| Of the five
Batley : have said thanks but no thanks
Barrow : Dont waste your ink
Widnes : League average attendance 2717 just scrape in
Halifax : League average attendance 2473 just scrape out
Featherstone : League average attendance 1929 well down
So it would seem to be a two horse race with the Chemics a big nose in front as Fax dont meet one of the main criteria.

| Our average attendance was 3021 over the season not 2717. Halifax scraped over by some interesting methods on the last day with 2508 or thereabouts.

| As for the content of the application?
Fax no yoof
Widnes have more kiddies than a kindergarten, crap on the field of play but all collected up by nappies.
Fax no money, but oodles of success on t'pitch and are consistent top 3 finishers
Widnes have the Banque d'Connor.
Widnes also close to expansion area (North Wales)
Fax no professional back office - This year, akin to Billy Smart Ltd
Widnes have built themselves a purpose built Sky Box for £20 gees
Paul Cullen has SL experience (i'm really clutching straws now).
Go Vikings.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Has to be Widnes , any club that can turn a million pound loss in one season to a million pound profit the following season on virtually identical attendances will be contesting the WCC inside 3 years

| Can't see how any of those clubs offer anything more than the existing bunch. A complete farce, the game is a joke.

The only club who can possibly replace any side would be Widnes. And even then, I thought the game was supposed to be based on on-field ability?

Yes because all the clubs are thriving in SL at the moment aren't they, quins almost went this year.
I think we'll add to SL given the chance.

I stand corrected, 3020.5 it is bloody calculators never trust em, just means you are a long long nose infront of Fax and will still get the gig.

Way way down the list of good reasons to be an RL club these days esp Sooooooperdoooooper league.
Pretty seats are far far more important.
Followed by a YOOF development system that isn't helped by all the "grandma had a british passport" signings.
But you pay yer money.................

| Playing by the RFL's hymn book, I think Widnes are the best equipped side to make an impact in 2012 and beyond.

I agree
It's just that on the field they will be pants, but that is now irrelevant!

Probably, at least for the first season. However we have an abundance of young talent and I think a fair share of them could break into a SL first team picture. If so, we'd have a cap freed up for some more established talent.
The other difference is that the Championship team elected to SL next year will have uber time to prepare. Importantly, they'll have a fair crack of the whip when it comes to recruitment. IIRC the last team to have this was Widnes in 2001, before the NFP GF was moved to October.

| Good Luck Widnes.
Look forward to some good battles and healthy attendances in the near future, which is what it's all about.
