The newly formed South Wales club are set to continue their excellent work with juniors in the region.

I'm trying to be realistic - hey, we could always go down the preferred route of forming Wrexham Raiders and Deeside Dragons straight away, enter them in the RLC and then moan when they don't fulfill any fixtures. That'll keep the flatcappers busy.

I know the level of work and processes needed to start a successful, long-lasting amateur club and it's not easy. I hope somebody wants to step up and form an open-age club in Wrexham and I'll help them out but it might not happen overnight.

Junior development in the area is something, I am sure, the "new" Crusaders are well aware of and will pursue.

Hopefully Crusaders will be able to give Gerald at Bangor University RL a lift in his efforts to develop RL in North Wales. Its thanks to Gerald etc at Bangor that Tallaght RL survived to see 2010. A strong RL presence in North Wales can really help RL in the Republic.

Looking forward to them coming. I'll obviously be watching he Warrington game but I wil be attending other games also i.e Saints, Leeds and Wigan,

Im with Rotherham Fev Fan. The idea of Celtic was to spread the game in the south of Wales. Doing so alienated most of the rugby league heartlands when it was clear to most that the club would go the way every other team in the south of wales would go!

The move to north wales does 2 things keeps alive the team in wales claim and ensures attendances will be boosted due to away followings! Its a typical RFL farce and if they get another franchise then teams like Fax, Leigh, Widnes, Fev, Barrow etc might as well pack up!!

I never went to Bridgend in principle! I may not bother with Wrexham either!!

I agree my team widnes will never get into superleague with the

rfl in charge.I feel we are wasting our money when our youth will get picked up by a superleague club.This is so unfair on all championship clubs.I like the game to spread but not to the detremental of the heartland clubs.Widnes,doncaster etc never get help if go into adminstration, we got a 9 point penalty deduction.No offence to celtic but i believe sport should be all on equal terms. RFL

Agreed the whole thing is a farce the idea of a welsh club in SL was expansion, how far is Wrexham from Widnes or St Helens 20 - 30 miles? How much more of this lunacy do we have to put up with? I whole heartedly support expanding the game but clubs need to start at the bottom develop a fan base and and introduce rl into the community to extract the best of the local talent, if this takes 10/15 years thats what it takes.
I do not wish it but I fully expect this to fail within 2 years, it doesnt matter how much money is thrown at it, I see Noble has already started with his excuses today. The rfl was looking for expansion what it has got is division and ridicule.

So if not in dire straits, then they should keep superleague in bridgend and that is unfair on celtic.My opinion it another area wrexham, and is close to widnes.It stinks.

where next after this Crusaders ?
mid wales, anglesey, chester, ??????????????

WHAT A JOKE OUR SPORT IS

Think this club needs help, blame the rfl

For ?

For going ahead with this idiotic scheme in the first place, everyone knew this was doomed before the last season started except it would seem the rfl.

For making our game look like an amateurish shambles yet again.

For continuing with their double standards.

For ignoring the wishes of the majority.

Could go on and on and on..............

, I just wanted to hear it

dear oh dear.
