Widnes WILL be in SL in 2012....or the RFL may as well just pack up their tent....head and shoulders above the other teams named above.

Your sham of a club was 100% dependent on overseas players for a number of years - don't be so f'ing hypocritical. c020.gif

Like I've said before, your youth policy has been forced, not chosen. c020.gif icon_razz.gifIMP:

Kinda, but what I meant was Quins have had to bring more through then other teams simply because they cannot afford to bring in experienced quality players to support the learning and development of the youth (due to been skint, e.g. because they have such woeful support) hence them been poor on the pitch at the mo.

I think we will take 1000 + supporters to more than half of the clubs in SL. Quite a few of the current SL clubs wont be doing this so this will be good for the competition. We took 1100 i rekon to Keighly this year and 7,8,900 fans to other clubs in Yorkshire. I can see 2000+ going to places like Warrington and St Helens and if we get the nod i can see us averaging 7,000-8,000 for the first two seasons.

People go on about us not playing well in this division and our team would be hopeless in SL. Lets take Halifax and Featherstone for example, two best teams this year, if they got the nod do people seriously think that the team they put out in SL would be similar to the one they have now? Not a chance. The salary cap rises by over £1m if we went to SL, whoever goes up would bring in at least 10 players or so. It hasn't worried me about where we finished this year and the quality of the side we have had out. Its allowed us to play some of our younger players who are 17,18 or 19. I can see these youngsters like Craven, Brown, Gerrard, Kelly and a couple of others going very very far in the game.

What are the club doing to ensure they do?

Are attendances that far off?

a few hundred down on the 2500 needed,which is still nowhere near enough for sle imo.

at the moment the club have reduced the price of ST's in the hope of attracting new customers.
i'm sure when the season starts the club will be doing a few promotions in an atempt to get more people in.

Quote: Chris Dalton "Castleford have won nothing in the super league era, their crowds are not poor compared to some but hardly unbeatable and given a long term period in the championship you would probably not raise your head above the level of the rest of the SL hopefuls in any way. Given an extended run in Sl there are a number of teams who would offer at least as much as Castleford.'"


Apart from the regulars, who has won anything in the SL era?, their crowds are comparable with half the teams in SL and given their location and competition compare most favourably with the so called big clubs. As for a long term period in the championship thats where they differ from you because having been relegated twice[and before you say anything once under the same circumstances as you] they were good enough to get out of that division TWICE. You had the opportunity before in SL and failed miserably thats why you are where you are at the moment, unlike Cas what has managed the play offs in their extended run in the SL and thats with using their own junior development not players on dual contract, sorry squire the only thing you and the number of other clubs in the championship can compete with Cas is with your posh toilets.
