Decent opportunity for one or even both of the Welsh clubs to get into the Championship for 2013 though with 4 new "expasnsion" clubs coming in for then there will be a heck of a lot of travelling for the "heartland" clubs and can see the likes of Oldham, Donny, Rochdale and the Cumbrians pulling out all the stops to try to make the 4.

Interesting season ahead me thinks.

even if we dont make the 4 there is a good chance of doing it the following season with four new teams in champ 1 we should be up there for promotion. just happy we have got a team. lets get a team sorted for this season and see how it looks and go from there.

Interesting times ahead if the rumour is true that Warrington Wizzards are moving to Chester and will be one of the 4 new teams, could be a few tussels between Cru and them trying to get players to sign or re-sign for future seasons.

Two clubs are enough for Wales right at the moment.

It is true, talks been going on for a while. Might be an idea to get a local coach in on the crusaders staff with local knowledge with regards to players, to stop Chester snapping them up.
