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.

It's been going on quite a while now and we still know very little about how much debt there is (Is £3 million accurate?), who ran it up (Is only £1 million of it "historic debt") or who it is owed to (Were HMRC paid or not?).

It is, therefore, rather hard to say whether Crusaders really are better run.

All questions that we don't know the answers to, barring what little information there is it would only be an assumption but I think it's largely (but not wholly) Bridgend based on:

CCJ's seem to be Bridgend based
Rental agreement is based on the Brewery field
The players involved in the pensions payments appear in the main to be the 6 who were deported
Not sure on tax but if it's Wrexham what tax would be liable on a full cap for one year? (and I don't think we were up to the cap)

And once again you get all insulting, grow up and take a chill pill.
Cas would get a lot more than 1122 if they played on the moon,

You have a hard core of around 1200 and should have been left to develop into a club that was ready for superleague.


The mess you are in is down to the RFL pushing too hard, which will end up in the club folding, If you had been left alone , with some success in the championship, then your fan base would have grown and the club would not be in debt through chasing the RFL's dream.
Then when you were ready, get you in superleague and it would have all been so different.

Good luck sonny, and dont forget.................... chill , theyre not all out to get you

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?

Something happened at another (expansion) club in Leighs case, so a little different to this one, and its still not definite you will make 2011 season

I think the london village gave that away. doh

But as the quins are on the cadge , then same as, I suppose

The game is Knackered with all these failing expansion experiments.
