They’ll probably raise similar today and at a fund raising event tonight. It’s inportant to note that if the club is liquidated, all donations will be given up.

A consortium a businessmen are close we hope to taking over the club and securing our future financially.

The money raised by the fans I should say will hopefully be used at a later stage but will probably directly go towards and helping out the wage bill.

We have a monthly subscription called VIQI. Since Saturday, an additional 800 new members have signed up pledging £10/£15 a month, this alone will generate a further £96,000-£144,000 Which will all go directly to the club as and when VIQI feel it’s suitable to release the funds.

We’re down but never out, never will be in Widnes.

Somebody came forward and donated £10,000 yesterday to the club on top of the £50,000. This is far from a begging post but the response from the rugby league community, not just in Widnes, has been unbelievable. If you’d like to donate or help in any way, this is the link. https://www.gofundme.com/keep-the-vikin ... 0223874435

I will not be donating a penny, charity starts at home.

Well yeah. I really want to see Widnes come through the other side, but Bradford's history points to any funds being raised at this stage being swallowed up and being of no long-term help. I totally understand why Widnes fan's first response is to dip into their pockets because they love their club, but I'd advise caution.

To just clarify, all donations are being ring fenced so if we are liquidated and the consortium doesn’t go ahead this week, the donations will be given back.
The donations aren’t directly going towards the club itself straight away.
It’s set up by a fan.

Excellent stuff and good luck with your resurrection.
One thing with administrators is that they put themselves at the top of the list, with everything else secondary.
No matter what happens, they always get paid.

Yeah, Phil Finney who has been handling matters with Dave Rolt has a meeting with the fans last night and that’s the first thing he said. Administrators come first, then the club. But thanks, hoping all will be sorted this week and we can move on.

Sitting on -8 points at the bottom of the championship is a far cry from two weeks ago sitting top after beating Toulouse.

Is not the whole Rl Community and supporting a once great club starting at home, a heartland traditional club. If that's your attitude god help you if your club goes tits up, what goes around comes around.

It’s taken me back on here, Facebook etc how wel thought of Widnes actually is, or once was. I’m not expecting anybody to donate, just trying to get the point across that there has been a fantastic reaction over the weekend from rugby league as a whole.

It's not Widnes per se, it's a pro rugby league club and Widnes ARE part of that family.
Competing like hell on the pitch is one thing but, survival as a club is something totally different and "there for the grace of god" and all that.

I feel for the Fans what's going on a Widnes, I really do but would they be supporting me if I fell bankrupt? No, they wouldn't...

£10,000 from one fan alone which is a very special kind of dedication !

No they wouldn't. However, if the roles were reversed, some of their fans may be supporting Trinity though.

Very kind.
