Quote Grendel="Grendel"So that's it then.
Rugby League has been taken off Bridgend. We all knew about the Wrexham Crusaders.
But the preferred option of an independent club in Bridgend appears to have been binned, in favour of the RFL's option of a Crusaders sub-club in Neath.
All the Wrexham Crusaders' "on the road" games where they "spread the word" will be at Neath. Nothing for the home of Rugby League in Wales.
So that's it. I'm out. Out of the Wrexham Crusaders, out of the Neath side, out of Rugby League.
Leighton Samuel has killed my passion for both codes, aided and abetted by the gutless lack of vision and incompetence of both governing bodies.
I never understood why you lot deride the RFL so much. I do now.
I have to say, of the two codes, ON the field League is FAR superior, especially given the new game-killing rules Union has just introduced.
But I just can't enjoy it without a side to support and the RFL AND WRU both seem to hate Bridgend.
So good luck to you and your teams, but for the first time in over quarter of a century, rugby is no longer a part of my life.
(The usual suspects are very welcome to come on here and deride the post, but I won't see it because I'll be gone and if I can figure out how to delete my account it'll be gone too.
Bye Rugby League, it's been a fun few years.
All the best,

Its sad that it has got to this stage, i hope you will continue to support rl in some capacity (you'd be welcome to support cas anyday mate, and i'm sure many other teams would value your support.) could i just ask why you wont be supporting the neath team my knowledge of welsh geography isnt great but i thought it was just down the road? i know you are p*ssed of with the rfl (been there done that mate) but you could try giving the neath team a chance if they are willing to develop local rl and be a side that will put down roots in south wales.
Obviously its your call, i had rather hoped that many of the disgruntled cc fans would switch there alliegance to the new team (which i had hoped would be at bridgend as its a good place for rl teams to visit and would mean some continiuty) giving it a solid foundation to grow from.
dont stop believing mate.
