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 |

the crusaders regularly winning on welsh tv in the championship would give a better exposure than an occasional defeat on sky
wales are effectively a championship level nation, playing together regularly can only help the national side'"
Stop being sensible Hopie , this is the VT  |

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Bear in mind that Crusaders on Welsh TV isn't a guaranteed thing. Scorpions have no TV coverage for instance. |

There is hope the deal for the University to buy the Racecourse will go through and Moss and Roberts will get shot of the football club to the Trust which would leave the door wide open for Crusaders with a ground sorted to reform and play in either the Championship or Championship 1.
Hopefully escaping with about £2m in their back pockets will be enough otherwise it will be curtains for all pro-sport in North Wales. |

I suspect the RFL and the SL clubs will have their hands full financially, dealing with the image rights etc tax disaster that I fear is soon to befall the game.

Is that still the case? I thought it had all been sorted now through them clarifying some rules and eliminating the loopholes? |
