But he would say that, wouldn't he?

He said that about Celtic Crusaders three years ago.

The same, maybe, but less?
No idea how you work that out.


This may be a fact but we have no evidence of it.
Do "the likes of the Clan" know about the content of Halifax's bid?
If so, how?


There you go again.
You make a decent point about it having been done to death (which I'll maybe take heed of) and then pop in an unwarranted bit about other fans being ill-informed.

So basically we can't win. Doesn't matter what is said it's all a lie. Bet if we had of lost our franchise you'd have been on here backing us up saying they would say that wouldn't they as we got demoted unjustly due to a tissue of lies as we Wakey fans saw it. Oh you wouldn't, what a surprise aren't certain fans very selective in their views - jog on

I don't get this at all. You're in. The merits of the system might be flawed as a flawed thing. But you made it.
If it were Fev I'd be over the moon and no amout of baiting, sniping, or embittered crapola from other fans (incl myself), would destroy the elation at the mo.

Give em the V's and move on.

True but we have a long history of being the lepers of SL and eventually it grinds - certainly doesn't take the elation away.

The clan is very well informed, he was at the club when the decision was announced, the only fan there I believe as the club was shut down at 10.30am. He has numerous connections in the rugby league world so trust me don't bother taking this any further as you could make yourselves look very silly indeed.

I don’t get the many coming on here lamenting the Trinity fans for biting back to the Halifax Chairman’s comments with the argument “How do you know what was included in Halifax’s bid?” The very same could be directed back to those very same people and the Halifax Chairman.

The simple fact is, Trinity are not an expansion club and have no reason to be in SL ahead of Halifax other than if their bid was superior.

By encouraging Fax to pass the criteria just to give the ' application ' process some credence , the RFL have shown themselves up for what they are again

Pathetic , and yes while the Fax Chairman is entitled to be upset , it is with the RFL and not yourselves he should show his anger , I have to admit I'm glad we hadn't ticked a box , because I would not have been happy if you had been placed above us

are you saying you can hold a grudge ?.....Who you?....... i don't believe it ?......... next time you'll be telling me milwards top of your Christmas card list.

we just want to get back to the league that we feel we belong in. Now and this is a big IF, if they manage somehow to come down to the championship next season and carry on for the next 3 years, they will be back in, leaving us in the championship for at least another 6 seasons.

hang tight fella , it may be sooner than 3 years . if this club or any goes into admin in the next 3 years they should be replaced that's more or less what was said . will it happen ? i don't know problem is the atmosphere is bad for quite a few clubs and if the RFL do wakey for it ...OR IF THEY HAD DONE THIS TIME then they have to the next time.

Something tells me Crusaders won't last beyond this season!

ermmmmm deffo dont think they will be here 2012

they the rfl ruined the welsh dream by fast tracking

Someone else who knows!

.... and from someone who is hardly Trinity's biggest fan.

Why would the Crusaders carry on? To rebuild for less profit for a future they know they can't sustain? Crusaders in Wrexham were in it for the cash, they said as much.

I reckon the RFL dropped one this time by guaranteeing a promotion and saying they won't expand. It ruled out the expansion possibility. I don't think they'll rule anything out next time, including going to a 15 or 16 team league. You'll get the same promise Widnes got, provide your chairman winds his neck in. If what Clan is saying is correct, and he is one of the few on here who is well-connected enough to know, the blame might lie nearer to the chairman than he would like.

The more the Halifax chairman speaks the more of a joke he looks, sore loser.

They couldn't even put a 9's night on properly, when we were there they closed the drinks/snack bar half way through the evening

Wrexham Fc's players have gone on strike as they've been told there is no chance of them getting paid this month as the money has run out. As they are owned by the same company I think its highly unlikely that the Crusaders will be around in its current guise next season.

if your stadium is built in the next 18 month i will run around the new ground with a fire work up my A$%e and have a tattoo saying richard lewis for mayor.

The rfl is corrupt end of. Halifax should have been given that chance

FFS not just about facilities

Now they tell us !!!!!
On Red Passion, just seen this.

"I genuinely don't think there is sufficient interest for a team other than super league in Wrexham. As sad as it is what has gone on (and I really enjoyed watching the Crusaders), a championship or C1 team would get a 500ish max at most once the season was up and running. Super League in Wrexham was great but we aint a rugby league town and I can't see many interested in dropping down the leagues (particulalry when there is no promotion to aim for) and the opposition are not exactly crowd pullers".

im not saying it is just about that paddy field but you should just fail on that alone. you have been saying your building a new stadium for about 10 years

You sure it's only Bradford you hate?

Will hold you to that and sell tickets!
