That's the whole point of the Crusaders publicising the the ticketing arrangements - to avoid your confusion and aggravation. Simple really.

Yup. But some Saints fans have a hard time getting to grips with these things.

Some Saints fans wont be reading these these forums, some neutrals might turn up wanting to watch the game, it sounds like a bunch of travelling friends running the ticket office to me... !!
I am in wrexham Saturday working, (dont know what time i will finish) ... I dont intend going through any of the hassle mentioned above... I will watch it in the pub.

And BTW... I was taking at least four people with me who have never seen a rl game before. so thats a loss for the game !... ( 3 of them live in wrexham).

Well, it's down to your own daft attitude so don't go blaming the Crusaders for that. That's entirely your own responsibility.

And you wouldn't be the first Saints fan to be within spitting distance of a live game but instead opt to go into the pub!

I think I'll not bother now. I am working till 4 in Preston. Had it been advertised as ticket only sooner, I would have got one from the club shop on Friday night.

But oh no. This is rugby league. We have to be awkward and make people's lives difficult.

So, instead of bombing down the motorway and handing some nice lady some money and walking through a turnstyle, I'll sit at home. The farce of turning up and having to queue to get a ticket for an unreserved stand with little time to get in as it is has put me off.

How about asking one of your 3 friends who lives in Wrexham to pick up your ticket or go to your club shop? If prefer watching away games from the pub rather than live in a Stadium thats fine too.

Don't you think your reaction is a bit OTT?

Not really,how hard is it to open a cash turnstyle ?.Why treat customers like this.I run a business and i make it as easy as possible for customers to part with their money.
I want Crusaders to become an established club in Wrexham,i relly want it to work,but listening to the stories from Salford fans who couldnt get in i really think they are going the wrong way trying to attract fans.After all its not as if its going to be a sell out.

Why is it such a problem getting a ticket from the office and then walking for one minute to get into the ground?
Many of you will have to walk past the ticket office from your cars before you get to your allocated stand.

i'd have to agree mate, whats the fecking problem? its an away game so you arrive AT LEAST 30-15 mins early, plenty time to buy your ticket, talk about making a mountain out of a molehill!

For most Saints fans, none. For some Saints fans, it's just another excuse to go to the pub to watch the match!
