Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Wales back then did not exist as "country" according to the British government. Scotland and Northern Ireland existed but Wales was treated as an extension of England.
Newport and Gwent generally didn't pass into Welsh hands until 1974 prior to that it was considered to be "Monmouthshire" and part of England. I have an old 1930s map that shows it as being part of England.
Not that this has anything to do with rugby or Crusaders but it just rather illustrates the point that what is considered to be a "nation" is rather point-of-view and subject to change.
Most people don't consider Cornwall to be a nation these days but up til the 19th century it was.'"
Not bad only 70 odd years behind the times then  |

It's all repeating itself though.
My map has Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as independent countries. Twenty years ago, they were not.

Whether you could yourself Welsh, English or Nigerian really isn't the point.

What has this got to do with anything anyway? Crusaders are in Super League and here to stay.'"
Nothing. |

He may have been right about what happened in the early 20th century, but he was wrong when he said Wales isn't a country. It is. Just not a sovereign country. |

That is true, however if the thing you are attempting is not the most desired option then the chances of being successful are somewhat diminished.
Playing for a year "on the road" may be possible, making some money from it may be possible but it's not really helpful if you are trying to establish a home and generate a loyal following that will buy season tickets and becomes regular supporters is it?
I would imagine that, if this happens, then many of the current supporters will be put off. Some may even be lost completely to the club and the game. |

What is a non-sovereign country and why does this concept only apply to the UK when it's far longer established than most other European countries |

Chris not been paying attention to the transfer news? Most other papers (admittedly not the Times) seem to have a report of Matt Utai's signing … icon_wink.gif

|  The media would would delight in the Crusaders failing. Let's hope and pray they don't cos otherwise our game loses any credability it had with sponsors the media and the public. I can see the Guardian sub editors and other RL Hostile media delighting in writing the headlines now. |

Not a sovereign nation and proud of it. How backwards must a country be in the 21st century to still be subjects to feudal lords?
You worship the Saxe Coburg Gothas if you like. Charlie may have our wondrous country in his title, but outside of the a*r*s*e that chose our club badge (I use the term OUR in its loosest sense) we couldn't give a f*u*c*k about them.
Sadly though, I think our club will be gone before your monarchy
