| Quote tb="tb"Care to provide evidence to back up that assertion?
I'm aware of of a claim by some former players over alleged unlawful deduction of wages, relating to pensions. Unfortunately that's never likely to make it to court now to be proved one way or another.
I'm not aware of any evidence that Crusaders owes a six figure sum to their employees' pension funds though, so if you've got any, I'd be grateful if you shared it.
Interestingly, what Crusaders haven't done, for example, is announce with no warning that the club is in administration leaving all their employees without jobs - which, coincidentally, is what Widnes did in October 2007. Widnes were allowed to reform, without their previous debts, and compete NL1 in 2008.
Yet Dick Jones thinks that if Crusaders are 'allowed' to do exactly that - not even referring to next year's licence applications, but play in SL in 2011 - it will be taking the "pi55 out of Widnes". Weird.'"
Any evidence? This didn't happen, Its a story you made up and have stuck to religiously. The club continued to operate until a buyer was found. |

| Quote Roofs="Roofs"just my opinion though.'"
It has SFA to do with dishes or sales of dishes/sunscriptions, but you keep it up...marginalises your standpoint even more.
The people at BSkyB who feel that a team in London is a good idea are the ones I trust. They have a multi-million pound investment and I trust them to have a good reason as to why they want a team in the smoke. I suspect it has something to do with viewing figures in the capital and the fact that an advertiser can be told that RL is a national sport. I know if I was a manufactuurer of an FMCG and I wanted to advertise on Sky Sports, I would feel better about a national sport rather than a pit village pastime......
Roofs...I understand your principles. London were admitted to the SL without having to win anything....just as Hull Kingston Australians were admitted to the RFL without having to win anything....and I fully appreciate the lack of fans we take to games troubles you at night, but you do make yourself look a tad stupid at times.....I suggest you keep what the voices in your head tell you to yourself in future......it will save embarassment  |

| It is indeed excellent news for the Crusaders. One thing I did notice in the article is this quote:
Quote Chairman Ian Roberts and his fellow director Geoff Moss will now seek to complete negotiations with the administrators =#FF0000with a view to forming a new company, less weighed down by the burden of debt inherited from the old Bridgend-based club.'"
A new company was formed on the 20th of October. Why the pretence? |

No I don't think he is going to provide any evidence since I very much doubt he has any.
Silly me though, I forgot that once tb has said something 3 times it automatically becomes true*.
It's the law.

So have they got completely new backers? With a bit of luck, it will be people with plenty of cash behind them. They should rebrand to Wrexham or North Wales Crusaders in my opinion, leave Scorpions to the South, build up a rivalry , North and South Wales already have that. Hopefully this will cement a pro RL club in Wales for a long time now.

It's the same guys as before. The new company is called W Crusaders Ltd, which could mean either Welsh or Wrexham will proceed the Crusaders moniker. |

| Quote In the longer term, a breach of the League's insolvency regulations is unlikely to adversely affect their bid for a new Super League licence from 2012 after clubs voted recently for a rule change.'"
You dont need to be a stable business to be in Super League Europe then? Next stop scrapping the salary cap and a return to the bad old days  |
