This is more a reflection on the RFL and their [i'licence criteria' [/i than it is on the club itself, if true.



I've no wish to see any club go bust and would feel great sympathy with their fans. It would've been fantastic for RL to have a base in South Wales. But if it's not to be, it's not to be.

The only good thing would be to see a vile and corrupt organisation with it's face full of egg.



We'll see....

I just can't see this being the case but if it was I would absolutely love it...

I'd love to be more reasonable like others on this board but I'm afraid I'm still very bitter about the whole thing and nothing would give me greater pleasure.


As I said though, I can't see this being the case.

It still rankles with me but I have no desire to see Crusaders go t!ts up.

My anger at Crusaders (and one or two of their crowing fans) went when I realised it wasn't really them who did the dirty on us.

My anger is still with the RFL and Lewis. I hope that this - if true of course -serves to the game a salutary lesson in what to look after and nurture first and foremost.

I'm off to get ed after reading that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never had anything against them tbh.

Now that ridiculously thick crucrucrusaders guy, he is another kettle of fish.

I can't see this happening, but someone wrote about the Celtic players having to give there cars back to the club, that something I could belive

Wont happen.

Course it wont...its Barrow they will bring in

I smell a " London Broncos" style bail out coming

Would you like to see 50 fans or a 1,000 at KR your choice.

Because we are Widnes and we have good travelling support.

50 Widnes fans would be nice but........I'll take the 1000 Barrow fans please

All this franchise applications is making everyone bitter outside superleague.To stop any of this, i think we need promotion and relegation.We can spend and buy who want then game over. Stobarts can get best players.

I'll believe it when I see it.

living proof of the folly to let the welsh breed.........................

I couldn't give two s to be honest. Celtic are a non entity as far as I'm concerned and I've no real interest in pinning any dreams on watching us in super dooper league.

I'd sooner have seen us take our chances in 2005 to stay up or 2006/2007 in the Grand Final.

Going up on the back of a business plan or an artificial club going pop is not my idea of an achievement.

your history is your acheivement, you should have been in,in the first place

Probably just someone on a WUM, i would like to see a strong Welsh team in the league however not at the expense of others who quite rightly deserve it more.

My opinions on them are already well documented and probably too biased to be credible.

Has'nt even took them a season for things to go t1ts up, don't know whether to laugh or cry





Samuel is a compulsive liar, he says there is no financial trouble yet a few days later they may have to relocate.

Wonderful isn't it?
Honest Guv,it's gonna be a vigorous application process which will be transparent and strict criteria will be applied.Straight up.
Poor Ste O'Connor,jumping through bloody hoops when it was all a foregone conclusion.

These posts are quite revealing too.. it seems that Mr Samuels' words do not hold much water with the Celtic faithful celticcrusaders.proboards.com/in ... 556&page=1 celticcrusaders.proboards.com/in ... 555&page=1 Even Crucru is worried about everything going on... not his normal cocky self on there is he??
