If Celtic do happen to make Superleague, is it important that Cardiff, Bridgend or some other welsh team enter a team in NL2? One of the best parts of the Crusaders so far, is that it gives the best players from the National conference the chance to step up to semi pro level. With a super league side, this will largely be lost, since most will not make the step up. In fact, there is a danger that for some time, no Welsh will be exposed to semi pro level football if the new franchise is given a spot in SL. With the superleague side using a large squad of players, there will be quality players left over. Wouldnt it be advantageous if that pool of excess players had a semi pro Welsh team to play in, thus giving the local welsh players the opportunity to play with and against higher level teams. I would envisage a set up similar to what exists with many Qld cup teams. This hasnt really seemed to be discussed anywhere in the Celtic bid. Is it one of the major points which has been missed in the bid and is it possible that if the Welsh are succesful in their bid that we will see the formation of a new semi pro team.
