well, I enjoy having something to go and watch in the barron summer months...but i'd rather watch the ravens...I think we can co-exist though. why not? too much politics and what-ifs! Maybe they could do a all year season ticket and open the club up more in the week days for live games depending on how much the ravens get back from it....zero probably knowing LS. But we need more people to come to games...how do we get people coming back?

When the Crusaders leace the Brewery Field why can't the council or someone else buy the lease back of the idiot.
Where do Bridgend F.C play now.
Why could'nt they share the ground with us as they have done in the Gnoll with Neath F.C.
How can Leighton sell the ground for development does'nt the lease say it can only be used for sport?.
Where have all our supporters gone?
We seem to lose a couple of hundred every season, and its only the ones who really care about the club that go.
Why cant the club give free tickets to the schools around the area.
Its only going to cost us for the printing which we could try and get a company to cover them for us.
We aint got nothing to lose if they don't turn up, they don't turn up.
But if they do they will have to bring at least one paying adult with them and hopefully they will come back again.
Only my opinion, but we have to do something to get people back in there.
Lots of questions i know |

I don't know. At the moment be careful what you say, he owns the stadium we play out of! There is noone willing to buy the lease back and the council won't just ask for it back!

No idea, I heard they were knocking around in Porthcawl last season, not sure its true mind.

I'm sure that its being considered, but where would the ground be? Who would pay for a joint venue between us and the FC. Neath FC is not a ground share as the rugby club own the stadium.
How can Leighton sell the ground for development does'nt the lease say it can only be used for sport?.
He would have to have the councils permission, I am sure. They have the best interests of Bridgend Ravens at heart and the MP for our area supports Bridgend and the Crusaders

That is true, they are off supporting the next most plastic thing such as the Ospreys. The real fans have remained and their hard graft is keeping the Ravens going. It would be nice to have them back and have money coming into the club, but they are not real supporters of our club and will only support successful sides, thats why we had decent crowds when we won the league last.

We've tried some initiative with tickets last season I think, discount tickets were given to schools but not many took up the offer to use them. Under 12's already come in free with an adult to home games, and when we used to give away free tickets back in the pro era back then either. |

Thanks for the answers.
Get annoyed when you see other clubs moving so far ahead of us and us going backwards.
It seems the harder we try the more we get knocked back with no end in sight |

Bridgend FC play at the University of Glamorgan near Pontypridd. Locals forced them out along with council out of Porthcawl. Porthcawl FC were happy for them to stay, but now they have been forced out of the county.
Council don't give a damn about them, same with us. |

Thats why we have to make sure it don't happen to us.
We dont want to end up playing from Maesteg or Aberavon if we lose the Brewery Field.
Apart from the Police ground is there another one in Bridgend that has the facility needed by the WRU to play in the Premier Division
The only reason i come to Bridgend is for the rugby. |

The Bridgend blue bulls play in porthcawl, don't they? And the Football team play outside of the town. crazy. last season watching Bridgend was very depressing, at home and even worse away (especially at aberavon, where we took a lot of stick on the field and on the terrace)! And for many reasons. I think our rugby will be better this season (I think I said the same last year mind) and we should at least be more entertaining or competitive, which is what is needed to bring more people in. I brought a mate to a game last season, and it was dire. He didn't come again. Sometimes I wonder why I bother too. I don't come to every game, but I try to come to as many as I can, because I still get a buzz on the morning of a neath game or a cardiff game or whoever it may be, at the thought of possibly beating them (which doesn't last long once the game starts...).
