Tops.

Why?

Lets see.


The old Celtic Crusaders pretty much vomited in the faces of their loyal supporters by upping sticks and moving to Wrexham. Consequently now the majority of those 100 or so people now follow South Wales Scorpions. So the likelihood of those few people turning out to watch the newly named version of the club that screwed them over must be very slight.

Most people in Neath (that dont follow the SW Scorpions) support the Ospreys and therefore have no interest in league. Gareth Thomas wont be playing... so bang goes the few that would come along to watch him playing.

Given the fact Crusaders fans from Wrexham are starting to drift away already now the novelty is wearing off I cant see many travelling to South Wales.

I will be surprised if anymore than 100-150 Castleford Tigers fans bother to make the long journey from Yorkshire to South Wales on a Sunday. This fixture should have been played on a Saturday.. thereby giving people from Yorkshire to travel down on the Saturday and at least make a bit of a weekend out of it in Cardiff or Swansea.

Why oh why do clubs like Crusaders do this kind of thing?

you clearly dont no much about rugby league do you if you did ud see that the crusaders beat there biggest attendence recored by like double in there first game there against leeds plus they are now pushing for a place in the playoffs as they are level on points with a game in hand against the bottom club. plus they have managed to lure in some quality players and deffinately the joint ebst if not the best coaching staff in the league so the move has obviously payed off.

yes its a shame some people were let down after about 2500 fans maybee went to watch a team that won 3 out of 27 matches so fair play to them but at the end of the day its the best thing for the club. plus south wales get around 650-700 every game which isnt bad for a team that low down which is more than 100.

P.S. As I've been a really good boy this year can you disconnect Bazza's internet early as well?

Nice try though.
