| Good news. This should have been the way the Crusaders were put into SL. Build from the bottom up.

| That's great news, think most fans have got a soft spot for the hard core of Crusaders fans that stuck with them through Super League, they were just thrown in at the deep end and it was an impossible task to compete.

And the Welsh Derby this year too!
Anyone know if that's a first in the history of the game?

| Good news and hats off to North Wales Cru.
The liquidation and formation of the new club was a last straw for me and I can't really justify travelling to North Wales for Championship 1 rugby league.
I'm throwing my full support behind the South Wales Scorpions, and before anybody has any comments I watched them too for the first two years of existence, and look forward to the up coming season starting Sunday at Rochdale.

I'll sort your quotes out for you...
I actually agree with you Starbug, so I'm not quite sure what you think 'I believe'.
I believe if Crusaders didn't have such a moronic and impatient owner the first time round they could by now have been a really solid Championship club challenging Widnes for the SuperLeague spot. Alas they didn't and wern't. They turned out to be a huge gamble that backfired spectacularly.
At least out of all this mess we now have two pro Welsh clubs with a bit of potential, rather than none. I wish Crusaders and SWS all the best.

Thats the beauty of having two clubs isn't it?. hopefully you can both grow together with a proper rivalry.

For what it's worth the name change was the final straw for me above all else.
As it was they had to change their name to meet the RFL requirement that the club represented an area.
I'm not North Welsh and wouldn't feel right cheering on a team with that name. It wouldn't feel like my club.
I experienced Super League and enjoyed it although it wasn't the most fun getting battered more than often. I'm still watching rugby league and enjoying the craic which is the main thing for me.
I would change my name but a few people on here will not know who to have a dig at so I'll keep it the same for ease of forum use.

I had one club and one that conveniently rose from the ashes of the departing Celtic Crusaders in South Wales.
If Scorpions weren't about I would not be a fan of North Wales Crusaders. I wish them well but just do not see them as my team. Crusaders were still an incarnation of the original club and the administration was a tester but liquidation and the name change and in effect a new club meant I had to call it a day.
Good luck to them but not my club.

Hopefully the passion is there for the SWS and you and others can help the club grow

Let's hope so.
It is going to be hard work in the rugby union stronghold that is South Wales but hopefully a promotion will help that along.
Fingers crossed.

You got that right.
Stats like this only go to show how badly the club was being run when the new club with a bit of thinking can market a Championship 1 club better than a Super League club to potential season ticket buyers.
I'll leave it there though as those idiots aren't worth talking about.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's the first one for a hundred years or something daft like that. I don't think it's the first though but much more knowledgeable RL folk than me will no doubt tell you for certain.

| The last derby took place on 27th December 1910.
Merthyr Tydfil beat Ebbw Vale 2-0 in front of 4,000 fans.
A penalty awarded in the 79th minute was followed by choruses of "take the f****** two" (apparently )

| You can buy the season tix online and they are very cheap (£70?).
I may buy one myself even though I'm unlikely to get to any games.
