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

Your board? This Moderation award has gone to your head sonny.
I thought i'd miss it - but i don't. It's surprising how tiring it can be - constantly bagging Widnes and i've had three good years. It seems WireWonder is causing you far more grief than i ever did - that's Super League for ya  |

If Widnes/Halifax or future franchise teams were to finish bottom, would the 2nd to bottom side be relegated?

| Quote: Old Viking "Wakefield survived in SL, and that is the best I can say. The RFL set the rules and if you look at some of the things that have been said by the RFL over the years you will find that the RFL's vision of SL was a good setup at every level from the Facilities that a club could offer and a solid youth programme.
Widnes' success at reserve and Academy level has been outstanding and the idea of the Viking Stronghold is one that will be copied by other clubs. [The club is not looking for 7000 members this year but rather next year or the year after].
Widnes is a small town, unlike the City of Wakefield, and carries more than its weight in RL circles.
So don't make stupid criticisms of the system that allowed you to survive as long as you did and of a club that has now benefited from the same system.'"
Don't jump to conclusions or it may make you look stupid  |

Maybe you would have been better this year putting in these good young kids in, instead of players, who know they're not coming to SL with you. I think you would be doing better then you are at present.
'"
Unfortunately we have put in a couple of kids this year and it has demonstrated why you shouldn't rush the kids in. Two very talented youngsters have suffered injuries.
Gore suffered a back injury in the game he played in and Craven was spear-tackled into the ground resulting in a dislocated shoulder.
These lads are fantastic and put in fantastic performances and they will continue to be blooded but there is a hell of a difference playing against lads your own age and semi-professional players. |

I don't know why anyone bothers rising to his posts... he's got all the intellect of a road killed badger. |

Well said mate. It's easy to forget we lost some of our top youth when went into admin! The likes of Myler and Sidlow so we lost the crop aged around 20-23 so we are now looking at kids from 17-19 who just aren't quite their physically yet. Full time training will speed this up no end though! |
