Well done to both teams served up a cracker, literally a game of two halves. Commiserations to North Wales that what some second half. Had a good year have the Crusaders but we have not been too shabby. Aggregate score for NWC V Dons this season 34 -116. (both in Wales) Now onto do battle with Keighley. 

What time is kick-off next week?

Llongyfarchiadau/ Congratulations to Doncaster on their win yesterday. As most posters have said a game of two halves, but we needed to play for 80 minutes. Fair play to Doncaster they stuck at it and got the win.

Very proud of our team this season; third in the league and two playoff games with probably one of the lowest budgets in League 1.

Farewell to Karl Ashall and Warren Thomson who played their last game for Crusaders; thanks for all the happy memories fellas.

Good luck to the 3 remaining teams in their battle for promotion.

Don't know what was happening in the first half, but what a comeback. It's always disheartening when the opposition are scoring freely without reply, but Doncaster proved the importance of doing just that, take away any two of Donny's tries and the result could have been different.

Our season might be over, but we are all pinching ourselves to make sure we are not dreaming. What a season this has been, leaving Wrexham to survive just five months ago, moving to Colwyn Bay has probably been the best decision anyone has ever made at the club, and I hope we can make it our permanent home.

Attendances have more than doubled there’s a great atmosphere and we’ve picked up lots of local support it would be folly to return to the old ground.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the gates for the two play-off games were? Can't find them anywhere.

Speaking to the chairman a few weeks ago after one of our home games, he said we will definitely NOT be going back to Queensway.

If we do play in Wrexham again, it will be at the Racecourse, but in all honesty that would not be a viable permanent move. Perhaps an occasional game there now that Wrexham FC have more open minded owners, but it's just too expensive.

Eirias Park is the home of rugby in North Wales, and I'm almost certain we will be staying there.

Not seen the figures either, but guessing about 700ish. One thing about the playoffs is the gate money is shared between the two clubs.

I think vs Keighley it was 771, not sure about yesterday; I'll make some enquiries but I'd say over 600
