A typo, the P being next to the O in OWNED.

"Meanwhile, impressive renovations at the Crusaders former Brewery Field home are rapidly bringing the ground up to Super League standards"
They would have to be VERY impressive as, the last time that I was there, in 2008, the ground was about on a par with Whitehaven or Workington's (just examples, no offense to either club)

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 |

is it just me that finds this ' statement ' somewhat ridiculous

Yes Bridgend to Newport , not ideal but it has reason to it , possibly if it had been to Swansea , but 156 miles is just plain bloody crazy
The RFL should pull the SL licence , get hold of Kevin Ellis and the owners of Brewery Field , find some central funds and get a club either in SL if there is interested investors or if not re start back in Championship 1 , but based in Bridgend

Pathetic and sums the RFL up for what they are
“Moving home grounds is not against the terms of the Super League licence and isn’t without precedent,” said the spokesman.
What a joke.....if we're not careful, we'll turn the fanchising system into a complete and utter laughing stock.
Celtic Crusaders are looking for a new ground and backer, therefore the RFL let them move anywhere?!!? and they've already had a change of name and so could change it again!!!
so therefore anyone could presumably bid for them, relocate them, and in essence buy a SL franchise!!!! WTF!! whats the point in all the hard work in applying for SL in the first place then?! The RFL what a laughing stock!!
If i was the widnes chairman with a bit of wedge id be seriously up for making a mockery of the whole system!! Why doesnt he buy the CC, relocate them to a smashing purpose built staduim in a place just outside of wales called the Halton staduim, rename them Widnes RLFC.....disabanden the Widnes Vikings, and transfer all their players to Widnes RLFC?!!? Job done!!!
WHAT A JOKE!!! at least if the widnes chair did this it would be a sence of justice done!

I thought this, though to be make it more legit they could be Widnes Crusaders for 2010 and 2011 playing 1 or 2 token games at Wrexham (take the Harlequins and Catalans games as they'd get less anyway) and then apply for a 2012 license as Widnes Vikings playing all games at Widnes

IMO Widnes should play at Wrexham from time to time anyway - have been saying it for 20 years (not non-stop, that would be boring and tiring).

Moving ' grounds ' is not the issue , but moving from 150 miles from the nearest other club to within 40 miles is an issue , the Celtic licence was given to South Wales , that is where they should remain
If the Chairman of Wrexham FC is interested in a RL club , fine , get him down and lets talk about it

Oh because Wigan RL having to play a PLAYOFF game out of Widnes last year didn't look bloody embarrassing...

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| Damn, I was really hoping the "I told you so" wasn't going to be needed but the writing has been on the wall with this joke since the beginning. Will the RFL ever learn?

Unlike me to defend a w1g4n fan , but hardly the same 1 game 13 miles away and a scenario that could easily happen to several other clubs , against an 150 mile ' emigration '

The point being, neither are true, but it is easy to make something seem like something else to make yourself feel bigger.'"
Sorry but I think he has hit the nail on the head. A lot of RL fans are almost wetting themselves over this.
I now believe RL will never get anywhere beyond where it is in the UK because really, in all honesty, the fans don't want it to. The excuses about it being 'rushed' don't wash because it was almost exactly the same when they were in the Championship....rumours about them being flown to games anyone? Full of Aussies? (just like they said about Gateshead)
Of course people will maybe say 'look at the Skolars'....and that is all fine and dandy until the Skolars should start actually having any degree of success...then the knives will be out for them. What about Hemel? They are doing things 'the right way' yet I don't notice anyone proposing helping this club forward...because they are happy for them to stay where they are and not threaten the status quo.
It's not simply a case of a club failing, it's the almost audible sighs of relief/glee from some that worry me. Well IMO RL will suffer overall from this because the game will contract, Harlequins can't be far behind after them, and quite possibly end up part time again played by a lucky select few. Who will then complain about lack of media coverage and why does Uniion get all the space. This won't matter really though because ultimately, what is more important is keeping it local.
