Me too.

I watched it on TV but much better in real life.

All a result of going to Millennium Magic (the first one) on a whim. Never looked back since.

That was the reason I was gutted it left here as I know there are a lot more like us who would be hooked.

yeah thats my story - especially the leeds bradford game - what a cracker!

What's worse than the Wrexham Cashchasers wearing the Celtic Crusaders' shell like a corpse, is that the RFL seem to be favouring a Cashchasers dependent team (also run by Mike Turner) in Neath. NEATH of all places.

We, the betrayed ex-supporters of Celtic Crusaders want an INDEPENDENT team, free of interference from the richard-head Turner and RFL crisis management teams (great THEY turned out to be too eh?)

The flatcappers have been having an I-told-you-so fest over the incompetence of the now Wrexham Cashchasers management.

Here's my prediciton. More accurate than flatcappers, Nostradamus, Mystic Meg or the Book of Revelation.

If NEATH are given a dependent team on the new contractionism Northern team in Championship 1 and Bridgend is denied its independent team, pro-Rugby League in Wales will definitely, DEFINITELY fail. Within a single season.

Nobody in Neath is interested in Rugby League and they have done NOTHING for the sport. They have a Union region and most of them actively hate League for events of 30 years ago.

And Bridgend supporters do not like Neath.

That is a simplification of the situation.

But mark my words.

You deny Bridgend a team in Championship 1 and give one to Neath, I ABSOLUTELY guarantee you the game will be dead in S Wales within a season.

Grendel I'm really sorry about this...but owing to all the uncertainties surrounding Celtic Crusaders I have signed for the Catalans Dragons as a supporter for next season.

It was a close thing between Celtic, Wakefield and Les Cats...but then the Crusaders relocated and a bloke called Big Gay Al over on the Wakefield board banned me for not joining them...so Im afraid im now a Catalans supporter.

Barry, good luck with them.

Why would I care that you don't sign with the Wrexham Cashchasers?

They're not my team. They're just another Northern contractionist team.

F**k 'em!

I am afraid I disagree with you Grendel and that RL will not be dead in South Wales if Bridgend don't get a side in the Championship.

Bridgend isn't the only place in Wales that is fostering and developing RL
