The simple answer to the whole franchise system is the RFL put us in we asked the question and they gave us the answer, would you expect anyone to say 'no thanks we'll wait a bit and see what happens'? Now for a team that's been around for as long as Widnes has that's got to be tough to take, but fans rising to the bait every two minutes is just getting very tedious now.
I only started following Crusaders last year and I know my club are struggling and am not overly surprised at that (it's a very ambitious project to build a big RL presence in Wales) We'll have highs and we'll have lows but my biggest disappointment is that the whole of RLfans forum is fast becoming one big troll involving Crusaders.
P.S. forgot to say good luck on Sunday in the last post.'"
 Cheers
If you get through all these latest reports and make it in to next season unscathed then I feel you may survive, the biggest criminals are the RFL for not seeing that you were not quite ready for SL
Good luck all the best |

All I would add to this is
YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY.
That is clearly the RFL's thinking and they should be congratulated on that front for taking the chance on us. We know what has happened before to the lieks of Widnes ,Leigh and Haliax so why shouldnt we be given the chance????
If it doesn't work out for us we will use the lessons learnt and come back stronger.
Personally however ...Other than Widnes and Halifax no other club in the Championship would stand a chance competiting in Super League at the moment. FACT

Not surprising really Rob given that we dont get 1.2 million off the RFL and we can only spend a quarter of the amount you can
The playing side is not really the issue is it
The issue is , do the RFL and the other SL clubs want a welsh team in SL ?
If the answer to that is yes then they should all be dipping into their pockets to make sure you can stay there |

Maybe so, but last night I saw a fat lass singing her head off in Bridgend. Don't know if it's relevant! |

Fev fan, good eyesight mate to see so many hundreds of miles. How do you compensate for curvature of the Earth?
It ain't over till it's over and while I am braced for TODAY'S bad news Crusaders story at any time I still am not feeling like the club is dying and having beena Celtic Warriors union club supporters i DO know what it feels like. This ain't it.

Widnes is in Lancashire: www.forl.co.uk/ but by all means carry on telling everyone you're from Cheshire. It saves all those people in Liverpool, Manchester, Southport, Warrington, Barrow, St Helens, Blackburn, Bolton, Wigan etc, etc. the embarrassment of being associated with you. |

The rfl have said virtually the same and they are helping Crusaders through the difficult first season.
What business do Widnes fans have on here other than that?
None as far as I can see.
They didn't stop whinging when I was on their site laughing at their plight but they come on here funnily enough roughly around the time of rumours of us going into admin and they get all self defensive. Awww bless em.'"
and didn't comical ali assure the people of baghdad that the americans were not in the city, even though the tanks were clearly visible behind him............ |

Yes, but would the rfl stand back and let Crusaders tell a pack of lies if they knew different.
I don't think so.
So we have Crusaders staff, players and the rfl saying we're finding it difficult but not going bust.
Who do you want to say it next, the Pope? |
