fearnowt Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Surprised we don't know ourselves yet. Most of the football grounds in Wales which previously would be considered as suitable now have 3G pitches. This includes the Druids FC ground which we used a couple of years ago, and is now unsuitable for RL. Best I can suggest is to keep an eye on both club's websites and social media. https://twitter.com/nwcrusadersrl For all the latest news on North Wales Crusaders, please click on the link below to the new club website. https://www.nwcrusaders.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearnowt Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just as I was posing my reply, this appeared on the club's twitter: SUNDAY: We are in the final stages of confirming the venue for Sunday's clash with Hunslet and will update supporters as soon as possible. https://twitter.com/nwcrusadersrl For all the latest news on North Wales Crusaders, please click on the link below to the new club website. https://www.nwcrusaders.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogledd Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 On the face of it it seems to be a trivial issue as we've ended up at home anyway but I am aware of how much effort has gone into getting the game at Queensway. Initially Welsh Athletics and Freedom Leisure did not want the game at Queensway. They have athletics track and field events booked for Saturday and Monday and didn't want the stadium marking changed for rugby league on Sunday. It was definitely off at one point. The Clubs General Manager and Directors with help from some supporters have been ringing round local venues to get the game on. When they found a venue willing to accept the game the RFL then had to approve the venue. Some were not available, some were found and not up to RFL standards. Its taken some skillful negotiation and a lot of work just to play at home. But I am very happy that this was the outcome. It will be the first time in a long time that we have played all our games in one home stadium and not had to move venues. Moving would have meant loss of support, loss of revenue and a fixture which was not truely a home fixture and potentially putting us out of contention for the League 1 Shield. So all Cru fans, go up and shake hands with those who made it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayCee Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My father grew up in North Wales, Bagillt c. Fflint. He's passed away now but would be in his 90's if still alive. When I was a lad I played RL in Auckland and he said he recalled seeing RL games played in the North Wales coast area when he was younger. A bit off point I know. Well done the Crusaders with their win over Hunslet, My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayCee Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm in the South Is, across the Cook Strait. I don't have plans to see any live games. Wow, that will be a great trip. At this stage do you know who's playing that match or likely to? My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

I know it won't be Wales if they get to a quarter final as they will be in either the Darwin or Melbourne QF but I wanted to go to NZ as well as Australia and PNG. I have a family friend in Wellington so it seemed like the best choice - I suppose Aukland would have been the better choice for Rugby League but the trip is to meet friends and family too.
