Quote: Ronnie Neale "Surely on that logic discussing anything on a forum is pointless because in the end no one has a choice on what happens in RL?'"

Not if logic is used, and a genuine point expressed.

Just whinging, talking utter bollox and then contradicting your own contention, is likely to be met with the scorn it deserves. I can't even see any discernible point to what you have written.

Apparently widnes have 3,700 Stronghold members, which I think means Sseason ticket holders. Quite encouraging considering the season is still 6 months away and they've not made a marquee signing as yet. If they double that they'll nearly reach the target they've set themselves. Nice to see a bit of ambition.

I'd imagine we won't hit more than 5k max. Hopefully we can attract one real big name to whet the appetite though. Unfortunately, there's a lot of negativity around the club at present and I can't see many more fans digging deep into their pockets.

I suppose 5 straight defeats will take a fair bit of wind out of people's sails! Granted the signings aren't exactly mind blowing but signing the likes of Briscoe, Clarke and Hanbury is probably about the best a promoted team can hope for being realistic.

Wouldn't surprise me to see widnes pick up one of the off contract NRL stars for next season - a big name would help.

It's "Factory at Widnes" by Lowry! Currently in New Zealand.

I think.

The Lowry painting went to NZ not long after it was painted and has been there ever since.

Correct Chris.

Now, now Richard, you're only saying this because you know if you tried to take a picture in Allyfax you'd be lynched, tried for witchcraft and burnt at the stake.

That's unfair. The residents of Halifax no longer believe that taking a picture of someone captures their souls and instead treat modern technology with only a healthy suspicion.

Looking forward to playing you guys at the Halton Stadium next season Chris, it's almost an extra home game for me nowadays, being just over the bridge! In fact I could probably walk it (if I wasn't a lazy fat scrote icon_lol.gif )
