Quote: PHIPPS "As I have said for a long time.

[sizeRUGBY LEAGUE IS NOT POPULAR IN WALES.[/size


Union is the only sport that counts there.

People should have worked it out by now. 2 failed expansion attempts. It's never going to happen.'"


Which is why the two football clubs in the two biggest cities in Wales comprehensively outdraw the respective rugby union teams. Yeah, some Union stronghold.

League can strive in Wales, but it needs to be a longterm project. What good does 3 years do for anyone?

Quote: Famous "It is a myth that Rugby Union is this huge sport in Wales and everything else is small in comparison. This is a myth pushed by the media and Welsh Rugby Union fans and it has little substance.

If you are comparing like for like then the Welsh Premiership Rugby Union hardly attracts huge attendances either and only attracts a few hundred to matches. Football is much bigger in Wales and Swansea and Cardiff get much bigger attendaces than the Welsh regions and that doesnt even include the huge number of people that support English clubs. In Rugby Union it is only the internationals where fans turn up in big numbers and many of these do so because of the media hype and the social aspect of it being a day out and a place to be seen.'"


But its the same with RL in the North. Football crowds dwarf RL crowds.

Maybe the original poster was onto something with this one.

Wrexham Village (Moss and Roberts) have obviously bid to stage this international. There are posts on Crusaders Facebook page from season ticket holders saying they hope the game is moved as they will not put another penny into the pocket of Moss and Roberts.

If I were the RFL I would change the venue as soon as possible. Maybe to a larger venue down South as I'm not too comfortable with anything going to the men who sold us down the river either and for those of you that know me I will watch almost any level of Welsh RL. The only people who are attending the last few games are in the main season ticket holders. They will not be buying merchandise or anything within the ground for the same reason so feelings are definitely running high to say the least.

This could be an embarrassingly low crowd if things are not done soon.

Epic fail. Hope it wasn't the mortgage.

Moving it to Widnes would be the most sensible option. Still close enough for the Crusaders fans to travel to and would also give Widnes a good event to celebrate their return to SL.
