Has'nt even took them a season for things to go t1ts up, don't know whether to laugh or cry

Samuel is a compulsive liar, he says there is no financial trouble yet a few days later they may have to relocate.

Honest Guv,it's gonna be a vigorous application process which will be transparent and strict criteria will be applied.Straight up.

These posts are quite revealing too.. it seems that Mr Samuels' words do not hold much water with the Celtic faithful http://celticcrusaders.proboards.com/in ... 556&page=1 http://celticcrusaders.proboards.com/in ... 555&page=1 Even Crucru is worried about everything going on... not his normal cocky self on there is he??

It is clear that the club is having financial problems. Personally I don't want to see them go to the wall.

This statement shows exactly where the blame for this farce lies.
"I was approached in 2004 to start up a club that was capable of getting into Super League by 2009," said Samuel.
It effectively shows that the licence procedure was a complete sham. It should make bringing the RFL to court in future a very realistic possibility. The RFL have told us all a pack of lies. They truley are a vile, dishonest organisation.

To think that this time last year we were being called all sorts for stating that CC need more time in NL1 to develop and that it was too soon for them.

We know mate. Obviously Celtic not the most favourite club around here but being from the north west we've all been to wales more times than we can count.

Some very nice parts of it too, like Angelsey and IIRC Mold.

Me neither Pepe, but if it so does happen and it turns out to be beneficial for the Vikings, who cares? There's no room for sentiment it seems these days and there was certainly no sentiment down in South Wales when we missed out.
