I have a couple of friends who are Cru fans, and I feel really gutted for them.

The only ones to blame in this saga are The RFL.
Celtic Crusaders weren't ready for Super League when the last franchise announcement was made, and unfortunetely, as with any business plan built on shifting sand, it was doomed to failure.

I hope they come back in the championship next season, but I've got a feeling that a merger with South Wales Scorpions may well be the only way forward, unless the loyal Cru fans of North Wales really, really WANT Rugby League, and are willing & able to watch it in the lower divisions for the next 3 years.

Sounds like good news. I assume they wouldn't put on a press conference to announce that there won't be a club next season.

Press conference timed for 'around' 11.30 a.m.

Quote: The Chronicler of Chiswic "Apparently there's going to be a news conference sometime tomorrow about the club's future - linky thingy on the Crusaders board (havn't put it in so that people will see that Starbug isn't the flatcapped iconclast that people think he is).'" loverugbyleague.com/news_6204-cr ... berth.html
