Well, they should be off to a flying start with all the development work that's been done in the area.

| So if no one wanted to watch Celtic Crusaders why would anyone want to watch an even worse team?
What the hell is wrong with these people  |

Not to mention the apparent improvements being made to the Brewery Field. |

I'd say the latter.
If they are playing out of Brewery Field then the parting wasn't exactly all sweetness and roses.
Definitely a go it alone club. |

We're not talking SL here. I would think that a fair number of Crusaders fans would prefer to support a local team, if the Crusaders do move up North.
There's a ready made fan base, development work been carried out in the area for some years and the club will not have financed any of that. I would think that some of the Crusaders reserves/18s squad would sign up. That's a pretty strong start to me.

Trouble is......there isn't really a ready made fan base.
If they didnt turn up for a Superleague team why would they bother with an amateur (or should I say ANOTHER amateur) RL club? |

Unless you filled it with Islamic books? Let's say a quota of 500 Islamic books per shop. There would have to be a Qur’an Cap though. |

Thing is though Barry that those that did turn up , if they decided to stay at home instead of travelling north would go a long way to financing a Championship club numbers wise |

I think this new team could easily get crowds between 1 - 2000, which is sustainable for a div 2 / 1 side surely.
I like the names Glamorgan Celtic. Or if its owned by BFL why not a tie in ala harlequins so maybe Bridgend Ravens / celtic or Glamorgan RAvens.?
I like the sound of this more and more.
Remember with LS not involved more people will come and watch.!

Leighton Samuels is not a rich man and will never be involved in rugby league again. |
