forget the negativity? Are you real? Not only have you still got embittered old flatcappers like myself who've been sceptical about the "welsh project" from the off. The rfl have hacked off the very people the welsh club was introduced for e.g. New fans from south wales brought to the game! Instead we now have a hybrid club, that in all likelihood won't have the home following of the club in bridgend but hey ho, "let's cash in on a projected increased away support! Wrexham has littl to offer rugby league developmentally and it's location is an affront to those who have supported it since it's inception! Renounce Negativity? You'll be believing in father christmas next! |

My word you ex Colliers are very stubborn and bitter men. Give Wrexham a chance before spouting like that. Its new money into the game, a wealthy Chairman and an excellent Stadium. S Wales may yet succeed in their quest with an all Welsh Outfit but if you feel that furthering this great game of ours is to replace Crusaders with Fev then God help us. |

As I suspect the majority of Salford/Wakey fans will be when/if they don't get a licence next time. It leaves you that way!! Give Wreham a chance???? Like Bridgend had the chance you mean??? And that left the majority of their fans feeling embittered too. I perhaps now have something in common with S Welsh RL fans!!

Where have i said that??? Don't misrepresent my words. All have have ever wanted is an equal and fair chance for my club to succeed at the highest level! If it never happens on a level playing field, c'est la vie. But as said on another thread, we did actually win the thing once!! |

I really feel for the fans left behind in Bridgend. Yes the facilities are there in Wrexham, but it wont take off the locals only care about football. If the football club ever became successful again & got the crowds in they'd push the crusaders out. I cant believe S.L have agreed to it....shame on them

Well, I know at least two people who will be going along to watch the Crusaders in Wrexham and that's my cousin and his wife who live in Llangollen. They're well pleased that Superleague is coming to North Wales as they have had to rely upon their local pub to watch matches (there's quite a following in the local pub apparently, and many have said to my cousin that they are going to be watching the Crusaders next season). North Wales may well be interested in soccer but there are also a lot of ex-pat Northern English living there as well as many Welsh people who, according to my cousin anyway, have enjoyed watching Sky matches. So I don't think it is necessarily a dead end. It could take off. I hope both clubs take off. That would be excellent. It suits Nobby that he's getting a great big batch of Aussies to play for him since he likes to import no matter which team he is coaching. Hopefully what he says about developing local talent isn't all media orientated hot air and he will put his back into that side of things like John Dixon clearly did in south Wales. Remembering the way the Welsh played for their home country in the European Cup, I'd say that if those same guys played for the South Wales team then they should have little problem competing at Championship 1 level. I'm keeping fingers crossed that all the work done in South Wales will really start to bear fruit now that young players have potentially two options open to them so far as playing Rugby League is concerned. Assuming the Crusaders survive (obviously), then a good pathway has opened up to aspiring RL players in Wales. That's great IMO and well worthy of support from the rest of the RL community. |

So I don't think it is necessarily a dead end. It could take off. Great stuff. The 1995 Rugby League World Cup and successful cross-code transfers around the same time made quite an impression on people living in North Wales. While there may not be 1000s of active Super League fans, there are lots of people with a passing interest who may now be tempted to follow their new, local club. |
