Widnes will definitely get in this time.
Anyway it gives Warrington a proper Derby instead of a pretend one with either Saints or Wigan.

Love child? You lover need windmilling.

So you've all had a taste of what the Widnes lot are like, i'll just leave this here. www.gopetition.com/petition/42315.html

You know your in a strange world when Widnes are referred to as the RFL's love child

Just can't win, can you?

Quick question. . Can 2 teams go up not just the one because as far as I can remember the statement at one point said at least one team will go up. I would like to see both fax and Widnes up

By the rules all 3 technically could.

One side is guranteed a place... To be announced on said date.

Then the other two sides and the 14 SL clubs then battle for the (ATM) remaining 13 spots for SL 2012

It is a possibillity yes,especially if something goes wrong on the stadium front with a SL club.

Is this Poll who you want to go in, or who you think will go in ?

Big difference...........

In hindsight I actually did mean to call it think! Just realised it wasn't worded that way

Not forgetting some record scores against the team dropping out. What a joke that teams fixtures will be

Anyone but Widnes.

As a Wire fan it would always be Widnes

As a neutral i would still pick Widnes

If i worked for the Rfl i'd pick Barrow (because it wouldn't make any sense)

not sure what you mean by that. weve also had more than a little taste of what a lot of fax supporters are like, as many of them spent most of the summer and autumn being openly hostile and insulting on the widnes borad, without ever making any factualy accurate comments.
that petition you have linked raises the following points

''Three years we were turned down due to an incomplete stadium and insufficient youth set up. In the time since then:

- We have become the Co-operative Champions (yes, we won the NR cup too. which makes us just as eligible as you, no matter what you might think)
- Become the most consistent team in our division (thats not actually true now is it?)
- Now play in a completed stadium for for Super League (so do Widnes)
- Have reinstated our academy team (when? last year? this year? and only because you had to, again look at the widnes academy)
- Improved our community structure (which could pretty much mean anything, the 'community structure' at widnes is brilliant)
- Raised attendances (slightly, and we all know your crowd against batley was made up to masssage your season average)
- Become financially stable and one of the few Clubs who creates a yearly profit. (true, but nowhere near the extent we have/do. and before anyone says it, we didnt fudge the books. its a perfectly legitimate and legal accounting practice that shows us to have a large profit, companies do it all the time)
- Improved marketing communications with our growing supporters (again no better or worse than our set up)
- Have a sponsorship portfolio that is envied by Clubs throughout the leagues'' (But not envied by us, if anything ours shopuld be 'envied')

so whilst i wish you all the best in your application. it might help if you backed it up by pointing out factors that widnes either dont beat you hands down on, or on which you are pretty much level and indistinct.

Widnes are likely to bring the most to SL out of the three, but call me old fashioned, but it should be the winner of the Championship at the end of the regular season.
