Oh sorry i did not realize you were a fan of the second team in Wigan

I think you will find support will build and its not the expansion you should be against its the RFL not having the bottle to remove a Super League team in the last round of licenses.

And if your team had been in Super League and played like last year you would have not won a game. Also the RFL saved you from being in Championship 1 this season because Gateshead had problems so Leigh should not have any gripe with the Curusaders being in Super League.

Having a team in Wales can only do the game good and bring in more Uk talent to League. And you must also see the RFL saved London on more than 1 occasion so a team in Wales has to be given at least 6 years. Just look how well Catalan did at the end of there first 3 years time is one thing a fledgling club should be given.

By the way thanks for the Bricks for Wigan civic in the 70s

Why should the re location bring in more fans , the lack of a top notch union club and any decent football teams should be a clear indication of what support for sports clubs there are in the area

Yes they did finish second in NL 1 in 2008 , and as we now know much of that was down to them employing players on illeagal Visa's , I wont even go into the salary cap issue [ you being a Wigan fan know all about cheating those ]

Just why exactly should fans of non SL clubs support SL clubs ? , exactly what benifit will our clubs get from the success or failure of the Crusaders ? , You say we should support the ' sport ' , does the ' sport ' support our clubs ? ,

We already have a truly national game , it's called the Championships

Now if you had ginger hair starbug, I'd swear your Dad would have spent the early years of 1960 in Barnsley!!!!

As long as we get more fans through the gate than Harlequins I am very confident Crusaders can get another franchise place and push on from there.

We have as good an off the field set up now, with the takeover, as virtually every other Super League club. That is personel, ground, facilities not even taking into account the fact the club are still viewed as an expansion area.

All we need now are the fans to buy the merchandise and fill the ground. This will go hand in hand with results on the field as it usually does. This sadly, will be the hardest couple of things to achieve. I do feel though, that if the RFL give quins a franchise spot (which is, let's be honest, virtually certain) then they will have to give us one as we have as good a set up off the field and will have more fans over a much shorted period.

rhys hanbury and rocky trimarchi apparently signed, and weller hauraki is set to join. (THE SUN)

Willie Mason will apparently look over the Crusaders deal this week and make a decision. Also in talks with a aussies that owns a british passport (League Express)

Cru, your biggest problem is that you're running out of time to sell merch and market, like, serrriously low on time.
Has there been ANYTHING in the wrexham papers?
