Quote William Eve="William Eve"Fantastic news that Wales are spreading the gospel of RL beyond their heartlands by staging a fixture in Wakefield.
Scotland will soon be spreading the gospel in places like Hull, Workington and Coventry.
But not in Scotland, obviously.
That wouldn't make any sense at all.'"
The Wales RL tried a number of grounds in Wales but we're unable to find any who could accommodate them on Friday or Saturday then they had to plump for Wakefield and no doubt JK becoming a Trinity employee in a few weeks helped.
I would guess Merthyr RU club will the the venue of choice for the next few years as I fear for the relationship between Crusaders and Wrexham FC and fitting in Welsh games too might put even more strain on that. For once the South seems where the stability will be as the Ironmen and Merthyr seems a good match and the artificial pitch will mean there won't be the need to move games due to pitch work and the like which has dogged Crusaders year in year out.
Hopefully I'm wrong and Cru will stay at the Racecourse long term but time will tell.
