It is posted on the Barrow board (on rlfans.org).
Widnes were denied last time because they were a financial car crash with a points deduction hanging over them.
The RFL don't owe you anything. With Crusaders moving to Wrexham (basically 'up north') nearer to the M62, the RFL won't be so keen to add yet another M62 team to Super League in 2012.
Maybe a merger with Wrexham Crusaders is the best chance Widnes have.
I can just see i now. Nobby and Cullen

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

| I can't believe the Widnes Chairman said that. He's just asking for trouble a la the 'Country Mile' quote. I hope this doesn't come back to bite him on the bum. 
It'd be just like the RFL to either refute the claim or just to pass them over again out of spite. |

Barrow for Super League 2015: |
|
|
The big difference is that both Barrow and Whitehaven are traditional RL areas and both have fans who will strongly oppose any kind of 'merger' (plus it takes at least 1hr 40mins hours to travel between the two).
How many RL fans live in Wrexham ??
Widnes Crusaders for Super League 2010.

Clubs on the edge of SL and the RFL need to be careful with this kind of conjecture. Yes, right now i would say that Widnes are in the box seat but as i 've said many times, how embarrassing would it be if a club like ..... let's say .....Halifax, won the NRC and the GF next year - total domination. Let's say also that Halifax lose by 6 points to Saints in a Challenge Cup Semi. During that season, the average attendance jumps to 4,000 and by January 2011 the club have sold 3,500 season tickets for the following year. By June 2011 the club are once again at the top and in the NRC final. How embarrassing and difficult would it be to say to Halifax then that their bid has been unsuccesful?
Pre-empting and media statements are all well and good but conjecture (like Matt's famous comment) could leave lots of egg on lots of faces. There's nothing wrong in shouting about what clubs have achieved to date and how plans are progressing but to issue statements about being "chosen" already for 2012 is disrespectful quite frankly - in EXACTLY the same vain as Matt's comments.

my thoughts are that he is saying the truth and been told by the RFL that they are already in. no matter who or what happens.

Slightly off topic, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get some announcement soon that the franchise criteria re grounds has been eased "due to the credit crunch". This would get Cas, Wakey and Salford out of gaol for another three years.

i would say they are a total certainty, thanks partly to the controversy surrounding their omission last time
