I'm not anti-Wales and am certainly for expansion. So I really am happy to be convinced that this will work there and quickly.
But let's face it, the only expansion success has been Catalans - all credit to them and not the RFL. Surely THAT'S the model we should look to be repeating?'"
The problem is that Catalan isn't really expansion at all. RL was already established in the region - the SL side just tapped into that ready-made pool of support and players. The only other place where similar conditions apply is Tolouse, and they're already in the programme. |

The dreaded "M" word may rear its head again from the RFL .
Remember at the inception of SL the RFL wanted Clubs to merge . Hull and Rovers , Cas ,Fev and Wakey . Hudds and Halifax etc .... That may now be for some less wealthy SL Clubs the only option?

That will be the same Catalans who had to have their Sky money for the next season while they were still taking part in the current one and the same Harlequins who were allowed to welch on all their debts and re-start with a clean financial sheet then? Thats what I call expansion!

Farcical. And all because nobody thought to check out Samuels' chequered past.
Feel really sorry for the Crusaders fans and the folk in South Wales who've worked hard on building a fledgling infrastructure there. I hope that the new Championship side can tap into that and keep the good work going. |

| Quote: Kosh "Lots and lots again as well as this
This isn't science.
There are no links to provide because the information comes from talking to people living and working in the area. There is actually some decent information buried in the threads on the VT - even died-in-the-wool 'flatcappers' admit the good work that has been done there and the potential that exists in South Wales.
'"
So, essentially, it all boils down to your gut feeling that South Wales will be (edited would have been!  ) successful quickly versus mine that it will take years and be costly.
Fair enough. 
I'm curious about the Samuel issues. He's still the owner, so what has he done that's so bad? |

I'm interested in what you would consider to be evidence of potential if not testimony from people actually involved in RL in the area. And why you think that your 'gut feeling' is superior to the actual experiences of people in the region.
Samuels appointed a management team that basically ran the club into the ground while trying to maximising the return on his investment. He then screwed up the move to Newport and decided to pull the plug on the club when it became clear that he'd sucked as much cash out of them as he could.
There were plenty of people warning that he'd do this at the time of Crusaders promotion to SL. Sadly they weren't listened to.

It would appear you can now book Wrexham folks!

The two "on the road games" look like being v Harlequins and the Bulls.
And our game seems to have been changed to a Sunday afternoon fixture.
Great stuff. |

hope you are right with our game being sunday afternoon, as it is the first day of a weeks holiday, (the saturday before would have been tricky to get off )

This is Poorhouse Lane. And this is Neil, the rovers supporter who leads an exciting double life. For when Neil sponsors RLFANS an amazing transformation occurs. [color=#80BF40:1y1okols]Neil is Cabbageman[/color:1y1okols]. Ever alert for the call no injury too small!

2hrs 40 mins according to AA so leave there 5.30 still be home for 8.30-9.00 not too bad
the ground looks decent holds 10,500(seems to add to more but the kop is unused) and prices for football for 2009 where about £18 to get in.
