Something few people seem to mention is that the system gives 3 years.



Therefore the assessment is surely on the state of the club at the next assessment. Thus comments like "throw em out and get XXXX in" are totally pointless. That shouldnt happen.



IF the Wrexham move is a success then they have come good. Although I think the chances of that are slimmer than slim!! BUT, what if it turns out to be a bridge? What I mean is, Crusaders do a stint in Wrexham to bridge the financial turmoil and the good foundation work continues at South Wales. If then the structure is right, should they merge to apply for a new license?

That’s true. But can you work out why Widnes are still here and playing in a first class stadium in their own town and the Celtic Crusaders are no more, with a club called the Crusaders now 150 miles away?



When you’ve worked that one out, you understand why your comparison is just plain stupid.



Oh, and just because people are unhappy about the way the Celtic Crusaders were fast tracked, it doesn’t mean they are happy with the way it has all gone. It doesn’t mean they aren’t feeling sympathy for their South Wales fans and it doesn’t mean they aren’t concerned about the future of the sport. In fact, they are the very reasons why these fans are unhappy about the way the Celtic Crusaders were fast tracked. This is something you and Smokey just will not grasp. It all has to do with being flatcapped, swivel-eyed anti-expansionist hypocrites and nothing else, to the two of you. Until you both wake up the the fact there’s another reason for the discontent, threads like these will go on and on and on and on……

Regardless of the licence decision, you compared the two clubs, as if there was no difference.



Do you really believe that?





Use the quote button in future.

An ability to read would show that I did not compare Crusaders and Widnes as clubs or anything else. Widnes isn't even mentioned.

So which club, that can be described as having... would that be?



Oh, and there can be a difference, by the way. It totally depends on the clubs in question.

Anyway, suffice to say, it's not a disgrace. Something along these lines ought to have happened 3/4 years ago and maybe the Crusaders wouldn't have been looking for a new home. If the existing football club can benefit while being of assistance to the homeless Crusaders then good luck to 'em.



That being said, the Crusaders have a hell of a job on to fullfill enough of the 10 point criteria that the RFL has laid down. If they can, then maybe RL can build a route through Wales to Southern England. Let's hope the new team in South Wales does the fans proud.

Warrington?

He said he quoted this post. That sort of narrows it down a bit more than that, doesn't it?

This comment from a moderator against a more than reasonable contributor to any thread on this board is pretty poor.

widnes should be put in SL, if only to shut up the whinging of their fans spoiling any thread not concerning them

You should be made King of RLFANS.COM in that case.

Did you not know? tb is the king of message board patronisation... He sits there rubbing his hands with glee with each demeaning comment he idly throws..
