I find it pathetic that due to the bitterness of a certain fan, he/she has decided to try and badmouth the crusaders in several threads. Only to find that the majority of SUPERLEAGUE fans actually

a) doesn't give two flying loves
b) Actually feel sorry for the crusaders fans
c) Want the crusaders to get out of this mess and become a well respected side in superleague

As shown multiple times by retards on this forum, the minority are trying to talk for the majority. One day you will realise that there is more to life that sitting behind a shield of anonymity bad mouthing fans. Whats worse is that that said fan is probably of the age of 14-18 and has nothing better to do. Probably of the loner type, and this is his big thrill on weekends! Yay Go you!

I would like to thank the majority of superleague fans for not being lulled into this stupidty and to the majority of widness fans, grow up or shut up. The crusaders will pull themselfs out of this mess. The crusaders fans, allthough there may not be many of them, are loyal to the bitter end. They have been lied too by their own Team management, had to support a team that has struggled to even compete at the required level, has an abundance of fans abusing them and the team they support, have had a team go through turmoil and yet they will still turn up to the games. They will still travel the 400+ miles for every away game in the season, Sing louder as a group of 20, than a stadium of 5000. Bring more and more fans every week to the games and STILL! act as one of the friendliest fanbases around.

So before you start shouting your mouth of again Barry and the rest of the widness haters of the crusaders . Remember your place. Remember that you were beaten out by a lowly welsh team. Remember that your team has gone through turnmoil also, that the future looked very bleak for a long time amongst your fans. Did you recieve any abuse from other teams? no, did you pull yourself back together? yes? So start acting like responsible fans to your own club. You only give your own club a bad reputation.

You obviously have not been paying attention

There are hardly any Widnes fans posting anything about this mess , they have kept well out of it generally considering they have most reason to gloat

Barry is an ozzie bar worker intent on causing trouble , nothing more

Also I doubt you will find many apart from one or two well known troublemakers actually blaming the Celtic clubn or it's fans for anything of consequence

The real animosity on all the threads relevant to this subject is aimed at the RFL , whose conduct has been appaling , and was pointed out last season and the season previous

We all knew what they were doing [ RFL ] and now it has gone wrong dont expect us to be quiet

Time for the truth , if you cannot handle the truth then you know what to do

Hmmm... I may just frame mine and put my Wigan ticket in there. I'm not selling it to anyone though.

I'm sure more than 3000 tickets have been pre-sold already.

i've already looked at framing mine with the bradford ticket too.

I think you've summariesed that well Starbug. The RFL (wrongly IMO) made various dictats that clubs went along with - due to pressures of finance and a possible 'pay-off, or the promise of SL inclusion at some fabled point in the future. The championship clubs were/are negotiating from a point of weakness NOT strength and were virtually unable to resist on their own - hence the absolvement from legal challenge in the deal.

The RFL, as part of their "vision" took along Celtic with them and as such that club's performance on and off the field is now open to scrutiny by those like me who believed the removal of P+R was wrong, their [celtic] inclusion in SL was ill-timed and ill thought out and impacted heavily on the championship.
The RFL are losing a considerable amout of credibility. Even the regional media are losing faith in our game.


Comparison. RU has a very high profile 'cheating' case. A scandal that rocked English RU involving a much respected figure in the game. Result- public scutiny and a 3 year ban for the culprit. Transparency, which has indirectly led to the governing body appearing strong, efficient and just, coming out of the mess with a level of authoritative credibility.

Compare with the last fiasco with the Aussies permits in RL. - The RFL's stance being, "Not me gov, honest. It's the club". Washing their hands of the affair and looking bloddy ridiculous.
The club saying - "Not me either"! It's the players then!!!!!!

Result, a cloudy mess of claim and counter-claim leaving the club in limbo without 6 players - some will say tuff sheite - they deserved it. Others won't.

The RFL looking bereft of any morale or ethical backbone, managerial skills or direction other than to employ political spin worthy of a "Yes Minister" script.

And the players on their way home wondering "what have I done? I've done what was asked of me"!

The whole issue is a cacophony of excuses, spin and harm minimization that leaves the sport once again looking open to ridicule from those who just love the excuse to do so.

Someone, should take the fall for this. But in comparison to the ERFU, I doubt it will happen.

To frame a jersey really isn't that much money. I have my celtic warriors, and my last ever bridgend team one that was signed by all the players after the won the league.

If you want it done tidy, it's going to set you back about £25. But you can pick up decent little frames for £15
