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.  |

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.  |

I think as fans, you take it for granted when other teams are going through hard times. Widnes donated £10,000 to Bradford the other season as I know Other clubs helped out.
Marwan Koukash has donated some prizes to help raise funds for us.

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.
I've done it for all clubs in the past and don't see why I shouldn't support your cause even though you caused get heart break back in 79  shame not all supporters don't see the real picture

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
