I sincerely hope the club can successfully negotiate a payment plan with the taxman and that the legal action for the pensions money is directed where it should be - to your former owner, who clearly did not meet his financial responsibilities while in charge of Crusaders. Hopefully the RFL will step in and sort this out as things were just getting going with the Crusaders. It would not be just for the club to be undermined by its past that had nothing to do with the current setup.

I really enjoyed my visit to Wrexham last year. The fans were great and the team became very competitive. I really don't want anything bad to happen to the Crusaders.

Keeping everything crossed that this all gets sorted out satisfactorily!

According to the article on the BBC website the pensions issue relates to both clubs - the old one and the new one so they're just as guilty if its all true......

Its a direct quote from the Union representative so probably fairly accurate.

Does it involve the deported the players? If so, it seems strange that the players' expect to get the pension payments that arise from contracts they were not allowed to have.

I'm now wondering if there's more to this than meets the eye. I actually bought a copy of the North Wales 'Daily Post' this morning and Wrexham FC is now up for sale, but NOT Wrexham Village of which it and (I think) the RL club are part. Also , to quote Ian Roberts:
'We're still hopeful of playing rugby(sic) here next season and are negotiating with the Rugby Football League.
We are trying our best, it's a very difficult business to be involved in, especially in the current climate.'
This is a bit different to his statement yesterday about being 99% certain that the club would carry on!
