I agree with the idea of the new club being called Celtic "something", or why not just "Celtic"?
Hopefully they will be linked to the Crusders' reserves and tap into the WRFL's development.
Now, if everything works out for the Crusaders and they end up back in Bridgend in a year's time, the second team could well drop out and resume duty in the academy leagues.
If they can form a team to keep the interest going in south wales, then great.

You do realise that that is the equivalent of telling all the players 21 and over in the semi-pro side to go play RU and they're not welcome in RL, since the reserves went to U20s?

Hopefully they have nothing to do with Crusaders apart from a player loan scheme, as the less they have to do with them, the more chance of success

with about a 3rd of the people who watched a terrible SL season watching a decent championship season. In what way is this better? we see championship clubs dont get SL support, so in whatever year Crusaders made the step up, be it 2009 or 2059 they would still need to increase their support about 3 fold

however you cut it, one SL club and one Championship 1 club is better than 1 championship club


im not embarrassed, we have a club with financial difficulties, so what every sport does

maybe you would like to point us towards an example of this organic growth which has been successful in building us a Pro SL club? i think you will clearly find it is waiting for this 'organic growth' that has kept the game in northern England for the past 100 years



the super league is the crusaders, its why they exist

for over a hundred years we saw 'organic growth' in wales and the attraction it held and the success it had
