I've contacted pretty much everyone at the RFL who could possibly influence any action.

Are these different to the enquiries contact?

Also on the Wrexham FC fans forum, a lot of the fans who watch Wrexham seem to be staying away due to the Crusaders current owners.'"



And with the RFL doing this, the key hole is opened.

WRC and the Cru will both get more support.

I've never heard so many people on the VT agree on something.

Cracking idea.

As someone has said above, if the teams based at the racecourse ground folded the RFL would still have a stadium and Land to sell.

I agree. This is a genuinely good idea. The WRL need a place to call home (for Internationals etc.) The RFL would be in a no lose situation with a very grateful tenant (Wrexham) and a piece of land which should hold its own value wise.

Go for it RFL!! Spread the word icon_biggrin.gif

Its amazing how a decent stadium in Wrexham is only worth £1.25 million and yet a shed in castleford is worth millions and millions.

One of these days the penny is going to drop that the RFL don't have millions sitting in a Swiss bank account just waiting for an opportunity to bank roll every half-thought out idea.

The reason that the RFL haven't given the Crusaders any more cash is that they cannot afford to do so. They are unlikely to respond to any random fans' emails with a "If only we had thought of that".

They are highly unlikely to have bundles of money if they keep wasting it on half-thought out ideas like Celtic Crusaders and Toulouse in the Championship

In fact considering how good at half-thought out ideas the RFL are , I expect them to be announcing the purchase in the next few days icon_wink.gif

don't agree that the RFL should buy crusaders.........crusaders and welshRL need to find their level,if thats in thechampionship or champ1 then so be it...cos having 2 or 3welsh teams in the championship,containing nigh on 100% welsh players will do more for the development of the game in wales than having 1 teamin SL where half the team are overseas players


but.....the RFL & WRL should help maintain the crusaders academy and scholarship under 15's & under 16's teams..

Except it wont. It wont because the championship doesnt provide the visibility the game needs to grow in a place like Wales and it doesnt provide the level of competition to produce players ready for international competition.

There is also no reason to suspect having one team in SL as the pinnacle of the WRL pyramid discounts us from having 2 or 3 welsh teams with nigh on 100% welsh players in the lower leagues. They arent mutually exclusive situations
