To Grendel

Just out of curiosity, if Leighton Samuel had been successful in moving Crusaders to Newport, which is about 30 miles away I think, would you have still supported them?

jc, fair enough mate, I take your point. I think I was just smarting because the season started with the WC and I was not watching RL like I should have been.

..............

Wrexham goon, I think you've hit the nail on the head there. It's mostly about mileage. I was not overly happy about the Newport move, but felt I couldn't really complain about 30 miles so went to RP and despite all the knackers about the UKBA six and the subsequent stuffing we took, I was raw from the singing (I was stood near Crucrucru for much of it - even though now we are in opposition in our views) in support of our beleaguered club. It had been a hard season on AND off the field, but there was a stubborn unity amongst the fans. 30 miles was nothing. Newport was our new home (for 2 years until we returned to a new stadiun in Bridgend Turner assured us).

Then we were flogged off to Moss and the remnants of the team were spirited off 150 miles away.

I CAN'T do a 300 mile journey every 2 weeks. Unlike many of the childless supporters, the retired supporters or the spoiled brats of well off parents (Hill), I have neither the time nor the money. Well I have the money, but other things that the family enjoy would suffer instead.

HOWEVER WG, I could hypocritically justify accepting all the other shiit, if the club were CLOSER.

So yes, in short, it's all about the mileage.

Just to bring this back on topic what a great start to the season for the club at it's new home.

A sell out that was never close in South Wales when at Brewery Field and a very spirited performance that was very encouraging. Holding the champions and matching them for 65 minutes is no disgrace having had no pre season friendlies. Great hope for the season ahead.

What with the Scorpions starting off in Neath and Crusaders getting such an impressive crowd the future of Welsh Rugby League certainly looks bright.

So lets have a look at this 'bright start for Welsh Rugby League' in a little more detail.

A club full of illegal Australians which couldnt survive in South Wales moved to North Wales, changed names, hired more Australians to replace the illegal ones where they are ground sharing with a football team. Record so far...played 1....lost 1 ... points difference... minus 28. One Welsh player in the side that got whipped by Leeds.

My god. I would hate to see what a bad start looked like.

Can somebody ban this pillock?

Why??

It's true?!!

It's true and you know it is!!

Mate, it was never off topic.

Go into his profile, look under his avatar then add foe, and all his post vanish.


Trolls away!

What talking about distance being the reason you don't support the club anymore isn't off the topic of 'A sell out likely'?

I think it is. Quite a way off topic to be honest.

It's still linked to the original topic and arguing about it won't make any difference

Who asked you ya t1t?

So , there was a statement that , " A sell out is likely " , it was in all intensome purposes a ' sell out '

End of thread

Or we see a natural progression of the thread

I wasn't aware that one had to be 'asked' for ones opinion whilst partaking in an online open discussion on a Rugby League forum.

My mistake.

How on earth is somebody who is never going to watch another game played by Crusaders live staying on topic?

In fact how is it staying on topic of the whole forum. If anything it is for fans of the club and people who are interested. The person who is commenting is neither in my eyes.

As Starbug says, original threads are a starting point for an expanded discussion.

I was answering Wrexham Goon's question, which was a development of a development form the original thread.

I accept you don't like what I say these days about your club Cru, but others seem happy to engage, even if it's to oppose.

What would you prefer?

POST 1: Ooh the Crusaders are great!

POST 2: Yes they are aren't they?

POST 3: I agree!!! lol

POST 4: Me too! rofl

AJHwarrior: And they're sexy. lol rofl lmao

POST 6: They're the best!

I mean I know it must be irritating that the past won't just disappear and that people are still ticked off, but them's the facts. Just argue back! It's more fun.
