Probable move to Newport by Celtic Crusaders

[KiwiStorm]

It looks like the Celtic Crusaders will move their games to Rodney Parade in Newport, from next season, though this is not a permanent move.

From what I understand, the Rodney Parade ground has a ~11,000-12,000 capacity, but they are upgrading to 15,000.

The move is to be done whilst decisions are made on the new Bridgend Stadium, so the Crusaders meet with the ground requirements of Super League. (Being one of the 5 clubs that were sent reminders about the Stadium requirements for a Super League License).

a way to alienate the juniors the way i see it. Why not still play the odd game there.

From what I understand, they aren't moving lock, stock and barrel to Newport, just their Super League games. I think that the Academy games and their Administration will still be in Bridgend. (But not completely sure on that.)
