I've been taking an interest in the fortunes of the Crusaders this season and wondered if you had considered the possibility of setting up a Supporters Trust at all? My name is Laura Harrison and I am the Rugby League Development Officer for Supporters Direct, an organisation set up to develop and assist supporters trusts across football and now rugby league.
The club obviously has a hardcore of supporters which is great to see and a supporters trust could be a mechanism to harness this passion and use it in a productive way to support both the club, it's supporters and the game in the wider area.
Whilst the example of Rochdale Hornets is an extreme one, with the trust now in ownership of the club, there are several other examples of supporters trusts in rugby league working hand in hand with the professional club to develop the profile of both organisations and ultimately strengthening the game in the area. For example, Warrington Wolves Squadbuilder is solely focussed on youth development and works hand in hand with the development team at the club to find new ways of working. They currently sponsor the academy and reserve grade sides and have also provided kit for the scholarship players as well as other equipment.
The forming of a trust may also help to galvanise supporters who may have fallen away from the club in recent times.
If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please feel free to give me a call on 07985 628 215 or via email at laura.harrison@supporters-direct.org and I will be happy to provide more information. You can also visit our website at www.supporters-direct.org

Laura, we're very much interested in this idea. If you post something on our own supporters' forum (http://celticcrusaders.proboards.com/index.cgi?) you're probably more likely to get a decent response, and maybe you could answer a few of our questions about it all.

I've got a better idea.
I will get lots of supporters all to sign up to be in my own 'Supporters trust' whilst I then invest their 'Supporters trust fees' into various locations, thereby making me money.
Why not just say it how it is???

All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.

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!
