I AM A SUPPORTER OF CELTIC CRUSADERS AND ALL THINGS EXPANSIONIST.
Why, when went to the trouble of typing in a humorous "Iechyd Da" subject topic, do I find my fully supportive thread for all things Celtic Crusaders moved "elsewhere"? eVEN WORSE, YOU CHUCKED ME IN WITH THE KNUCKLE DRAGGING FLAT EARTH LOT
original post in SUPPORT of the Crusaders being given a licence


Power gone to your head
welcome to the wonderful world of Superleague outside the M62.
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO PREPARE FOR OVER THE COMING YEARS.

You don't deserve to be in SL! This comment normally comes at the start of a thread, when that thread occurs during the school holidays, or by page three of a thread where the flat earth brigade give up trying to use facts to win an argument.
Widnes/Leigh/Halifax (delete as applicable) get bigger crowds than you! This comment normally comes at the start of a thread, when that thread occurs during the school holidays, or by page three of a thread where the flat earth brigade give up trying to use facts to win an argument.
The RFL have bailed you out thousands of times! This comment normally comes at te start of a thread, when that thread occurs during the school holidays, or by page three of a thread where the flat earth brigade give up trying to use facts to win an argument.
You're just a team full of Australians! As above, but also tinged with a certain amount of Jealousy that you have been given a few years to catch up with their club, who've had over 100 years to develop, but still pay pensions to Australian has-beens!

Now I have only started off with these few, but believe me there are many more, so feel free to PM me if you need help with any others.

Keep it tidy

You don't deserve to be in SL! TRUE

Widnes/Leigh/Halifax (delete as applicable) get bigger crowds than you! Can't argue with you there mate. TRUE

The RFL have bailed you out thousands of times! TRUE. They will, until they give up the ghost. Unless they realise their mistake a lot earlier and move your club, whilst still solvent, to St Helens to clear their massive debts.

You're just a team full of Australians! TRUE

So you hit the nail on the head on all counts. Well done.

Whether you believe we deserve to be in SL or not we are. Plain and Simple as that really.

The rfl think we deserve to be in and they are the ones that make the decision that counts.

Now we'll take our team full of Aussies, hopefully finish the season strongly and make a few changes end of season and on to Super League we go.

Why bother with this season at all? Doesn't matter where you finish your still in super league. Lets face it none of the current team would figure in a super league starting 13?

I think JD said he is keeping the nucleus of the squad together.

If that is the case surely the team will want to win something while still together if they know they won't be together as a group after this season.

if you build it they will come the thread that is

£££££££££££££££ prize money if we win the thing.

Plus winning it would shut the flatcappers as we would have got into super league anyway had there not been licencing.

Sorry, I had to change the title of this. It annoys me lol.

The phrase is "iechyd da" and it translates as "good health" but is customary translated at cheers.

Got that off my chest so now you all know.

Diolch.

cheers mate

wow a welsh person that can speak welsh thats stranger than a welsh super league team

or a Widnes fan who can speak English.

Beautifully set up, and with a decisive finish.

Wonder what SL will be like in 20 years time......

Will it include TOLOUSE OLYMPIC RLFC; HIGHLANDERS RFLC; DUBLIN PRAWNS RLFC; MOSCOW MULES RLFC; ATHENS SPARTENS RLFC; KIEV COSSAKS RLFC; KAZAN TARTERS RLFC and even SERBIAN ASSASSINS RLFC and RHEINLAND IRONMASTERS RLFC and even poor old WIDNES & LEIGH LOSTBOYS RLFC in a two conferance 24 team set-up forming a real 'Pan-European' Superleague comp.....

What a choice for away travelling RL fans....



Mind you will be either playing for a team in the Heaven League or - though hope not - in the Hell League by then. Tough expect the 'Whippet & Flatcaps' fans will still complain that the RFL has ruined our 'great game' by allowing all this unfettered expansion outside their 'home towns'. Nowt change.....

One does have to admire the classic simplicity of the perfect one two.

Look plane and simple. It wont work. RU is the national sport in wales. People wont travel from all round wales to watch Celtic Crusaders. The crowds will eventually settle around a couple of thousand. Only reason people aroudn bridgend are entertaining the idea is because the welsh RU don't want them so they feel betrayed.

You can tell there still rugby union fans at heart by the way they attacked Brian Moore after his comments.

I'll say it again whats the point in expanded into a small town in wales?

They already are

people who post on this board do.

Just because Union is the national sport in Wales doesn't mean the Celtic Crusaders wont be a success. And it certainly shouldn't mean we shouldn't try to establish a club in Wales.

not really because all widnes fans speak english but a lot of inbread clueless welsh people CANT SPEAK THEIR OWN LANGUAGE i know its crazy

Got beat at Leigh did you.

On a Personal note i would watch CC
lets look at union whos is the best region with loads of cash Ospreys so would prob be the only one to watch then it will get boring
National team 6 nations sides where poor last year
how many players will come from union to league eill have to wait and see
how many league players went north cuz there was nowt in wales for them i think they would have played at CC if they where up and running then
I belive that they will survive
OK maybe we will have poor crowds to start didnt the warriors till they played the likes of wasps
how many SL Clubs have a big away following i was told leeds take about 2500 away not a lot seeing as they been around for years
Good luck and lets make it work

Went down to have alook at the trials today, approx 100 talented 18 year olds playing rugby league. The future is looking bright

Good news there then.

It can only snowball from here if we approach it in the right way too.

oooh, can I add

Rugby Union is the national sport in Wales, Rugby League will never be a succuss This comment normally comes at the start of a thread, when that thread occurs during the school holidays, or by page three of a thread where the flat earth brigade give up trying to use facts to win an argument.
