Pisser..

they make a big play on SOC and their expensive yoof structure, what smacks me is the fact that Widnes have all their finances in 1 basket, should anything happen to SOC then Widnes are just another basket case.

They may jibe as Fax cost cut but our position is solid and sustainable, not reliant on single rich backer.

I dont think anyone can knock what SOC has done for them. Im sure that if we had someone like that we would have done exactly the same thing. Just think its funny that some on there see every comment in the press as a dig at them.

Exactly. We've been there before with Brookie and enjoyed the golden era 1985-1989.

Also, that Trust in Widnes site is for Widnes fans who have been lobotomised.

Is this not the same Halifax you lot were saying where in dire straits unless you win GF? Or are we going back to the usual Widnes couldn't survive without SO'C but other sides would be fine? d040.gif

Finances in one bucket? Did we not turn a profit and SO'C has set club up in a much better structure? As for Fax cost cutting tbh yet to see it!

What makes me laugh is the banging on about our stadium!! (Widnes fans obviously very well informed NOT)- The Shay is now up there with one of the best facilities in RL (no ridiculous queuing for tickets) and Calderdale Council have signed off our capacity in its current state as 10k, once the North Stand issues are sorted our capacity will then be raised to 14k!! - Huddersfield would not be able to use The Shay next year had the ground not got a 10k capacity in place!!

Widnes wouldn't be able to run the sooper dooper yoof structure without SOC, so yes I am saying with the clubs current structure and without SOC you wouldn't survive.

As for Fax cost cutting - it's well publicised that the players and coach have accepted paycuts for 2011, precisely the reason why Branighan has gone and most probably our superstar Shad Royston.

I'm sure we could put the 1mill profit to some good use. To an extent I agree but not completely, I mean Halifax need what circa 25k for youth side? How many experieneced 2nd rows in squad, talk of re signing Holyrood... better use of money?

I'd prefer Fax to have a good bid and tbh had been wondering how well you'd go up against the other SL sides in round 2 as it where (should Widnes get nod 1st time). Though I feel off pitch affairs may halt now without that could of been real talk of two up two down?

So you're working on the assumption that there weren't any visiting fans at this match. Get 'em into SLE, they'd fir the criteria there, for proof see Celtic, Harlequins & Catalans.

I wish you would stop banging on about 1million profit !!. It was 1 million turnover that was required and yes you posted a profit but not £1,000,000.00

The figures I've seen are
South Stand: 3,211.
Skircoat: 2,330.
North Stand: 1,020
East Stand: 3,500

Total: 10,061
Considering the North Stand requires remediation work, which I haven't seen any plans for them to carry out then the total capacity is surely 9041?

www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news?articleid=6446205

Apologies for missing this information. I've looked to see where this new capacity has been mentioned but can't find it. If this is true how have you eeked a further 4,000 capacity.
