Nobody in RL really cares about you and despite the RFL trying to bail you out, you will undoubtedly fail.
Give me 'Fax, Widnes or Leigh any day of the week.
Mickey Mouse joke club (that's not actually at all funny).
Enjoy your pitiful existence ya leek-munching interlopers.
I care about celtic, and quite alot of other fans do, i have heard people from virtually every club say that they want celtic to do well, just because you want crusaders to fail dont think that the opinion is universal. In there first sl season they are on the same level for crowds as salford, and they are wipping boys, with a more succesful team and a few years to put down roots i can see them being a succes like catalans.
when the score got to 50 we shouted for more, up popped brad davis went over for four.....
......and its no nay never no nay never no more will we face religation......

...but there's the rub.... Catalans STARTED with sixty years of roots. If you don't know, Catalans Dragons are an amalgum of St Esteve and Treize Catalans, the two most successful teams from the French domestic RL, which goes back to the 1930s.
My concern, from the outset, was that Crusaders were trying to build top-down, not growing a base for an application to SL in 3-12 years' time. I want Crusaders to work. I've always raised the fear that it was being rushed, and that a a failure this time would kill off Welsh development for decades to come.
Let's hope it really is all a bed of roses (and leeks and daffodyls)

yes thanks i am aware of the history of catalans. I dont think it was ever going to be a bed of roses, it was always going to be a hard first year for celtic, the next few years will be the acid test, but i think that they have alot of potential and will soon (next few years) be outstripping quins for crowds by a good distance and i think they could overtake a few heartland clubs on the field as well. Time will tell.

Indeed. We played them in the first Cup Winners Cup, Arthur Atkinson scoring.
