I really don't know what to make of this!

It means they are thinking of having another club in south Wales

Well at least the obligatory sarcy post is out of the way



It does make me wonder why anything would be considered seeing as the latest farce doesn't seem sorted yet.

When will they wake and realise, Wales = RU.

It does make you wonder what they put in the tea up there doesn't it

See my reply on the fixtures post.
Why should they be allowed in the Championship???
they should go into Championship 1 surely???

now you know that the RFL will do anything they can to help and expansion club, its an unwritten law.

The Link states they've applied to Championship 1.

Would be a good thing, and wouldnt mind another trip to Bridgend, provided they arent propped up and allowed to sign a dozen or so Aussies

I agree. great for the game, if they have to adhere to the same restrictions as other teams in the league. Don't mind them having additional aussies but the salary cap has to be the same.

when i read the name of this thread i thought you were on about an australian NSW team entering

The Victoria spongers

What a joke. If it doesn't work in south wales, move the club closer to the heatlands and then form another club in south wales!!!!!

Good luck to oldham, rochdale, swinton et al playing against a team of illegal australians - this club will claim promotion "with the same rules as all others". My eye.

I would laugh at the joke that is Wood and Lewis if it wasn't so sad and so serious

According to Mr Wood "THIS WILL BE A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AS THEY HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED A TRIP TO BRIDGEND BEFORE" didn't the Crusaders start in championship 1 n we played them in 2008 or did I just dream it?

They started in what was national league 2 in 2006

it'll split the rl fanbase in Wales - disaster for the game

Keeing saying your prayers that Mr Creosote and his failed marketing man find new jobs soon.
Do they think RL fans are made of money...

2 into 1 doesn't go and what happens to the dog?

If they know that the new welshies will be playing Workington in February, then they know the fixtures. Just Bl00dy give them to us, we have waited long enough already.

Just read this on a BBC board regarding Crusaders:



Why Neath when there's already a team there? Why not go back to Brewery Field for a couple of games to at least say sorry to the fans there that have been royally done over?

The only good thing about Brewery Field was the clubhouse and the Brains SA.

Bridgend have a team called the Ravens i think.What happened to Newport

Ravens are a Union Side.

Can't see many making the 300 mile round trip for home games

So are Neath
