Chill, Widnes IMO deservedly got a place in SL next season. If its at the expense of us its hardly thier fault is it.
Its either the RFL's or our own (depending on your viewpoint)

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

We have still won more than we have lost, in the league we are in, have you?
I'm sorry, but you really do not have any sort of point at all. You just sound a little pathetic and desperate. Your clubs’ future was ruined by it's previous board, in exactly the same way as ours was last time.
If you want to point the finger of blame there are other, more worthy, areas to point at than Widnes.

| Dosn't this kind of thing show up the whole "franchising" thing in all it's glory.
Will the Widnes "faithfull" still watch a "poor" team lose this season?
Will they achieve the 7000 membership they are looking for based on not knowing who will be playing next season?
We still have 2 months to find out if any team is being removed from SL and in that 2 months Wakey or whoever could go on and not lose a game.
And a team who cannot get a win at all costs in the championship and perilously near the bottom could be "relegated" into SL because they qualify
But is really is a sad state of affairs when the actual game itself is, at best, 2nd billing to all the BS about franchising being the way forward.

and if any wakefield fan wants to blame the RFL then they deserve the club they've got....the RFL where kind enough to give you 3 years and nearly £4million to make a go of it and the people that ran the club blew it ...

| So the 'Vikings' took yet another hiding at the weekend against the might of Batley. The latest in a long line of embarassing defeats.
If this crowd can get hammered by those sorts of teams,imagine what big clubs like Wire will do to them next season? They will be an embarassment to our sport.
Cheshire's other club are already booked in for the wooden spoon for all of their 3 year stay.
Widnes only got a SL licence this time around because of the amount of whinging and bleating they've done in the last 3 years since they were last refused and got the sympathy vote this time off the RFL.
No doubt their fans will be saying their side will look different next season,but what big name players will want to go there?
Top players are attracted to top clubs who win big trophies so that rules Widnes out. Big names come to the Warringtons of this world.
It will make our game a farce with what we're going to see at the Stobart next season.
They should have their Super League licence revoked. Immediately.

| Can't help but feel embarrassed when I read Wirewonders posts.
Reading his posts I'm guessing he's a fan of a rival team trying to make Wire fans look bad. (granted at times it doesn't take much. )

| Regardless of what we as fans think (I think P&R is the right way not the franchise system) our governing body set out criteria 3 years ago that both SL & Championship clubs were supposed to follow.
My club Widnes, according to the RFL, are the Championship club that have followed their guidelines the best & therefore deserve to be promoted to SL this time. I am ecstatic that this is the case but do feel for Fax that also met the criteria.
The SL club that makes way for us (could have been Fax) will be the club, according to the RFL, that has been the least observant of the franchise guidelines.
All clubs were aware of the franchise guidelines 3 years ago & knew that if you followed them you could be promoted or not demoted.
Though this was not the case for the SL clubs because the RFL do not treat all clubs equally.
Wakey are favorites for the drop because they are the furthest club from the franchise criteria, we all know this a load of bollo@@s & it should be Quinns and/or Crusaders facing the drop. Whoever leaves SL will feel gutted due to this.
In a perfect world Widnes & Fax would go up, Wakey would stay up, Quinns & Crusaders would go down, but our world is not perfect.
We all know the above to be true yet the RFL persist with their expansion plans that have never worked (paymasters SKY want this) & therefore cause the anomisity between fans we see in this thread.
Divide and conquer comes to mind.

| Reading people's response to Wirewonders' post is most entertaining. These Widnesians jump out of the river slap bang into his hands. Wirewonder doesn't even need a rod! Wake up and smell the latte Widnes fans!!!!
