Q&A WITH THE CHAIRMAN, STEVE YOUNG
Why did you want to be affiliated with The Sharks as an official supporters venue?
“We understand the value of the Sharks brand and share a core focus on providing entertainment for the entire family. We aim to offer Sharks supporters a safe and comfortable viewing experience for away games. We are very proud to have been nominated as one of the Official Sharks Supporters Venues in KZN.”
What is the vibe like when the Sharks games are on at Crusaders?
“There’s always a great atmosphere at Crusaders on weekends, and it gets even better when the Sharks are playing! The vibe is electric under the marquee in the beer garden, and our massive LED outdoor screen, along with multiple screens in the clubhouse, make it the best place to watch the games. We have live music and excellent DJs before and after the matches to keep our customers entertained, and our friendly staff ensure you have everything you need.”
What would you recommend pairs best with rugby from the Crusaders kitchen?
“Saders Kitchen produces amazing food. Their wood-fired oven pizzas are excellent, and they constantly offer delicious specials at great prices. Personally, I think their chicken peri-peri is the best I’ve ever tasted!”
What makes Crusaders such a special venue in Durban?
“Crusaders is unique in that all profits made from our bar are reinvested into the property, with none of the executives benefiting financially. We take pride in our incredible facility, which serves the entire community and our sporting sections. By supporting Crusaders, you are indirectly supporting your community—and that’s something special.”
Whether you’re looking for a great place to watch the Sharks or just want to enjoy quality food and a welcoming atmosphere, Northwood Crusaders is the place to be. Join us in supporting the Sharks and your local community!
