Go onto their club forum and there has been a statement made today that they have written to the RFL to ask if they be allowed to field a championship team. It doesn't state which Championship league but by god it better be championship one as otherwise totally unfair on all the teams in the CC1 that have been fighting hard all year.

Also i know it will take the RFL a while to sort it out but how will Crusaders operate ?. Salary cap exemptions etc.

The next few months are going to be interesting to see what the RFL decide to do with RL in the championships.

I predict they will be in with us and have a three year exemption from relegation to Championship One.

.....and probably unlimited overseas players, a parachute payment and a free tick in the box for SL next time round. They are a joke just like the RFL...rant over!

should be no payment and also should start on level terms with other clubs. same rules and let them build up from there.

You can bet your life someone from the RFL "helped " them write the letter , I say no increase salary cap, no parachute payment , no more Aussies than anyone else and Champ 1 to fight their way up like everyone else.

Everyone - please adjust your "angry resistance buttons" to maximum levels. The next three years will blow some fuses amongst "ordinary championship" fans. To all club Chairmen - keep stocking the KY jelly.

Early doors yet , and no mention of any ' Sugar Daddy ' , and we know how much they like their ' individual benefactor ' rather than a sustainable proper business plan like Fax s ?

How many times is this club allowed to reform???
How many rules are they allowed to break without being kicked out?
They go bust as Celtic Crusaders in South Wales and then are reformed in North Wales as Crusaders and yet stayed in SL, that was a con.
They go bust and reform as whatever they will they be called next and are allowed to go into the Championship.
This is not the same club it is a 'new one' so why are they not put in Championship 1?

How many special dispensations are they allowed?
It is this that gets us annoyed as poor Rochdale and Oldham had to start all over again when they went bust, no favours for them years ago.

Looks like we can kiss goodbye to a licence in three years time then!

Crusaders will be in championship 1 next year alongside the scorpions and not our division. Harris off to Wigoon as Asst coach

The best way of dealing with the RFL and Crusaders is to realise that we are the "customers" and supply a good percentage of the money.
If Crusaders are allowed to come into the Championship and found to have been given a parachute payment I just wont go to the home and away games involving Fax and them. All other occasions I will support Fax 110%.
Whilst Crusaders have been in Superleague I have never watched one of their matches either live or on Sky.

As a Crusaders fan I do not see the need for parachute payments or such like. We should budget for 1,500 gates and pay players accordingly. I think all the talk of quotas, salary caps etc is a total red herring as I am sure a new coach will be looking more towards Swansea than Sydney for new players.

Not to mention letting Blackpool go to the wall. I would hazard a guess that just 100K could have saved that club.

But there is only room for one club at best in Wales not two.
People seem to forget that we had clubs in South Wales back in the 80's and early 90's and they failed too!
Its RU country end of story and now they have two decent football clubs in Cardiff and Swansea where will RL get its support from?
