Rupert,

winding up the natives?

I think you overestimate the effect of you pointless posts.

They can't be that pointless as plenty of you seem to bite back with abuse.
I suggest my thoughts are correct, why will you just not admit that you are in SL because of three things,location,location,location!!!
This is the only reason you have been favoured by the RFL as are all expansion teams at the expense of heartland clubs.
The RFL has looked after Fulham,London Crusaders,London Broncos,Harlequins for 30 years with automatic promotion to SL at the expense of Keighley who rightfully earnt their place.
Now the list goes on Harlequins, Catalans,Celtic, all there because of their location only. I know it will happen anyway regardless of the opinions of the majority of RL fans, but who are we? We only pay out year in year out tramping the country to watch our team in far flung places who are the latest blue eyed boys of the RFL. All i am saying is own up to the truth, expansion team=favoured team=super league franchise!

These points have been argued to death. They are now irrelevant, as Celtic are in SL whether you like it or not.

This is a thread for people wishing Celtic good luck for next season. It is not another licence debate. So I can fully understand why their fans are reacting to you. It is not their fault that the RFL awarded them a licence, so bitching about it here will do nothing, other than make you look silly.

Whilst some of their fans are c*nts, the majority are not, and do not deserve constant harassment from the likes of you. Doncaster can only loosely be called a 'heartland club' anyway.

Despite everything, even though I didn't agree with their inclusion, I'm quite happy to wish the Celtic Crusaders good luck for next season.

Its bugger all to do with Toulouse, its to do with your shocking set up o a club which is an embarrasment to Rugby League and wont be here in 5-10 years time

Jannerboy UK.

Thanks for that.

I have not gloated over your problems and i have not got a problem with Celtic fans, my only problem was with the way the RFL selectively promotes teams to SL, but as stated earlier that is not your fault.

Any how all the best for 2010, i will be glad just to get a team out every week !

thats all fair enough but unfortunately the rfl does not reside on this board, something that many people seem to struggle with understanding.

i remember watching that doc on donny on youtube, and despite all the problems, it was inspirational to see how tough league people are and how resilent this sport is. im sure donny will get through things.

We may well do, but i believe it is the last chance saloon and next time it happens (hopefully never) we are history!
