just posted similar on the hull fc board and thought it deserved to be on here too
what an afternoon, from the moment we arrived the cru fans were great, really do hope we see them back in SL sooner rather than later, the scenes at the end of the game is something you will probably only see in our sport, i have to admit while chanting 'cru cru crusaders' it brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye knowing these great fans, doesn't matter how many, are going to lose the sport they love unless someone comes in for them. (the rfl should have backed the club like newscorp did in aus with melbourne, but thats another arguement)

Agreed. All the best to you Crusaders fans. A great day out today and you should all be proud of yourselves.

Thanks, what a day. I'm looking forward to reading Wilf's diary on Monday. Excellent performance from Hull, the Tongan Mafia, Fritzy and O'Meley were on fire!

I've just got home and i'm proud to call myself a Hull FC fan after today....
It was the most surreal experience and very emotional to be a part of it. I can only begin to understand how it feels to have your club taken away from you and I hope that those Crusaders fans can find themselves a new club to dedicate their lives to.....
I hope we gave you the send off i feel you deserve.
All the best, and you're obviously welcome to come and see the FC home or away in the future!!

The Crusader fans haven't had their club ' taken from them ' their club is unsustainable , if it was a heartland club you would be lambasting them for not having enough fans to support a SL club , sorry but your post is hypocritical

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!

This is true.
But, from my point of view, I was gutted to see the end of Blackpool and equally gutted to see the end of the Crusaders. I really hope that we see them again, even if it is just in the Championship.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back! Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!
