i am absolutely gutted at the loss of the license for cru, hopefully crusaders will develop even further and come back stronger in 2015.................you lot are some of the best fans i have met in 50 years of watching the game.

Would that be the Wrexham fans or the Bridgend fans?

Feel sorry for the Crusaders fans, the club has been mismanaged by the board. Wakey fans had been aware for a while that Crusaders nplayers had not been paid.

Great fans the Crusaders lot. Always make noise and get behind their team despite really struggling on the field this season. The crowd you took to the Giants in teh play-offs last season was a credit to you all. I really hopes it's not the end for you. If you were ableto settle down into the championship for 3 years at the lst licensing stage, you would have been OK and had a really strong bid this time round. Hope you build from now on

I'm gutted for the Cru fans. They are lovely people and very loyal. I loved my visits to Wrexham. This is all a real mess and such a shock. I hope something good comes out of it all, although at present it is just looking, well, like a real mess. Damn shame.

Really feel for you. Met loads of great Crusaders fans in both wrexham and Cardiff.

Hope you stick with RL and do not blame the sport for the mickey poor management you have had.

Best of luck with the rebuild of the club. Regroup, rebuild and come back stronger next time around. I don't think there are any real winners from todays shambles.

Actually feel physically sick. Robbed by two money grabbing tossers. Feel worse for the players, none of them deserved to be treated like this

As mentioned above ..Great set of fans . Never met one that wasn't up for the craic . Never met one that was lacking in the humour department . Good experiences every time I encountered Cru fans . Will miss them . The fans of a few other teams could learn a lot from them .
To be fair they should never have been allowed into SL . They just were not ready . But as they were allowed to join us , the majority of fans of other clubs welcomed them . Had some fun . They had some good results . IIRC Bulls were the first team they beat . That was a time of much merryment among the rest of SL .

I am gutted for the fans . It is them that will suffer the most . They have put a lot of effort into following the Cru . Especially the fans from the south . Hopefully they can now go back down to south Wales and build from there .
BTW I still have Rob's scarf .

Rob . PM me and I will mail it to you matey .
