Quote: tb "Yes dears. Our finances were such that, had we lost that night at Headingley, we would have folded the club the next day and sacked all our players.

What it boils down to is thisLeighton Samuels. This is a Good Thing. I cheered when it happened. As I commiserated with Widnes fans the day their board tried to kill their club.


But it doesn't make what theirr 2006-7 board - including the chairman who promised money he never delivered and then walked out on them – good guys. And it doesn't make what they did acceptable or unexceptional. Nor does it mean 'everybody else was doing it (they weren't) and having to suffer the consequences of what they did is just evidence of how Widnes are/were unfairly treated'.

Still it could be worse

Quote: Durham Giant "You obviously dont understand gambling or capitalism.

Castleford gambled, Widnes gambled.
Castleford won, you lost.
You go bankrupt Cas pay their debts.

Get over it All you are doing is making yourself and a great club ( Widnes) look pathetic'"



You really just don't get it do you

Quote: Durham Giant "Then stop posting on threads which suggest you are not over it. Do not mention Celtic anymore. STOP SHOUTING and stop being so defensive and then you might convince someone you are over it.'"


These would be the same threads you're posting on?

So that makes you bitter does it?


Why should Widnes fans not talk about Celtic, when everybody else is doing so?

Widnes fans' views on Celtic are as varied as everyone else's, and just because we may discuss issues surrounding them doesn’t mean we are all bitter. It seems to me that people with your point of view actually think we all should be, and therefore cannot take comments about Celtic by Widnes fans any other way.

Pepe don't go bursting the poor love's little bubble, I'm not sure he'll be able to handle it.

If and I say that quite simply as there does seem to be a bit too much ' smoke ' for there not to be any ' fire '

If there is a problem , what do you suggest happens ?

I have suggested and several Widnes fans on here have agreed with me that I have no problem with the RFL bailing them out and even financing them till 2012 as long as the bulk of that money comes from the other SL clubs SKY money

What is your opinion on that suggestion ?

That post was aimed at the Widnes fan for spotting your ' mistake ' two and a half hours after I had pointed it out 3 posts earlier

Quote: Starbug "Or that they would not , it works both ways

The point being made is that given Cas's , financial situation at that point , another year in the NL's ' could ' have resulted in something similar happening to them

Looking at those figures they are probably worse than Widnes's at that time , and it is highly unlikely that they have improved since

They only positive point for Cas is that they own Wheldon rd and therefore have some collateral to allow themselves to have that amount of borrowing

Otherwise they would be in the same position or worse than Widnes

Having said that Widnes are playing in a new modern ' fit for purpose ' stadium while Cas are playing in ' no disrespect intended ' a dump

It sort of evens things out a bit'"


Jeremy clarkson could be the pm next year i wont hold my breath. As i have said there is no proof that anything like what happened to widnes would have happened to cas, if there is some i await it with baited breath. Or we could spend ours talking about things that 'could' have happened (that in reality know one on hear knows th ins and outs of), when only certain things is that they di not happen and there is no hard evidence they would have happened in different circumstances.

If you want i will start-salford would be champions of sl by now if they hadnt been releagated, i have no evidence for this but it would have been nice.

Fair do's

One question though

In your opinion would Castleford be in a position to have that much borrowing if they did not own Wheldon rd ?

The finances were similar , the circumstanes of the two club different
