Every Super League club in SL for the period 2009-11 period is there for the same reason as Crusaders
Why two choices?

Yep that's right, the club clearly didn't perform as expected and yet something happened at the end of the season and they remained in the same League as a result of an RFL decision, sound familiar?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Your Club
Our team
Our team didn't perform as well as expected and we were relegated
So not similar at all , if we had moved to Luton and changed 90 % of our staff , then maybe a bit closer
So how did you avoid relegation ?

So your team signed the players up not the club?
Both victim to bad decisions by the owners unfortunately (our previous ones I may add) I seem to remember someone recounting a conversation with their accountant when they mentioned they were going to financially support a club and was subsequently asked about their state of mind but they still did it, I guess they could only see success coming out of it at the time but then it's easy in hindsight isn't it?
Granted the old administration made massive mistakes and quite clearly run up a large amount of debt but given my experiences this year have been better on all fronts I think we may (and I stress may) come out of this much stronger and wiser.
I never said we were facing relegation we were facing something much more serious, but for the intervention of Wrexham Village and the RFL I would not be watching RL this year in Wales (was thinking about Quins being the next closest )
Yes Crusaders were rushed into SL before they were ready, I cannot see anyone denying this.
Simple question would you rather have seen Crusaders go bust or find another backer in Wrexham?

Something happened at another (expansion) club in Leighs case, so a little different to this one, and its still not definite you will make 2011 season
