  1. We're in a spell of not playing since our win against Doncaster, but obviously I'll be going to Rochdale to support Oldham and home we cling onto our 6th place! That will be a battle royal I expect!

    Winners: Doncaster, Hunslet and Oldham....

     

    For those whove been following our nomadic existence this season, we should be playing at Eirias Park next weekend - as RGC, the union side, will have already played twice on the new pitch. Amazing how it all came together for them to play there first!

    So Cornwall or Crusaders fans, what were the two halves like? 

    We (Crusaders) were awful first half. Loads or unforced errors and our defensive line was like a dogs hind leg. Fair play to Cornwall they played really well and exploited our frailties to go in 4 - 40 at half time. The dressing room debrief must have been interesting to say the least!! Second half we came out with fire in our bellies....and were a knock on away from winning - which in fairness would have probably been undeserved...Well done to Cornwall on their win and to the fans who made the long trip up from Penryn.

    Hmmm, not all of us are on social media, as a local councillor I don't have anything to do with it (I acknowledge that I may be in a distinct minority here!). It's more the lack of anything on the club's website that's getting my goat.

    Have you contacted the Club and highlighted the problem? I checked the website and you're right; theres no version of the Club statement released on 24th....I'll mention it to the Directors on Sunday.

    What's starting to annoy me is that there's been nothing from the club about the new venue, including the website.

    There was a Club statement on social media on 24th July confiming this weeks game at Rhyl and next weeks game vs Doncaster at Chester. The Club HOPE to be at Eirias Park for our last and second League 1 game at 'home' to London Skolars. The last sentence of the statement says they have a meeting with Conwy Council this week to discuss what happens going forward...thats all the info so far.

    The rumour around the fans is that contractors lay the wrong surface at the stadium and it not suitable for rugby! I stress, thats a rumour, but seeing as it was supposed to be in use from 18th June its difficult to understand what else could be causing the delay.

    From minute 1 the Cru were looking for damage limitation only. Never looked liked breaking Dews defence all day. Thought Dews were lethargic and generally poor but conditions were always going to be a get out clause. Pretty defeat or horrible win. Horrible win every game. Bet Dons would have settled for that today.

    We scored a try, so we did break your defence! Our problem was not finishing sets or poor discipline when we were in good field position, I don't think damage limitation was on our agenda. It took Rams over 20 minutes to score any points, had a second try from a skirmish in the corner and then resorted to taking 2 point penalties. I'd say Crusaders put on a pretty dogged performance.

    We would happily have paid with cards or phones or even offering to do the washing up but were told we needed tickets. Never happened before. 

    They told us the same...£5 for a ticket to get into the bar after the game...... the stadium must not want away fans money.

     

    Oh! Plus they wouldn't let us put up flags because they didn't have a fire certificate!

    NWC supporters deserve a medal for sticking with the club.

    How can the club expect to develop a fan base when they cannot confirm where games will be played and the programme of home games becomes a roadshow. Folks will be put off buying season tickets given the uncertainties over where games will be played.

    I know its not only NWC fans who face this. 

    Its a shame because NWC tend to have ‘fought above their weight’ for many seasons.

    To be fair to the Club, our current nomadic status is not of their doing. Its all down to the stadium at Eirias Park and Conwy County Council - who have treated the club very shabbily. There are those of us who will travel to see North Wales Crusaders play anywhere but your point is valid, it puts people off buying season tickets for sure.

    The drop goal was to take Oldham 2 scores clear and it had the desired effect. Oldham regained their ascendancy at the point and then scored again. When they were well in control in the first half but only 6-0 up they twice turned down a kick at goal in front of the goals to extend the  lead. In the end I think drop goal was to correct the first half bad choices 

    I'd agree with that. It was smart game management and it was then up to Crusaders to break down Yeds defence. Oldham played an intelligent game forcing the game into the Cru half and making us play the length of the field. We were in the game until the drop goal and conceding two tries in quick succession.
