Crusaders Chairman Ronnie Millar sends us a festive message via the website.
" On behalf of myself. my fellow board members, our manager Stephen and the team can I extend seasonal greetings to all Crusaders supporters and their loved ones at this happy time. We must all remember on a somber thought those who are no longer with us due to their passing and can no longer sit at the family table and we should always have these families in our thoughts at this time*
Ronnie adds “Can I give my usual mention to those the special people that make Crusaders the team they are on and off the pitch.. From top to bottom they make me a very proud Chairman and without all the hard work and dedication we as a club would not be in the position we are today. In closing you the supporters keep the players going and this season they have found you as united as we have been for many years. From Valkeakoski to Rosenborg to the journeys around Northern Ireland the team appreciate everything you do and they will do their best to give it back."
"Can I wish our sponsors a Happy Christmas also and thank you for your continued support that does not go unnoticed and finally to the wider football family throughout the Irish League, to all competition sponsors and to NIFL may you also have a good time these coming days."
"I finish as always with the usual yearly request… Three points against our North Belfast rivals Cliftonville on Tuesday and let's make it a very special day for everyone in Red & Black.
C'mon the Crues. Keep The Faith
