If admin don't think it's relevant feel free to lock it!'"
So make it about the Crusaders and now about how well your fans behaved which was your initial point wasn't it?
Quote: Goochie "would be nice if someone who went would put a post on the VT recording today's events, as i'm sure its of interest to a wider audience, given that its crusaders last game possibly, and also in the light of several recent incidents of a less savoury nature regarding behaviour at matches'" |

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 |

today showed the what the rugby league family is all about, coming together as 1 to support a team of players and a set of fans who have had their club ripped from them, the scenes at the end of the game were moving, i'm sure both sets of fans had lumps in their throats and tears in their eyes, i know i did!
we have lost a fantastic group of supporters from superleague today, i hope crusaders will be back better and stronger in 3 years time ![]()
They haven't had their club ' ripped from them ' , their club isn't and has never been sustainable , this is what franchising does , it gives fans unworkable unrealistic expectations
Just how do you expect them back in SL in 3 years ? , you seriously expect them to get to the level of a Hull FC , Warrington or a St Helens inside 3 years ?

so apart from leeds and hull fc who are the only clubs who make profits, not including teams like warrington and hudds who are backed by sugar daddies, how many other clubs are sustainable?
having their liscence withdrawn a day before the announcement seems like having a club taken from them to me
in 3 years time anything can happen, it maybe unrealistic but stranger things have happened! on the field they will have to start from scratch again but development areas in wales is growing |

Wigan also made a profit this year. |

Sorry, I forgot I needed to ask your permission to make a post on the vt.
Do you not think an away team singing songs of their opposition was worth a small thread on here? If it was anyone other than Hull you wouldn't be bothered. |

It is called ' Super League ' , ie it is meant to be ' Super ' , part of that is big crowds and financial stability and sustainability , if you think they can do that in 3 years , you're nuts
I don't wish ill fortune on and club or it's fans , but the whole thing was a disaster from the start , as for the day before the decision , blame the RFL , they have known what the financial situation was all along , they should have revoked their licence months ago and cancelled the whole decision pantomime |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

To see what he is on about see the 'goodbye crusaders' thread. Fantastic.
We need to keep RL in wrexham.

Fantastic effort from the hull fans. In typical RL fashion some have still managed to be negative. |

Yes I'd agree with that , dump any club that cannot get enough fans to sustain a SL club at max salary cap spend , if the Crusaders fans are loyal RL fans they will all turn up next season for the visits of Gateshead , Skolars and the Skorpions , if the can retain the same number that attended today they will be a sustainable Championship 1 club |
