As a Wakefield supporter I find this the topic of this thread an embarrassment.
Widnes deserve to go up because thay fulfilled the criteria asked of Championship Clubs who had aspirations to enter Super League. Whether you agree or disagree with franchising ( I disagree) is irrelevant, Widnes did what was asked.
Good luck to them, as for Wakefield, if we remain in Super League - great, if we don't then whilst I'll be disappointed It won't stop me going to watch (home & away)

Some Wakefield fans, some. Not even the majority.
Also I am another Wakefield fan who voted YES.

Widnes fans are wonderful. I can count many of them on the vikings forum as some of the best friends I've ever had. They're smashing people and I can't think of any more deserving reward as them being able to watch their team play in SL.
To Pepe, Dalton, Vikingman, Offthecuff, Redchemic, Snothimb, vikingsmurf, richardviking, Chris B, and anyone else I've missed . . . . God bless you all. I hope you 'ave a smashin' time in Super League.

| Quote: JB Down Under "I'm struggling to see what Widnes will bring to Sl that Wakey don;t other than some more plastic seats. Nt saying Widens don;t deserve a shot but do Wakey really deserve to be binned for them? If Widnes get 8,000 crowds are financial sustainable and put out a playoff team then I guess the RFL will be proved right, if not then what's the point?'"
Who says Wakey are being binned for Widnes?
Widnes have got in because we have presented the strongest bid. It bears absolutely no relation to Wakefields situation and Widnes have done nothing other than make ourselves the best club to join SL under the criteria set down by the powers that be. Whatever else happens is out of our hands.
We didn't make the rules, we just made it happen. |

| Quote: G.Price Fan Club "Simple question.
Everyone seems to think WT are out and we know Widnes are in.
Is it fair to move a team to the elite that has never won the Championship on the basis they have a nice ground and won the RL equivalent of the JTP Trophy & relegate a team to the Championship which has never finished bottom, qualified for 2 play off's and CC semi final.
Even without my WT head on I can't swallow this, just doesn't seem SPORTING??'"
is it fair to keep wakey in SL this year is a better question
lol at your complaining |

I'm not saying its Widnes's fault. But the reality is you are being brought into SL with an existing SL team being removed to free up that place. My point was time will tell if Widnes will offer more to SL than the team they are repalcing. If they don;t then it was pointless exercise that has basically wasted the milions of pounds that SL has invested in the team being removed. |
