schmobhead, whatever

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!!!!

Would be funny when widnes finish bottom this season let alone the next 3 years


Talk that one up mr lewis

I would love it if Widnes did not come bottom the next 3 yrs.It would shut up idiotic comments like this.

Winning something usual helps before the overall arogance across all boards begins btw

Snag is under this wonderful franchise nonsense you halifax and barrow have won things and all are struggling,plus barrow and halifax have won the proper trophies and are battling relegation along with your good selves this season which is comedy gold,come on tricky dicky lewis talk this one up

Surely if anything that's a good thing that the same clubs aren't winning things year in year out.

Were not battling relegation though... (even in a league position sense just yet as still early).
