Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

As for Blackpool you cant run a club if there is no one willing to run it.

They had no backers so no team. As for the comment on the Blackpool board about the lost for the town. They havent played in Blackpool for a few seasons now.

The club has been heading for this since the first time they left Blackpool 20 years ago.


What ? , go bust or relocate to Wrexham ?

[quote="ambernotyeller"]

Once again you show how stupid you are. A match played at a location over 150 miles away from your own home will not show what your core support is. It shows how many people are willing to travel a long distance. It is further than most away fixtures and there are not many teams out there that take over 1000 to an away match of that distance. I ask again, how many do you think you would muster if you played a "home" match somewhere remote and distant like that?

Every Super League club in SL for the period 2009-11 period is there for the same reason as Crusaders: they submitted a winning licence application.


Why two choices?

Yep that's right, the club clearly didn't perform as expected and yet something happened at the end of the season and they remained in the same League as a result of an RFL decision, sound familiar?

Your Club

Our team

Our team didn't perform as well as expected and we were relegated

So not similar at all , if we had moved to Luton and changed 90 % of our staff , then maybe a bit closer

So how did you avoid relegation ?

So your team signed the players up not the club?

Both victim to bad decisions by the owners unfortunately (our previous ones I may add) I seem to remember someone recounting a conversation with their accountant when they mentioned they were going to financially support a club and was subsequently asked about their state of mind but they still did it, I guess they could only see success coming out of it at the time but then it's easy in hindsight isn't it?

Granted the old administration made massive mistakes and quite clearly run up a large amount of debt but given my experiences this year have been better on all fronts I think we may (and I stress may) come out of this much stronger and wiser.

I never said we were facing relegation we were facing something much more serious, but for the intervention of Wrexham Village and the RFL I would not be watching RL this year in Wales (was thinking about Quins being the next closest :CRAZY:)

Yes Crusaders were rushed into SL before they were ready, I cannot see anyone denying this.

Simple question would you rather have seen Crusaders go bust or find another backer in Wrexham?

I have always said that when you think you have ' made it ' that is the day you ' lose it ' , unfortunatley people dont always follow their own advice

In actual fact part of the reason for getting involved was to stop somebody else getting total control

I'm glad that some are finally seeing sense then , it was plain for all to see

I dont want to see any RL club dissapear , we have precious few as it is
