Yeah that's fine, wonder if it is the one I just watched online?

If you are smart just read my post I stated I feel for any fan who loose the S/L status I have been handling the truth a lot longer than most followers of rugby league ..It wasn't the fans doing that S/L was born I would have still like one big league but that wasn't my choice to make it was the powers to be ..ps I have followed rugby league since 1941

Fantastic game, fantastic atmosphere!



Both sets of fans a real credit to the game. Great touch by the hull fans when the whole crowd started cru cru crusaders! Great day out just felt gutted for the crusaders fans!

Nope. We have a system of not derailing threads though.

I didn't realise I had

And therein lies part of your problem.

why, he's quite right.

Sadly he is in many ways and that is why there must be an inqiury into the Crusaders.



Saying that the games at Wakefield and yesterday have seen the passion of the Crusaders fans win over alot of people and hopefully a new club will happen and the bad taste left over by the RFL and Moss and Roberts motives will be put in the past and a fans run club developing local talent on a reasonable budget will happen and the good will that the last few weeks has seen both inside and outside the Principality will not have gone to waste.



Fair play to you lot for making a great day even more special.

I do feel for the Crusaders fans, but once the franchise was moved to Wrexham the writing was on the wall, hopefully a championship side can be established and can grow it's supporter base in the normal way. Only RL could be so arrogant as to think it can create it's own market by falsely parachuting a team into it's top flight, Catalan had a strong local following and a good regional base, and they have taken quite some time to finally find their feet, Wales will do the same, in time, but I do personally believe it needs to be South Wales based to get a meaningful club going.

I'm sure you can point out where I've derailed it for me , so I dont do it again

There is far more potential in North Wales to develop RL especially in terms of finding talent who want to play League rather than in the South where players will be RU converts. I guess at the end of the day it might not matter too much but if the 8 and 9 year olds being introduced to the game now are the North Wales Nomads or whatever a future team may be called fans of the future there is the potential to find a level and see where it leads from there.



Leave the Scorpions doing what they are doing and hopefully getting better year on year to mount a promotion push one year soon and with Crusaders already having a fan base a new outfit can build on the Championship seems the only logical place to start.
