I remember all these comments coming from fans of other SL teams not so long ago. Rugby league was always thought of as being a really good sport for sticking with your fans but it did not happen for the original fans of the Crusaders. Before anyone says anything about moving on I have to say that I was not a supporter of the team when they played in Bridgend. Of all the people that used to go there though, the biggest mouths that used to let off steam about being deserted by the old management, they travel to Wrexham to watch. As I said, I am not a supporter but I feel that a lot of the supporters now will not keep travelling to watch them over the long term. A great number of them were just hangers on who never supported any team before the Crusaders started up. The same is now happening at theRacecourse. Another reason why I think they will not survive the long term is the fact that the owner stated from the start that he was only interested in getting his hands on the franchise was solely to save the footbal team who were on the brink of extinction until then.
On another note, when the franchises come up for grabs again, I have heard from fans of a number of teams that they are going to start a petition to drop the Crusaders in favour of a Northern team because of the fact that the team at this time are not the team who were awarded the licence and therefore should not be readmitted due to breaking almost all the terms that were originally agreed.
As a Bradford Bulls fan I have enough problems of my own but I cannot agree that they deserve to bein SL and look forward to seeing them play the likes of Keighley and Featherstone in the future

Quote: port64 "Well heres 5 facts

1) the Crusaders under Noble have now won 3 times as many games as John Dixon did last season - if you include the cup game against York.

2) We are not bottom of the Superleague nor will we finish bottom !

(In fact some folk believe we may well make the play-offs with most of our remainding games home in Wales)

3) The South Wales anti-League fans have stopped saying " you won't last"

4) We have just done our first double

5) we have our own welsh feeder side - the Scorpions'"


On your number 3 fact,they are obviously yawnion fans then,they have'nt got a clue .

Quote: tank123 "You got to love Trolls.

Albertwilliams has got to be the worst attempt every. Does he not realise that his own club is up the creek without a paddle. He says only reason you moved up north was due to the football team almost going to the wall. Rumors are that the Bulls are going to play home games at the Bradford City ground. Wether true or not the rumors have surfaced this year. And what about the crap re supporters not going to Wrexham. Dont have a go at them just becuase the gates at the Bulls have dropped. Where has the thousands of glory hunters gone. More than likely siting at home praying the could get Nobby back. What does he get ohhh yes POTTER. The saints fans wants POTTER out now not at the end of the season. Even worse rumor on the Wigan forum is that Feka is on his away on a 2 year deal. Feka is the prop who cant get his place in the Warriors side at the moment as hes not up to Maguires standard as he only plays 20 min maximum. We even played Tuson as a prop on Friday. Tuson is a young player just coming through the ranks at Wigan.

So instead of coming on another teams forum and having a right moan you have a crap coach, crap team and crap stadium with a dark future ahead. At least the crusaders have a decent stadium and a better coach. Tbh the more i read your post its obvious your a bitter South Walian jealous that the crusader side now looks to have a future somehthing it did not have 6 months ago and something that the Bulls dont look like having given the your stadium is very poor abd your over reliance on signing over paid imports on a look out for a wage. Youve had over 10 years in a Salary Cap era to sort out the youth development in Bradford and yet bugger all is coming through. Burgess is the only talent to come throuh it ion the last 3-4 seasons and hes gone.

Dam need to go im ina total state of depression give the beating the Wire gave Wigan on Friday cant cope with the bleakness of knowing were in the play offs so soon. At least if the Crusaders played Featherstone they could beat them. Bradford are that bad they would not. Your not making the play offs this season thats how bad you have become.'"


People are giving bradford alot of flack on this thread, just because a troll, who as we already know is already ballcocks, said he was from bradford.

Harsh on bradford i feel.

Anyway well done crusaders for a much improved season.

Wish i was going to the match on sunday.

How does everyone fancies crusaders chances?

One important correction I have to make there port64.

The South Wales Scorpions ARE NOT A FEEDER SIDE to anyone. They are run independantly from
the Crusaders which is important in developing a base here in the South.

I also don't consider the 'Crusaders' have achieved any 'doubles' as yet but thats just me.

I agree with the point about Scorpions not being a feeder club but surely beating Les Cats home and away is a double Rob?
