Good. Lets smash um with fifty!!

With great attacking entertaining rugby league

thay cannot have sold many season tickets due to the uncertanty of where they will be playing their home matches.the rfl have a lot to answer for. clubs like widnes halifax etc must think they have been hard done to,i wonder how many points they have actually accumilated for super league status.nothing against the club but others must be annoyed.it is about time the RFL got a bit more up to speed instead of constantly shooting themselves in the foot.

Crusaders move to North Wales confirmed, confirmed late on friday afternoon, to be played at Wrexham AFC racecourse ground

They will play eleven games at Wrexham and two at Neath.

It would make sense if the two at Neath were Quins and Catalan, but this Rugby League we are talking about.

It's interesting they have said that as it just goes to show you need to keep grounds earning money all year round unless you are the Man Utd's of this world.

So it might appear a poor motivation but at least they see a need for the RL club to be there and it's not some nutters whim having a play at being a RL chairman.

Being confirmed in a press conference on SSN later today.

EDIT: The reaction from Richard Lewis will also be on.

Will he explain the RFL procedure for expansion? I think it will be something like this:

1 - create club in remote region where rugby league isn't well known
2 - gain small fanbase that could be bigger if marketing was used
3 - when club goes bust sh*t on an established club in the heartland and re-brand new club by either moving them across city several times, moving them over 100 mile away or merging them with a heartland club also in debt. Either way, they must lose the identity they have created.
4 - having *ed off the whole of rugby league plan next expansion area following same steps and making same mistakes. When questioned on it mention the 1 success story.

For the 1st game against the super league/world champions they should try and fill the place by chargin £5 ADULTS AND KIDS IN FOR £1.

Also confirmed that Wigan will play at Wrexham. Harlequins and Bradford will play in South Wales.

It doesnt look a bad ground, we will visit worse during the season

I used to go regular when I followed Latics in the lower leagues and it was always a pleasure to visit. Lovely place and a nice easy jaunt down the M6 travel wise. Much as I think its a farce that they've ended up there, I could think of worse grounds they could have moved to. I hope it works out for them and the locals support Rugby League.

Lets hope we can take 2000 fans to wrexham and have a good day out.

Fans better buy tickets in advance to save 5pound after seeing thier ticket prices on thier website.
