i am absolutely gutted at the loss of the license for cru, hopefully crusaders will develop even further and come back stronger in 2015.................you lot are some of the best fans i have met in 50 years of watching the game.

Would that be the Wrexham fans or the Bridgend fans?

the one's from Neath ?

Feel sorry for the Crusaders fans, the club has been mismanaged by the board. Wakey fans had been aware for a while that Crusaders nplayers had not been paid.

Great fans the Crusaders lot. Always make noise and get behind their team despite really struggling on the field this season. The crowd you took to the Giants in teh play-offs last season was a credit to you all. I really hopes it's not the end for you. If you were ableto settle down into the championship for 3 years at the lst licensing stage, you would have been OK and had a really strong bid this time round. Hope you build from now on

I'm gutted for the Cru fans. They are lovely people and very loyal. I loved my visits to Wrexham. This is all a real mess and such a shock. I hope something good comes out of it all, although at present it is just looking, well, like a real mess. Damn shame.

Really feel for you. Met loads of great Crusaders fans in both wrexham and Cardiff.

Hope you stick with RL and do not blame the sport for the mickey poor management you have had.

Best of luck with the rebuild of the club. Regroup, rebuild and come back stronger next time around. I don't think there are any real winners from todays shambles.

Actually feel physically sick. Robbed by two money grabbing s. Feel worse for the players, none of them deserved to be treated like this

As mentioned above ..Great set of fans . Never met one that wasn't up for the craic . Never met one that was lacking in the humour department . Good experiences every time I encountered Cru fans . Will miss them . The fans of a few other teams could learn a lot from them .
To be fair they should never have been allowed into SL . They just were not ready . But as they were allowed to join us , the majority of fans of other clubs welcomed them . Had some fun . They had some good results . IIRC Bulls were the first team they beat . That was a time of much merryment among the rest of SL .

I am gutted for the fans . It is them that will suffer the most . They have put a lot of effort into following the Cru . Especially the fans from the south . Hopefully they can now go back down to south Wales and build from there .
BTW I still have Rob's scarf .

Rob . PM me and I will mail it to you matey .

Thanks to all for your kind words. The owners are a disgrace and the way they strung supporters along and left them to find out on announcement day was a disgrace.

Like fellow Crusaders fans, its broke me. We all genuinely did love Rugby League here in Wales. Despite there only being a fairly small number of us, we'd do anything for our club and really warmed to Rugby League.

Sadly, being realistic, I think this is the end of Crusaders. I will follow them wherever they play or whatever league they are in, but I think they'll fold the club. It won't be able to cope in the Championship.

Hopefully, and I'm sure our fans will, we'll turn to supporting the South Wales Scorpions or a fellow Super League/Championship/1 club if we fold. I genuinely hope so, as this is a great sport.

A real shame for the fans and staff, including players. You were pushed in too early, just hope you can survive and come back stronger. But you're going to need a reliable investor who's prepared to lose plenty of money.

Quite correct. Had Celtic Crusaders remained at Bridgend and developed from that location they would have increased their crowds and would have progressed on the field and in the community.

But they were mismanaged and their management did not have dreams of glory but dreams of money.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the announcement, what a total shambles. Hope all the players get fixed up elsewhere sooner rather than later and hope all you guys who turned up to watch and supported your team will carry on enjoying rugby league. All the best to you all (players and fans that is!)

I'm gutted for the fans of this club. You came to Odsal in '09 and posted your first ever win. Although devestated the Bulls had sunk to new lows we applauded you off the field, and recieved applause ourselves from the small but vocal bunch for our gesture. Although I've always been a Bulls fan, I was furious at the RFL for letting Gateshead go down the river to Hull, basically ending an interest in Rugby League that was definetly starting to grow in the North East.

The RFL allowed a section of that fanbase to be alienated from the game with the move to North Wales, an area never before suggested as somewhere for expansion. You are getting stick on here because the joke of our governing body stitched other clubs first, before allienating Welsh Rugby League fans from the sport. It's unfair for fans of other clubs to have a go at the fans of this one, how is any of this mess their fault?

Having said all that, I hope the players walk out of the club, due to the shocking way they have been treated. George Riley said yesterdays announcement raised more questions than it answered, and answers are badly needed.

I hope Welsh RL fans realise the RFL have alienated several fanbases before, and yesterday made a mockery of the greatest game. Carry on following our sport.
