Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



This is the one club that Super League really does need. Good luck to them next year.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: 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. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

expand?
Genuinely.....I have no interest in "the saviour club" posts without some back up.....tip of a stadium, poor management and average academy products......why do we need another suburb of leeds in SL?

Bradford are a genuinely big club - bigger than my own in a few ways, although obviously not in anywhere near as strong a position currently. They're one of very few clubs that could sustain five figure attendances in Super League and are one of the highest profile names in the sport. I'm neither pro or anti expansion really, as if a team ends up in Super League via earning it on the pitch - as your team just have - then good luck to them. I've been to Brentford, Harlequins and Gillingham watching Wires. I'll hopefully be able to get to "the wedding venue" for our game next season after not being able to make it last year. I love an afternoon at Odsal on a nice day (though not a cold and wet one!) and want Bradford back.

Well put. This foru needs more debate rather than knee jerk sweeping statements........I'd love to see Bradford back in SL.......BEST BUMPER STICKER EVER...
Leeds Bradford...that's an airport, St Helens v Wigan....that's a derby!

I genuinely said well done Bradford........but really....let's not go down the route of slagging people off. You're just out of the bin.......mid table Championship and 5 trophies deep of the 42 on offer since 1996.....and none for the last 15 years.....who owns Oddslum?

Jesus side skirt your point about our academy being complete rubbish and aim another one. Counting’s not your strong point if you think we’ve only won five even if you’re only counting “the big ones”. It’s 4 superleague titles, 3 league leaders shields, 3 world club challenges, 2 challenge cups, 1 championship Shield and 1 leagueone play off. There is life outside of superleague and we’ve even won two we didn’t want to be in. We won our last trophy 2 days ago in actual fact. You’re commenting on a thread about it.

The last “big one” was the world club challenge in 2006. 2018-2006 is 12 not 15 btw.

That’s since 1996 given you don’t realise Rugby league is actually 123 years old.

Bradford council own ”Oddslum”.

Anything else you want to be factually wrong about?

Looking forward to the kiwi tests? Good job the captain is out being an average academy product. Shame two of his brothers, John Bateman and Elliot Whitehead might be playing though I guess.

Thanks for the good wishes, much appreciated! As for the bitter ones, simply look at the crowd who all paid on the gate on Sunday. Don't tell me you'd rather play Toronto than the Bulls with their away following?

Don't be slagging off Torontos away following. They're a lovely couple!

You know that the plan was always for a play off for promotion to championship don’t you? The extra place is the game between Swinton and Workington next week.

Super duper league fans for you that.

Anyway back on topic. Buzzing with that the lads have been superb in the play offs. Big achievement and they should be pleased. Let’s see how we get on recruiting for next year. Webster is a great start.

Yeah I’m just a fan I don’t have any say on or knowledge of the club’s accounts. Same as you don’t have with Wakefield. I support my club you support yours.

Btw my own accounts are fine I’m not loaded but I personally cut my cloth and all that crap you sort come out with. Not that that has anything to do with rugby league.
