Im with Rotherham Fev Fan. The idea of Celtic was to spread the game in the south of Wales. Doing so alienated most of the rugby league heartlands when it was clear to most that the club would go the way every other team in the south of wales would go!
The move to north wales does 2 things keeps alive the team in wales claim and ensures attendances will be boosted due to away followings! Its a typical RFL farce and if they get another franchise then teams like Fax, Leigh, Widnes, Fev, Barrow etc might as well pack up!!
I never went to Bridgend in principle! I may not bother with Wrexham either!!

Agreed the whole thing is a farce the idea of a welsh club in SL was expansion, how far is Wrexham from Widnes or St Helens 20 - 30 miles? How much more of this lunacy do we have to put up with? I whole heartedly support expanding the game but clubs need to start at the bottom develop a fan base and and introduce rl into the community to extract the best of the local talent, if this takes 10/15 years thats what it takes.
I do not wish it but I fully expect this to fail within 2 years, it doesnt matter how much money is thrown at it, I see Noble has already started with his excuses today. The rfl was looking for expansion what it has got is division and ridicule.
