Quote: DemonUK "Well administration wasn't a sudden decision in my opinion, backed up by the formation of a new company W Crusaders on the 20th Oct, along with the removal of the 'no adminsitration' criteria by the RFL around the same time, oh and the Administrators being from just down the road from Red Hall'"
i AGREE WITH THAT its been in the planing for quite a while one other thing that seems to have gone unreported is that LS when selling the lease on the Brewery Field built in a 3 year agreement to the new owners (Brewery Field that is NOT the Crusaders) that the Crusaders would lease the stadium to play SL matches for around £ 80000.00 a season this agreement was signed by the Crusaders (LS) but only came to light in the middle of last season.
I must say that one has to feel sorry for the new owners who were finding new problems almost on a daily basis and i do feel that much of the blame lies with MT (Now gone) who was party to pretty much everything from the passed regime in Bridgend.
Whilst i am no big fan of the RFL i really dont think they had much of a choice here after all the investment that has been put into Wales which in my opinion at grass roots level has been a great success for RL.
