beat them. Bradford are that bad they would not. Your not making the play offs this season thats how bad you have become.
