Celtic Crusaders were allowed into SL playing at BREWERY FIELD by the RFL

They were allowed in to SL with a stadium that you felt was worse than two existing SL clubs? And now they play at a better one? Well then, of course that makes our sport a joke  |

You missed out semi-professional rugby league - when was the last time they let anybody join their competition from the lower one, based solely on onfield performance?

I think he's right. Until there is 6/7 Clubs that are run, supported, and playing well enough to compete in Super League, it'll never happen. Only Widnes can at the moment. |

It appears Starbug will only be happy when people agree with his opinion that the game below SL is doomed in a matter of time. I don't understand why people with this much negative feeling towards something actually bother to follow the sport?

| Quote: SmokeyTA "Speaking of pillocks, I know you are well aware that Crusaders were also allowed in to SL playing in Brewery Field on a short-term basis with a view to new stadium, as were Cas and Wakefield.'"
A ' short term ' basis ?
They had a piece of paper with some drawings on them for a possible stadium to be built in a few years time
Cas and Wakey had the same thing several years earlier
How long is ' short term ' , ? Maybe you should apply the same logic to your arguments about HKR s production of players |

Utter bollox , and you know it
So if that is the case why even bother setting minimum standards , other clubs spent money to comply , then the RFL to avoid embarrassment change their own criteria to suit
Keep ' pretending ' you believe what you are posting , one day you might just start believing it |

So what now . , are you suggesting they had the move to Wrexham , and going into admin twice in their licence application ?
No they didn't , they had plans to move to a possible stadium that was never going to get built , much like Cas and Wakey

They had applied for planning permission the same year they were promoted and were planning on moving to Rodney Parade for the 2010 season,
I think thats fairly short-term |
